ace1zoe2 Posted December 4, 2013 #26 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Congrats from us, too! We also just made Diamond after our last cruise. Can't wait for our Feb 2014 cruise aboard Navigator of the Seas first cruise after dry dock to celebrate my 50th birthday! Looking forward to trying out the Diamond lounge to see what all the fuss is about. It was also nice to call in & have our balcony discount on the Oct 2014 Med cruise increased from the Emerald discount that was previously applied to the Diamond discount. Who knows, maybe some day we may have the chance to meet in person in the DL & have a drink on RCI :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxHadleyxx Posted December 4, 2013 #27 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Congratulations! (and, yeah, it looks to me like you have sailed on lots of different ship classes to many different ports--and, more importantly, you are happy with your vacations, so I really can't imagine what the early poster is talking about saying you have been on basically the same cruise over and over again :confused: ).

Mothballs Posted December 4, 2013 #28 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I am cruising a B2B in 2015.Unless something changes we will go from Emerald to Diamond during the first cruise. I know it takes a while for the points to be processed but do we miss out on Diamond status for the second cruise? Regards Elaine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Loyalty Ambassador should be able to give you the Diamond perks (except for the higher balcony discount) on the second cruise. Visit the LA during the first cruise and mention your upcoming level change. Edited December 5, 2013 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisenanny Posted December 5, 2013 #31 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) OP congratulations on earning Diamond level for your loyalty to Royal!! We have been on a lot of cruises but have tried so many different lines that we are middle of the pack at best as far as our loyalty status is concerned. My parents are Diamond with Royal, so Elite with X as well. They RAVE about the lounge, internet time and so many other perks that we have decided to commit to Royal until we get to Diamond, why not? Their ships are fantastic!! Having tried 5 or 6 other mainstream lines, we can truly say that there are more similarities than differences between ALL of the lines. (Don't really know what one particular poster is talking about other than trying to ruin someone else's joy....)

Big_G Posted December 5, 2013 #32 Share Posted December 5, 2013 isn't it a great feeling to move up a level - I agree give celebrity a go as you are auto Elite status cul quotation a quibus abstinendum:D Come on, you know you want to.

B-52 Posted December 5, 2013 #33 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Moving up through the C&A tiers, to us, was not that big of deal.... Being on a cruise now, is not that different C&A wise than our first cruise.... Nothing to get excited about...otherwise they have you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eng23 Posted December 5, 2013 #35 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Don't forget that as Diamond from 1st January you may get three drink vouchers per day [5 to 7 pm only] but not the DL, if the rumors are correct. ;) As a Diamond member he will have access to the Diamond Lounge. The coupons are being given as a way to hopefully control the number of people trying to use the DL during the so called "Happy Hours". There is hope that by giving out these coupons to use at other bars onboard it will keep the DL from becoming overcrowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told by RC to see the Ambassador on the first leg of our B2B and we will be Diamond on the second leg. They also said we would get an OBC for the diamond balcony discount we weren't able to appt when we booked. I hope they are right. I'll find out in a month.

That's a pretty good deal to get OBC for the balcony discount due to being on a B2B. I hope it works out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our next cruise is in May on Explorer which unfortunately doesn't have a diamond lounge but they do hold a diamond event.

Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2 I'll take a wild guess that your Diamond Event might be in the Viking Crown. I've never been on the Explorer but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The post I replied to inferred that if you were on a ship with a Diamond Lounge you would not have access to it and in lieu of that you get drink coupons. As I undestand all Diamond members will get the coupons to use and still have DL access. Edited December 5, 2013 by Eng23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning Emerald after the first leg of our B2B in December. We were told by RC to stop by guest services and hey would be able to give us the higher balcony discount for our second leg.
