Austcruiser84 Posted April 5, 2014 #26 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The awarding of the loyalty on WC is inconsistent. I was silver on embarkation this voyage and completed one part sector then another complete sector. No upgrade to Gold. Another group who'd never travelled with Cunard before, completed the same first sector I did, then the next one (as did I) and were awarded their Gold pins onboard. :( If you booked the entire trip under one booking (even if the cruise is two or more segments) then they only count number of days rather than segments. Some people book multiple segments separately. For example: I booked a Caribbean Celebration voyage of 19 nights in 2012/13 - it consisted of 12 nights to the Caribbean and a 7 night transatlantic. They counted it by days rather than by segment as I booked as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenndale Posted April 5, 2014 #27 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It would be far simpler and fairer if the loyalty grade was based solely on the number of days cruised with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlueRiband Posted April 5, 2014 #28 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It would be far simpler and fairer if the loyalty grade was based solely on the number of days cruised with them. Agreed. Under the current structure a passenger could, in throry, reach Diamond level after taking 16 two night "short break" trips. One who booked a thirty two night voyage would still be at Gold. The only reason I can see for counting voyages would be inducement to get repeat passengers early on. Go on your second ever Cunard voyage ant it's remembered that you sailed with them before.

Midsomer Madness Posted April 5, 2014 #29 Share Posted April 5, 2014 But surely a person who has done 7 cruises of whatever length is more loyal to the brand than someone who has only done 1 cruise albeit of the same length. P&o do theirs on nights on board and you can do one world cruise and be top level but that doesn't exactly show any loyalty does it? I often think it should be done on on board spend, sure we would be top level on both lines, judging by our bar bills ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'm taking a short 2 night voyage on QM2 days before a 2 week cruise on QE. It will mean I'm gold for the QE. However, this is merely a nice benefit since it isn't the reason I decided on the 2 nighter. By July I'll have 35 days with Cunard since Dec 2012. With luck, I'll have many more days to come.

Anyone taking 16 two night trips deserves to be Diamond. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
