New Captains Club Level

[diligaf51]

I do not have any definitive specifics but did speak with a Captains Club rep on another topic a couple of days ago and asked for any update. She said that there were ongoing discussions on a new level now and thought an announcement could be made as early as the first of the year. I have 27 credits and the rep said that the new level "will be to your benefit".

[cruisestitch]

But did they say which year? We have heard such things before, but no announcement has been forthcoming.....

Ongoing discussions - yes there have been. In fact the President of Celebrity said there would be forthcoming changes in 2009 - see the 13th paragraph of the 2009 press release at:

However, seeing that they've been talking about this for almost 5 years now I wouldn't hold my breath.

27 credits, is that actual Days or actual Cruises?;)

 

Any mention of the cull of Elites?

[cruisestitch]

27 credits does not correlate to either actual days or actual cruises.

Just for all at CC -

With 27 Credits (392 days) one is safe from a potential cull?

Then possibly below 392 days one is at risk of an Elite cull.;)

Ha Ha Ha Ha:)

 

It would be even more funny if not true.:eek:

Had to think about that for a minute.....you're right!

392 days sailing Celebrity should be way more the 27 captains club points. even sailing 11 night cruise using an inside cabin 392 days would be 35 CC points. And you would be hard pressed to find that many 11 night cruises

 

I would think it reasonable for anyone sailing 392 nights on celebrity to have 75 points as a minimum, and probably closer to 100 or more. :)

We currenly have 27 Captain's Club points and we have 174 days sailed on Celebrity. Most of our 16 Celebrity cruises have been in Inside Cabins, except for 3 which have been in Conceirge Class.

 

So no where near 392.

[Orator]

Think that the OP meant "points" rather than "credits". 1 point for taking a cruise. 1 point if the cruise is 12 days or longer. 1 point for Concierge or higher. Could be as few as 9 cruises. Could be 108 days or less if each cruise was 12 days in Concierge. Could be even fewer days if the cruises were of the 2-5 day variety.

I will no longer comment on these rumors that are merely speculative. I've said everything I could possibly say on the massive number of threads on this topic.

My favorite comment! They've been futzing with this for 5 years now, we don't want them to rush into anything.

[PORT ROYAL]

How can anyone draw a conclusion on what the cutoffs will be on a program that not only hasn't been announced but which we don't even know if it is in more than an internal discussion stage?

Of course it could, my Maths says that 3x9 = 27.

 

1 credit for a cruise

2 for cruises over 12 days

1 extra point on top of 2 points if you sail in C.C.

I suspect however that the 27 has been made up of a combination of the above.

Thank you for this -

Does anybody know how 392 days equates to 27 credits/points?:confused:

[maggie.1008]

I have 35 tier points/ credits and 189 days at sea on Celebrity. Not sure where we would fall.

If 27 equals Elite, the with 35 you could be on/about the new Club level being mooted as VIP! - ;)

I came away with the impression that the cutoff will be less than 27. She was referencing this coming year for the announcement. Please don't kill the messenger.

Why should it? It seems there is some serious obfuscation here. To the best I can figure you are mixing posts by different posters here.

 

Dilagaf has 27 credits

 

Cruisestitch has 392 days on Celebrity.

 

What does one have to do with the other?

 

Please explain to me if I've missed something here, as I admit it's a bit confusing.

Sorry if you were offended - Must say a thank you, as all at CC now have an indication that on/about 27 credits will equate to either retaining Elite status or being inducted into the new VIP level.:)

 

Wonder what the new benefits will be?

Nothing in the original post can lead you know or assume anything about Elite status.

#1. Onboard math course to enable points vs days and inside's vs Concierge to be calculated properly in the complicated "NEW" VIP program. ETA 2020.

LOL - As early as that!:D - And for suite differentials?;)
