travelgoddess1 Posted April 5, 2016 #1301 Share Posted April 5, 2016 No special web address, just use Royal's website logged in so it knows you are a C&A member. Good information, but it doesn't give you any more priority to new itineraries than a first-time cruiser would have. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 5, 2016 #1302 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Is it just me, or is it harder and harder to be loyal to Royal. The number of times they are changing itineraries, bumping people because they can charter a whole ship, etc. or is this commonplace on all cruise lines? Not just you, we are seriously looking at a number of alternatives to Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted April 5, 2016 #1304 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I agree, the priority thing seems to have gone away in the last few years. And just to pour salt in the wound they send out millions of emails telling people that they have exclusive 24 hour advance booking capabilities- not nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably taking space away from others with no discounts, OBC, etc. We are lower profit margin guests, and the management is laser focused on that profit margin now, at the expense of long term customers.

champagne123 Posted April 5, 2016 #1307 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Come to Celebrity. It's fabulous over here :D I have only been on one X, the Summit and we loved every minute of it. Looking into the Reflection or the Summit again. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted April 5, 2016 #1308 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Come to Celebrity. It's fabulous over here :D Still disappointed Celebrity didn't grab the Saturday slot at T1 in PC. BTW, now that NCL is here, the garage is full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'm old enough for HAL :eek: (just kidding) Princess is great. I figured I'd make Elite about the same time I make D+ on Royal. Now I figure Elite is going to come a LOT faster. Royal just isn't keeping me interested. The balcony discount has become a joke with all the "sales" that can't be combined with the discount. What's the point of even having a loyalty program when you keep removing the perks. :confused: Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Edited April 5, 2016 by Cruzin-K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherFx Posted April 5, 2016 #1317 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Are you seeing any RCI ship with Quebec in the itinerary? As far as I can tell, no RCI Ships. Grandeur, Serenade and Anthem are not, only as far as Halifax and St Johns. FWIW, Celebrity Summit does go to Quebec. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
