freedom1114 Posted June 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Will it happen this year? When is it usually announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbur Posted June 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I hope it does - in the past it's been in August when they announce it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinSuz Posted June 12, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I, too, am hoping for the info since we've booked our first ever B2B. Sailing one week with one group of friends, and the second with a different group of friends, so the Diamond bonus, will be a great Bonus in addition!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullyair Posted June 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I hope to find out soon. I missed it last year. I've booked a December GS room this December and will probably cancel if they don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzerci Posted June 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I hope so, that's why we picked this cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLME Posted June 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Diamonds in December is a special promotion that gives you double cruise points, more I think if you book a Suite. It's great if you are trying to get to the next level. We are booked on Allure in early Dec and then Monarch for NYE, it will be our 3rd time ringing in the NY on Monarch. I hear she will be sold in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullyair Posted June 15, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Last year Royal had Diamonds in December. For it's diamond members and higher, they offered double points for standard rooms and triple points for suites in december. I think they also had other perks. I missed it last year but I won't this year. A pretty smart promotion to keep ships full in a normally slow period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only Emerald and won't be diamond until next summer so it looks like I have to wait until next year. I hope they have it again. Sounds like a fantastic promotion.

sullyair Posted June 15, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 15, 2012 you have to sail in december to take advantage?? Correct. Great motivation for me -- I'm close to D+. Can you imagine a better time to get out of Buffalo, NY with my wife for a cruise than December??? I guess I'll have to get someone to plow my driveway before I get home if they do diamonds in december this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted June 15, 2012 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2012 They'll give you double points on a cruise that you already booked for December? When is the announcement expected? Yeah. Existing bookings are included, but you have to already be Diamond or higher to take advantage. We booked our December 2011 cruise in January and got double points.

CruiseLover15 Posted June 15, 2012 #14 Share Posted June 15, 2012 On my cruise last December the LA said D in Dec would happen this December as well and they were heavily advertising the 8 day Independence cruise this December. I asked before I booked it. Hopefully she was talking from knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeighAnchor Posted June 15, 2012 #15 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The Diamond Celebration is a great way to rack up cruise points. We have already booked a December cruise in anticipation that they will offer the deal again. If not, well, we'll still have a wonderful time, as always! Last year, DW and I did an 18 night Mediterranean cruise. We got 36 points which put us into Diamond Plus. The Diamond (or higher) in GS (or higher) got 54 points. That's a lot for one cruise!

MindyJohn Posted June 15, 2012 #16 Share Posted June 15, 2012 We got off Voyager on May 26 and made a point to ask the C&A Director onboard whether she knew if Diamonds in December was going to happen this year. She said YES :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temple1 Posted June 15, 2012 #17 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yahoo! I forgot all about it, this is our first December cruise since moving up to Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABCHICK Posted June 15, 2012 #18 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I was told by C&A that the announcement will be made in Aug. if they have it this year. Judi :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindyJohn Posted June 15, 2012 #19 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yeah, you always kind of wonder if people really know what they tell you, so I'll be watching for something more official like everyone else ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not2old Posted June 15, 2012 #20 Share Posted June 15, 2012 We were told that when we booked our JS for our 10 night caribbean cruise we would receive 30! points during the Diamonds in Dec event. Should we believe the Loyalty Ambassador person who booked our cruise onboard for us? This would make us Diamond Plus after this cruise if it is true! Our cruise is Dec 13-22 2012. Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan007 Posted June 15, 2012 #21 Share Posted June 15, 2012 you have to sail in december to take advantage?? Last year, our cruise started in late November, and ended in December, and we got the double points. Pretty good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindyJohn Posted June 15, 2012 #22 Share Posted June 15, 2012 you have to sail in december to take advantage?? The C&A Director we spoke with said you'd get the double (or triple for Suites) points as long as the majority of the cruise was in December.
