As previously reported there is a conversion calculator on the RCCL C&A site.

 

I know a little bit about web-based calculators... theirs accommodates cruise credits up to 500 :eek: but for practical purposes, here is their official conversion table for 1 through 100 Cruise Credits, which takes you up to the new Pinnacle level:

 

The format is Old Cruise Credits => New Cruise Points => New Membership Level

 

1 => 8 => GOLD
2 => 15 => GOLD
3 => 22 => GOLD
4 => 29 => GOLD
5 => 38 => PLATINUM
6 => 45 => PLATINUM
7 => 52 => PLATINUM
8 => 69 => EMERALD
9 => 76 => EMERALD
10 => 83 => DIAMOND
11 => 90 => DIAMOND
12 => 97 => DIAMOND

32 => 237 => DIAMOND PLUS
33 => 244 => DIAMOND PLUS
34 => 251 => DIAMOND PLUS
35 => 258 => DIAMOND PLUS

So.... where does the 3 points below (cut and pasted from Royal WEB)

 

It frosts me (just a little) that they have a formula that leaves you 3 points shy of Emerald level with a basic seven 7 day cruises... that's half a cruise. OK.... done venting

Hope you're doing well Theron!

There is no night to give back to you.

 

There is an assigned conversion value, stated in Theron's first post on this thread.

 

Well that sucks. I understand (and agree) that they wanted to grandfather folks in so no one lost a level that they had earned, but I so no reason why someone with two 3 night cruises should be assigned the same points as someone with two 9 night cruises.

 

They've switched to a new system that recognizes that nights stayed are what's important, yet not recognized previous stays.

Hey Bill, I'm doing well!

 

I assume that they start the new points system at 3, because that's the shortest cruise you can normally take. The Gold level of C&A starts after your first cruise (formerly 1 "credit"), so the entry level would have to be able to accommodate the shortest cruise.

 

I wonder if there will be a few "first time RCCL" cruisers who take a future one or two night inaugural cruise with a new ship, and end up short of Gold status. :) I would imagine very few people on an inaugural would not already be C&A members, but it's probably possible.

I ended up lucky I guess... my past cruise nights add up to 74, including a double 7 night count for a cruise in a suite. Short of Diamond by one 7 nighter. I had 10 old credits, all for 7-night and longer sailings, with a couple of double credits for 12 night+ sailings.

 

The conversion table gives me 9 more points than I've actually earned at sea..... not that I'm complaining or anything ;)

Your initial thought is correct, Theron.

 

There are no one or two night inaugural cruises.

 

There are sometimes one or two night PRE-inaugural cruises, but since they are by invitation only, and there is no charge for them, they do not earn cruise points.

Of course. I guess I am still waiting for my first "pre-inaugural" invitation! ;)

In the conversion process, it looks like RCCL intended to and succeeded in making sure everyone stayed at the same level they were before.

 

The next level of concern seems to be "how long until I reach that next level?"

 

I added information to the original chart (in Post #1 of this thread) that indicates two things:

 

1. How many "credits" away from the next level you were under the old system.

2. How many "points" away from the next level you are under the new system.

 

The significant factor here is that they have created a new level, Emerald, between Platinum and Diamond. So those folks who had 5, 6 or 7 credits would formerly be striving for Diamond, but now look ahead to Emerald. Human nature what it is, I'm sure those folks are actually looking ahead to Diamond as well, so I added the required points for both levels, and for these folks, Diamond was pushed out a little farther than before.

 

Assuming a standard 7 day cruise as a "normal", for the most part (except the 5, 6 and 7 credit holders), the number of cruises required to reach the next level is the same. For those who were counting on 3/4 day cruises to build credits... well, obviously, it is.

Crdt Nxt    Pts  Nxt    Level
 1  (4) =>   8 (22) => GOLD (3 Points)
 2  (3) =>  15 (15) => GOLD
 3  (2) =>  22  (8) => GOLD
 4  (1) =>  29  (1) => GOLD
 5  (5) =>  38 (17/42) => PLATINUM (30 Points)
 6  (4) =>  45 (10/35) => PLATINUM
 7  (3) =>  52  (3/28) => PLATINUM
 8  (2) =>  69 (11) => EMERALD  (55 Points)
 9  (1) =>  76  (4) => EMERALD
10 (15) =>  83 (92) => DIAMOND  (80 Points)
11 (14) =>  90 (85) => DIAMOND
12 (13) =>  97 (78) => DIAMOND
13 (12) => 104 (71) => DIAMOND
14 (11) => 111 (64) => DIAMOND
15 (10) => 118 (57) => DIAMOND
16  (9) => 125 (50) => DIAMOND
17  (8) => 132 (43) => DIAMOND
18  (7) => 139 (36) => DIAMOND
19  (6) => 146 (29) => DIAMOND
20  (5) => 153 (22) => DIAMOND
21  (4) => 160 (15) => DIAMOND
22  (3) => 167  (8) => DIAMOND
23  (2) => 174  (1) => DIAMOND
24  (1) => 181      => DIAMOND PLUS (175 Points)

Theron, Thanks for the explanation. I thought I should have 40 cruise points based on the number of nights on previous cruises instead of 38 points I was given. I emailed Crown & Anchor but their reply only confused me. Your explanation is clear but how did you get the "magic" formula they came up with? And, I wonder how they came up with it.

 

Anyway thanks.

I'm not sure how they came up with the formula (3 parts, based on your previous credit level), but cruisenfever describes it accurately in the thread he started, and linked up at the top of this thread.

 

The conversion table came from the RCCL calculator web page. They didn't compute the conversion, they just used a table, which I cleaned up and posted in my first post.

Figures! I could almost taste me Diamond status after the cruise in 3 weeks. Dang' date=' I feel robbed! :([/quote']

 

Contact Crown and Anchor, they may make an exception for you since you were only 1 cruise away. They are granting us Diamond after our Radiance cruise next month (in a JS) even though we will only have 77 points. Of course it will take us three extra points to make D+, but thats so far away its hardly worth worrying about.

They had a two nighter on Navigator last year, just went to Nassau and back. So where would you be if that were your first cruise? :confused: Noob+?:D

Yes, nowhere. Still needing another night to make Gold.

 

:D

 

They could award three cruise points for a 2 night cruise. They mentioned adding additional cruise points could be an option for slow selling cruises, so they might do the same for the 2 nighters.

Not Patti, but here is how I did it:

 

Log in to the Crown & Anchor page on the RC website, your ribbon should be at the top left. Right click on the ribbon, and then "View Background Image", then "Save Image As" to save it to your computer. Then you can upload it to your signature.
