enidcruiser Posted January 8, 2011 #306 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I must have the site up to order the chocolate covered strawberrys and champagne, the flowers, the Coca Cola card and most of all to PRINT MY SEA PASS DOCS before the cruise next Saturday, the 15th. What do you think, how long will this sucker be down. Oops, it just came up with this message. "If you are trying to make a reservation, you can contact a Certified Vacation Plannerat (866) 562-7625 or you can contact your local representative." Guess it is down for a while and they are afraid they are losing customers since you can't do anything on the site. Guess we will just keep guessing on this one.

Julia Julia, my best guess is Sunday afternoon. But definitely by Monday - which is plenty of time to print your SetSail Pass. And you can (as you have discovered) order stuff on the phone. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia It will be back in plenty of time for your cruise. They have a phone number to call in your orders. And you don't even need your set sail pass. It just makes it faster if you have it in hand. But you have 7 more days to print it since it can be done up until the day before you leave. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkauf Posted January 8, 2011 #309 Share Posted January 8, 2011 There must be so many people on the Royal website that it is taking a long time to load but I did get in, and it did say I still have 23 points and I am still Diamond status. We have printed out our former cruises and put them on a spread sheet. Only one of the cruises was in a suite - the last one where the upgrade fairy contacted us the day before we sailed. Still, we need only 1 point to make it to D+ and that sholuld happen when we get on the Explorer in February for the superbowl, but if they change the program, we will be grandfathered in as Diamond and just miss Diamond Plus by 1 point. Someone stated that maybe they let us still earn points on cruises that were booked long before this new change. I don't know as we have 4 cruises booked right now. We only need one more point...oh well. We love Royal and will continue to sail, even if it means that it will take us longer to get to D+ under the new system.

cbostic817 Posted January 8, 2011 #310 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Can someone summarize (or point me to) what we think the change will be...PLEASE? :) I hear about this change but can't reverse engineer this thread to make out what we think this change is. We're about to go Diamond after the cruise next week (1/15). If they grandfather us in as Platinum based on 1/12 status ... I'm going to blow a gasket :D:mad:. I did have the following exchange with the RCCL C&A online chat in case you're interested. What do you think? Chat Content: KristenRCCL: [18:41] Welcome to our real-time support chat. How can I help you today? Marco: [18:41] Hello KristenRCCL: [18:41] What can I assist you with today Marco. Marco: [18:41] Quick question...I heard a rumor that you guys are changing the C&A plan on 1/12. [18:42]We are scheduled on the Serenade on 1/15 in a Grand Suite so we get 2 credits because this will make us Diamond. I hope this change won't affect us negatively since we did this just for that purpose [18:43]Anything we should worry about that you know of? KristenRCCL: [18:44] One moment. Marco: [18:45] standing by...thanks. KristenRCCL: [18:45] We have not made any announcements with regard to the Crown & Anchor Society since last June when we made improvements to the program with the introduction of the Onboard Booking Bonus and new onboard value coupons by tier. The Crown & Anchor Society members are very important to us as a company and any changes to the program would be driven by our quest for continuous improvement and based on member input. Further, as stated in the past, current members would be grandfathered in at their existing tier level. Thank you for your loyalty to Royal Caribbean and rest assured that we are committed to providing you the best cruise experience in the industry, including our Crown & Anchor Society." [18:47]Is there anything else I can assist you with? Marco: [18:47] Understood...I'm just worried that if you make the cutoff 1/12 then we are technically not Diamond yet and that would be very bad since we'd get "grandfathered" as Platinum if you move the goal line for Diamond. I guess you can't say more other than the official language so I'll just have to hope you've thought this circumstance through. See you guys in a few days! Happy new year! KristenRCCL: [18:48] Thank you and have a wonderful evening Marco. I got the same cut copy and paste, boilerplate message verbatem when I contacted them :eek:...We'll see.

enidcruiser Posted January 8, 2011 #311 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yes, I know I can call the order in but I'm such a computer person, I don't make phone calls any more to order stuff. This is such a great thread. Thanks for the suggestions. Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted January 8, 2011 #316 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Of course that's true.

Coralc Posted January 8, 2011 #318 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks. It's because I don't know how to type. :) 1 does the shift key and the other one hunts & pecks. :) But I'm pretty fast at it. I would be concerned, but I'm not booking a cruise, checking prices or waiting to print out a setsail. I feel sorry for the people that are . (that would be annoying) There is nothing much exciting going on right now, (and it's cold) so I am anxious to see if something will change. In the meantime...we have Cruise Critic. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamerella Posted January 8, 2011 #323 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Have you seen the updated C&A Benefits page on the RCCL site? It looks like they have listed/detailed more of the benefits (listing more Diamond Plus benefits than before). The page was different yesterday.
