curry767 Posted August 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2015 First RCI cruise, booked online for a inside cabin with a double double upgrade to balcony stateroom. Assigned deck 8 on Radiance and I have VIP printed on my Luggage Tags. I've searched high and low and cannot find what this 'VIP' means. Thoughts?

Aside from that, the line may see you as a real VIP, hence the upgrades. Are you by chance, a gamer? Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curry767 Posted August 11, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not sailing out of Vancouver. The double upgrade was package that was offered for sale, hence the reason for booking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you ARE a VIP then. Congratulations. Let us know if they strew rose petals in your path when you arrive at the pier. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted August 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I am sailing out of Vancouver and the code is YVR. Never seen the VIP and the red section like that on a luggage tag. Make sure you come back and tell us if you do get any VIP benefits, whatever they are. Good luck!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curry767 Posted August 11, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I guess I should try my luck with a priority checkin lane then. Any suggestions as to which? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted August 11, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I guess I should try my luck with a priority checkin lane then. Any suggestions as to which? This is too easy, use the VIP lane. :p :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbon2 Posted August 11, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just checked my tags for our Liberty cruise at the end of August. My tag says...... RS. Regular Schlepper, Sorry, I couldn't resist. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mystery is getting more intriguing. I thought for sure someone who know the answer this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curry767 Posted August 11, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Have you called RCI to ask? My dealings with RCI on the phone have given me the impression they don't know the difference between a plane and a cruise ship. From Australia I think we get redirected to the call centre in the Philippines. Maybe that is it, I'm Australian, thus VIP. Maybe that should really read VVIP! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timtam2 Posted August 11, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hi, I had the red VIP on our luggage tags for a Solstice cruise 2 years ago. The only unusual thing about that cruise was that we received a complimentary upgrade from an inside cabin to a Concierge Class cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigb99 Posted August 11, 2015 #24 Share Posted August 11, 2015 In 2008 one entire side of my family (about 60 strong) went on a family reunion cruise on LOS. My uncle's credit card was used for the bookings and he also had a big red VIP on his bag tag. It didn't look exactly like yours though, the VIP was more prominent. There weren't really any tangible benefits. Have you booked for a large group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
