pcakes122 Posted April 8, 2020 #3326 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The last time I cruised with Royal was January 2019, and I never even booked my "annual" cruise (that was supposed to be taken by 3/31/20), so I was scheduled to lose all my casino status on 3/31/20. Will my old status now be extended?? I noticed on my offer page that my "annual" cruise benefit (which I would have lost) now has an expiration date of 3/31/21 - but what about my tier status?

I received an email an hour ago from Club Royale indicating that everyone’s 2019-2020 club status is being extended until March 31, 2022 and also if your 2019 “free” cruise was cancelled or if you were otherwise unable to take it, it has been extended until March 31, 2021. So you should be able to book your free Prime Cruise plus keep your Prime status until 2022. Pretty awesome ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was Signature until March 31, 2020 and was about 2,000 short of Signature for the upcoming year. So the way I read it, I get to stay at Signature for two years. Hope that is correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people like some above that did not cruise at all last year and BINGO they are rewarded. I did push myself to maintain my level and now it was for nothing. 😤😤 Don’t you get to keep it for two years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO tier benefit worth that (not even a "free" cruise) and it plays right into the marketing strategy of the casinos who only want your money (and could care less about you.) I LOVE to gamble and I play and enjoy it. Until I've had enough. I could care less what my tier level is (especially with Royal who - in comparison - to other cruise lines - doesn't even have good perks.) Don't get caught up in the points game, it's a losing bet.

texasreb Posted April 10, 2020 #3333 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My wife had an offer code 20RBO104. I am sure that was inside. What I don't know is the FREE PLAY amount. Does anyone here have that ? Also to actually get your FREE PLAY while on the ship. Does it have to show on the reservation confirmation ? I called into Casino Royale about 7 30PM CDT and got an answer, but line disconnected. Phoned in again, and got a person for booking a new cruise. Line/conversation was awful for 5 minutes. Then the internet digital packet loss and delay cleared up. I got one cruise booked.

texasreb Posted April 10, 2020 #3334 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Has Casino Royale loaded the earned cruise offers yet ? I don't see my cancelled March 29 Prime or 2020. Same for my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any free play with your offer it will be a line item on you booking invoice under cruise fare and be something like this TBB8-FP100 hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted April 10, 2020 #3338 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I just booked using the summer offer (Symphony in August). The Agent told me that since we combined mine and my husband’s offers (each had $150 free play) that would get $300 in free play. The line TBB-FP has 150. Ugh. I sent her an email to look into it. She was the one who confirmed we would both get the free play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through wife's email dated April 8. I found the notice about casino levels being extended. I never got that email. Between offers and emails. Getting some, not getting others. It is hard to keep this stuff straight. Thanks Gayle and Happy Easter, Good Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasreb Posted April 16, 2020 #3342 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Another month lost. yet another cancel for me. I did get through to the casino no problem today. However Miami announced yesterday a 26% layoff in reservations. Our Prime etc for 2020 have not been loaded. Should be mid-May. Then the bad news : Our most recent plan was to resume some operation May 12, 2020. However, after consulting with our partners at Cruise Lines International Association and in conjunction with the CDC, our global suspension has been extended another month. Unfortunately, all sailings departing on and before June 11th, 2020 will be cancelled, and we plan to resume operation on June 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, all sailings departing on and before June 11th, 2020 will be cancelled, and we plan to resume operation on June 12th. The 30 days to June 11th was pretty much a forgone conclusion. RCCL indicated they are going 30 days at a time. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one or likely two more 30 day periods that will take us into July or August. They are still dealing with CDC travel bans and restrictions and it could take at least two weeks or more to restaff the ships with crew members who are by now scattered all over the world and possibly limited as to their ability to travel. The entire situation is a big mess that won't be fixed overnight. I'm betting I will see Vegas or a different land casino long before I am back onboard a ship. And then there is the issue of getting a doctor to sign a "fit to travel" letter if you are 70 or over. Not many doctors will want to sign and take on the potential liability if you were to get sick onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasreb Posted April 17, 2020 #3345 Share Posted April 17, 2020 My doctor signed our letters in March. It was not an issue with him. In my case, I am not yet drugged. With cancellation of my end of May cruise. Plus waiting on CC credit for 3 other cruises. Plus 3 still booked. Not sure I will book any for a while. This end of May cancellation looks like another refund request. I also wonder if air travel will have to resume before they can do any sailings ? Just a casual observation on travel. Most folks out of Galveston do drive. I know as far away as Missouri. Yet some do have to fly. I have met them too. It sure is strange to track those ships of all lines just parked in the Gulf, usually off Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasreb Posted April 18, 2020 #3346 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I don't know about the Casino group. I phoned in today to change the cancelled May 23 to to June 20. Same everything. They would not do it. It seems strange to me. Said I no longer had a "good offer". Do I need a "good offer" for a sailing you cancelled ? So now I am up to 4 refunds they owe me. I am not getting a good vibe over this mess. I further inquired about the cancelled March prime cruise. Jon Wamba had previouly said FP or OBC would added to those re-issued offers. The rep said nothing was added to the cancelled prime cruise offer, but offer is in system. The 2020 perks have not been loaded yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do recall you saying that previously. Bummer. I did get a cert on my January cruise. I booked it as far out as I could which was Oct 25. The wife and I just discussed this a few days ago wanting to change date to Nov. 1. I phoned in about that yesterday. NOPE same everything but 1 week later. NOPE. So for now I still have that Oct sailing booked, and 2 others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasreb Posted April 18, 2020 #3349 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I got a new offer emailed to me. 20CCS104. Does anyone have any details on this ? I think it is a sailing to CoCo Cay. I phoned Club Royale 2 hours ago. Some bull from Jamaica that the reps can not email the offer to the customer without supervisor approval. I waited on hold. The rep comes back and said supervisor would email the details in 10 mins. 2 hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
