Platinum now....will be Emerald soon...

[time4sun]

We are currently Platinum and booked a JS on a 7 day cruise...do you receive double points for JS??? 2 days later we are booked on a 12 nt. in a GS....I'm pretty sure we get double for that?? If we become Emerald for our 7 nt., will it kick in for the 12 night...re: coupon books etc....??? Thank you...you guys are incredible!!!

The only thing that I can tell you is that there are double points for the JS as well as the other suites.

If you change status between cruises, go see the Loyalty Ambassador on board who will see that you get the proper coupon books. You should be able to get more of a balcony discount for the second cruise which (s)he will be able to help you with as well.

Ohhhh....I like your way of thinking Geri!!! Even though we're already on board???? Do tell!!

You will have completed your qualifying cruise- just the paperwork at RCI that has to catch up. The LA can do that for you as soon as you board your 12 night. Can arrange all you are entitled to- coupons, addtl discount, maybe even a pin;)

Have a great time!

It takes a week or two for the new level to kick in.

The LA can look you up onboard and see your history. When I moved to Diamond, it did not show in the system by the time I went on my first Diamond cruise. I took my previous SeaPass as proof of my cruise that hadn't "registered" yet.

did a b2b in november changed status for the second week- did get the

platinum coupon book but no discount (we were in a js)

did another b2b in feb. changed from emerald to dimand the second week-

finally got the diamond coupon book (after three trips to the crown and anchor desk) but again no discount (we were in a js)

Other than an extra 25.00 balcony discount on your next cruise, I don't think there is much difference between platinum and emerald anyway.

Unless things have changed you should get TRIPLE credits for sailing a GS on a 12-nighter. (2 for the 12 nights and 1 bonus for the suite)

 

We did in 2007. Worth checking up on...

Unfortunately they have changed, back at the start of the year.

It's per night points now but you will get double for a JS or above, so on a 12 nights in a JS or higher you will get 24 points. 7 nighter = 14 points and so on.....

We change from Platinum to Emerald after our next cruise (2 weeks to go !!) and I doubt the system will update in time for the next trip in Nov so we will take our sea passes to get Emerald booklets etc for then.

See the RCCL website below, according to this the only difference onboard between Platinum and Emerald is a fee can of soda:rolleyes:

So, compared to the old system this is even BETTER! It's the equivalent of QUADRUPLE points compared to the old system.

 

I don't know how many hundreds of postings I read where people made Diamond and Diamond Plus in only one or two years by taking tons of 3 and 4 day cruises in a Junior Suite.

 

It never seemed right than an 11-night cruise got no more credit than a 3-nighter.

 

Even without loyalty points cruises are the most fun vacations !

Ohhhh...I got very excited for a minute!!! The idea of 3 pts. a night for our GS would have made us Diamond...otherwise we are actually 3 points away after the 2nd cruise...pooh! We'll chat with the powers that be on the 2nd leg but it doesn't appear that we'll get much of a benefit anyway??? Thanks for all of the great advice!!!
