leisuretraveler223 Posted February 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I just looked at my C&A points, and I received 8 points for my solo 4-day in a suite on Liberty 2 weeks ago. I am of the impression that I should get 12: 4 plus 4 more for suite and 4 more for solo. Has anyone had any experience with this? are the extra solo points added later?

Ken at the beach Posted February 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) I would call C&A and inquire. As far as I have heard you should have received 12 points. Edited February 3, 2014 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted February 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2014 you need to call C & A as the system (and they admit it) isn't programmed right to give double points for solo cruising. I had to call in December to get mine. What you got basically was the double points for being in a suite. So call, and the C & A desk will send an email requesting the correction, it will take about 3-7 days, depending on how busy they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhsaltshaker Posted February 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi, Does anyone have a link for the solo credits? I have spent half the day checking their website/Crown and Anchor/etc. looking and have only found solo's get credit x 2. Thanks in advance.

Nhsaltshaker Posted February 4, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Go down to "Additional Benefits" then read footnote 14. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/cas/benefitsLoggedout.do Thanks...the "and/or" is confusing me. :) Which is why I never became a lawyer. 14 One Cruise Point for each completed night of sailing and an extra Cruise Point per night when you purchase and sail in suite accommodations (categories RL, RS, PS, SL, TS, A1, A2, A3, CL, OS, FS, GS, JS) and/or sail in any category and pay a single pricing type for double occupancy staterooms. All other rates including Travel Agent rates, as well category SI and SB, are excluded from single price type extra point promotion. Cruisetours are included as an additional night per each day on the cruise tour. Points will be awarded by rate paid not rate berthed, for example, in the instance of an upgrade from an outside to a suite category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else here seems to think I should receive 12 credits. Why are you congratulating me for 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so all of that's sort of like the Bible of C&A and subject to interpretation. But we really know what it means deep down inside. ;) All I know is if you call C&A and tell them you didn't get your bonus point, they will apply it immediately if you get the person with the ability to change it, or they will send an email to her and it will be changed within 48 hours, probably less. I know this from experience. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted February 4, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Huh? Everyone else here seems to think I should receive 12 credits. Why are you congratulating me for 8? I think you misunderstood me. I did not say how many extra points you should get because you cruised in a Jr. Suite or above. All I said was that it is nice that Royal Caribbean is finally giving "extra" points for the solo traveler. I in no way said that you should get less points than you paid for.

Nhsaltshaker Posted February 4, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) In 2012 and 2013, I cruised solo in a Junior Suite both times and received two points per night. That was the rule back then, I was just hoping they changed it to three per night, solo, JS. Edited February 4, 2014 by Nhsaltshaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not your intent, but it's hard to measure tone in written words. If you were to read a sarcastic tone into what you wrote, I can see how the OP might have misunderstood you.

I think...but sometimes it takes a bit of effort to actually get the "3rd" point credited...calling C&A usually takes care of the problem...

I cruised solo in a JS in Oct. and Nov. The 3 points per night were applied to my account about a week after each sailing. Unfortunately, the extra points aren't retroactive;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annefran Posted February 4, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 4, 2014 This is great news for me. I'm doing my first solo cruise this May on Oasis of the Seas in a JS for 7 nights. I guess that means I will get 21 for my cruise is that the right interpretation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
