SeasTheDay12 Posted October 12, 2013 #401 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Anyone who really understands this - please answer this for me??? I am traveling solo in a suite on Oasis for 7 days - So do I get double points for solo, and double points for suite = 28 points? Thanks:confused: Debra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisesOnMyMind Posted October 12, 2013 #402 Share Posted October 12, 2013 RCI created the new monster, not the people out there enjoying their cruise. Bottom line.....all comes back to D, D+ and CL adjustments have to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeasTheDay12 Posted October 12, 2013 #404 Share Posted October 12, 2013 You would get 21 points. double for solo and 7 more for being in a JS. Thanks - but not a JS....it's a Crown Loft Suite - and prior suites have always been double points? I'm so confused! I DO always pay double, so from my perspective, it is fair if I am paying for two people..... So still 21? or 28? THANKS! Debra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh...nothing to sneeze at! Definitely nothing to sneeze at!!! LOL:p My Brilliance of the Seas cruises were in GS - for GS I got double points. Crown Loft is higher than GS - so I thought it would be the same point value. Wouldn't it be GREAT if they would issue details of the point system somewhere? I guess I can always call them, but I often find that you can get two different answers depending who answers the phone....:D Either way - it will help get me to Diamond +! Thanks again for your help! Debra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just so happens to be double if you start at one point per night, but the rule is 1 extra point, not double points. This is significant for events like Diamonds in December when another extra point per night was added, making it a total of 3 points per night. A long way of saying 21, not 28.

Cuizer2 Posted October 12, 2013 #409 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Anyone who really understands this - please answer this for me??? I am traveling solo in a suite on Oasis for 7 days - So do I get double points for solo, and double points for suite = 28 points? Thanks:confused: Debra Solo cruisers do not get double points - they get one extra point per night. So, you get two points per night for being in a suite plus an extra point per night for being there all by yourself. Total points earned = 21.

Cuizer2 Posted October 12, 2013 #410 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Actually many solo cruisers will eventually have a significant other. That person will automatically gain the status of their new partner/spouse and may not have even been on a cruise. But I don't have an issue with it. RCI can deal with any potential problem they are creating. I just think it would be nice if RCI stuck with a program for a while. The constant changes are hard to keep up with. I used to know the credits needed for each level. I just can't keep the high numbers of points straight anymore. 700 for PC is easy enough but I have no idea what points are needed for any of the other levels. Gina Gold is 3 to 29 points Platinum is 30 to 54 points Emerald is 55 to 79 points Diamond is 80 to 174 points Diamond Plus is 175 to 699 points Pinnacle is 700 and up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted October 12, 2013 #411 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I would almost make you a bet that this is going to happen. Some of the point chasers out there are going to find cruises with a real low single supplement charge and book a room for each person just for the points. Good for them. I book based on the ship and the itinerary, not based on the number of points I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisesOnMyMind Posted October 12, 2013 #412 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Good for them. I book based on the ship and the itinerary, not based on the number of points I can get. Directed at RETNAVY1966... It was my understanding that if a person booked more than one cabin on the same cruise, they would still only get credit for one cabin.

kek17 Posted October 12, 2013 #413 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thank you MM for the great news about the extra points for traveling solo. I have always fought this battle with RCCL and have included it on any comment card. While I have reached Diamond Plus status and it is along way off to the next level, any point will help in the future. Can we get RCCL send us the upgrade fairy next for our future cruises. Your advise on these boards have been wonderful. Thank you for this information. kek17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maureencruiser Posted October 12, 2013 #415 Share Posted October 12, 2013 This is why I'm opposed to it. Not that in the end I really care. Gina Hmmm....for someone who doesn't care, you have posted 28 times in this thread. And a few times in another thread about the same topic. I am sorry that my extra 7 points are so offensive to you. I will call RC and see if they can be removed. By the way, you can't be opposed to something and not care about it at the same time. Have a nice day.

Virtopia Posted October 12, 2013 #416 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) I thought I was reading it wrong on the Crown and Anchor website when I was given 14 points for my Jewel cruise. That bumped me from Platinum to Emerald!! Whooo hooo! :D I'm looking forward to the 16 points for my Explorer cruise. This is a reason to keep cruising alone. Thanks RCCL! :D Edited October 12, 2013 by Virtopia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINEVIEW01 Posted October 12, 2013 #417 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think that it is great! I just wish that they would apply it retroactively! ;) (they're not) :D Me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted October 12, 2013 Author #418 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Was on Brilliance 9/28/13 , C& A points posted today 10/11/13 did not post as double . There appears to be no rhyme or reason. Will be calling C&A tomorrow. I am sure that you will be successful. But please report your result. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINEVIEW01 Posted October 12, 2013 #419 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Now I can leave DH home so I can get double:D I too would love to have it retro as I have several solos-19 more points to make up for not having DiD this year Edited October 12, 2013 by PINEVIEW01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagsalong Posted October 12, 2013 #420 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Point chasers can buy 4 extra credits/points, as of this moment, for just $28. The Enchantment Nov 4th sailing went on-sale this morning to $119 double occupancy, $133 single. A couple getting two rooms will pay $409.91 vs $381.91 for a single room. Plus we would get double amenities as Diamond plus, ie. four beers, two snack baskets, two wines. Too bad we are already booked on the Freedom that week or else we would have jumped all over this one. I came back to edit that I forgot: depending on your moral and ethical persuasions, the gratuity amount will be higher with two rooms.

That would be 12 extra points if your talking a couple that normally gets 1 cabin...... 2 cabins, 2 solo's. 8 credits for each person. That's if RCL will give spouses or people in the same household the extra points. As I understand it, when a family is reserving cabins for their kids they do not get the extra points just because they booked 2 or more cabins.

As I understand it, when a family is reserving cabins for their kids they do not get the extra points just because they booked 2 or more cabins. Not quite sure I understand your math, but it´s 4 extra Points per person. 1 cabin as double = 4 Points per person 2 cabins as single = 8 Points per Person While it´s 8 extra Points between the two that´s really quite irrelevant, as there´s no combining on Points.
