VibeGuy Posted September 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So I'm guessing an Atlantis charter doesn't count as a sailing for the purposes of loyalty program point accrual, but what about OBC for shareholders or top tier elites? Anyone experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted September 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Unless I am mis-rembering, our Atlanyos cruise on X years ago earned us points in their loyalty program, but we did not recieve whatever the benefits (strawberries?) of our loyalty level like we would have on a non-charter.

Darrell6t Posted September 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't know about the shareholder things, but we got full credit from HAL for the RSVP cruises we have taken on HAL ships. And also from RCCL for an Atlantis cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted September 13, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Interesting. So do you get a regular booking number? We're up to the $50 loyalty credit level and I hold CUK ADRs, so all up, $150 is $150. But the laundry and internet perks are way more valuable, and I guess I'd assumed they wouldn't be extended on full-ship charters. Perhaps they are. Thanks!

Roy&Adrian Posted September 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2014 We received Captain's Club points from our Celebrity Med cruise with Atlantis (taking us up to Elite), but RCCL do not give shareholder perks for charter cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSnow789 Posted September 19, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2014 for RCI and Celebrity, You do get full credit for the cruise and you do have access to the onboard lounges and amenities depending on the ship and your level in the program. You no longer get the shareholder OBC though. Hope that helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnatello Posted September 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) And does anyone know...if you are a veteran and going on an RSVP or Atlantis charter cruise on Princess, do you get the Veteran OBC that Princess gives?

HotlantaCruiser Posted October 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) However, we have had to fight the onboard reps to contact home office to get them. It's just a lack of communication, but it's been problematic on at least 2 Celebrity ships to get "credit" for the sailing. One time we even had the charter rep from Celebrity tear new assh@les to the people in Miami. She was quite absolute about us getting our credits and was irate (with head office) that she had to even pursue the issue. We've also had to ask for the coupon book on at least one sailing, on others, it was in the room upon arrival. do NOT Take the word of the (usually unhelpful persons in) Future Cruise signups, if you can even find her. Most worthless people I have ever encountered on a cruise ship. Go straight to the full group charter's Cruise Line Rep. (There is always one) and explain what your concern is. :) Years ago on NCL, it was absolutely written in stone that full boat charters didn't qualify for Latitudes credit. Even had the wench on the Dawn tell us she wouldn't give us the damn lapel pin for that vessel. I looked her in the eye and said are they that expensive? She said no they were free to non charter guests of course. I asked her again if they were expensive, as expensive as the Satellite call I was about to make to Miami. She promptly gave up two pins. (haven't cared for NCL since then) Edited October 20, 2014 by HotlantaCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
