Budget Queen Posted October 7, 2014 #52 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I've been platinum for 13 years (looked up numbers) when it took 14 cruises. At that time, I frequently was the only one on board and used to get invites from the cpt and "gifts" etc. Now it is nothing special with a LOT of platinum cruisers on board. My current list has me at sailing 44 cruises with NCL, but 97 overall. :) I cruise for where they take me, at this point, and delight in the value of meals lodging and transportation all in one. :) Happy sailing everyone!!!!

don't-use-real-name Posted October 7, 2014 #53 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I will "turn" platinum on this coming cruise, which will be my 8th. Everything from OV to Haven. My only complaint is that for 5 of these cruises I have been a solo cruiser, paying double for my balcony, and only getting 7 points (and I think I should have gotten double points for my double payment -- but that's not the way it works!). I think I should have gotten double points for my double payment Clearly a very good valid point ! If you share a cabin you both get points - they are not split up or divided. I will "turn" platinum on this coming cruise This is another flawed issue turning into a higher patron category in mid cruise giving you no recognition at the moment of the event. Instead you have to wait till your next cruise for the red carpet - although I have read of folks getting perks mid-cruise when in a suite with an attentive butler or concierge hearing/noticing the accumulated cruise credits. If your patronage is truly appreciated reward it first thing when it becomes just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajones007 Posted October 7, 2014 #56 Share Posted October 7, 2014 My wife and I will turn platinum on our Nov cruise on the Star. We will have done it in 4 NCL cruises, all in suites, and all with some sort of bonus points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalma'am Posted October 7, 2014 #57 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I think it took us 7 cruises to reach Platinum. We have sailed in insides, oceanviews, balconies, and suites. We have done last minute cruises and booked > 9 months out. This next cruise will be my first as a Platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedj6050 Posted October 7, 2014 #58 Share Posted October 7, 2014 It will take me one more cruise for a total of seven to get to platinum.now that I always have a cruise reward in the bank,I find it easier to plan and book farther in advance.my cruises have all been seven day sailings.

biker@sea Posted October 7, 2014 #59 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I think it took 4 years and 11 cruises . :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tymike Posted October 7, 2014 #60 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I will be platinum after (or possibly during) next summer's cruise on the Pearl. I've sailed NCL four times, three of which were booked over nine months in advance, and in suites. P.S. In response to this thread's tidbits regarding a class system etc. ..... I think that everyone who is able to and does go on a cruise regardless of how is a very lucky person!! No matter their point status', stateroom or anything else! :) I am forever thankful for the luxury of cruising! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT Trips Posted October 8, 2014 #61 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Two, under the old system. On our second cruise on of the perqs of the future cruise credit, in addition to the obc, was platinum for the remainder of the cruise. As luck would have it they never removed it from DW's Latitudes account. :) I finally caught up to her when the switched to the new system. I think I had seven cruises at the time.
