agreenway6 Posted February 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I am currently a Red member (with 24 days at sea). I'm sailing on the Paradise out of Tampa on March the 14th. I'm one point/day away from being a Gold member. My question is this: when I board the ship, will I still be considered a Red member for the duration of my cruise, and be upgraded to Gold AFTER? Or will I be upgraded to Gold for this cruise since while I'm on it I'll get my 25th day at sea? The reason I'm asking this is because whenever I booked it through my TA, the confirmation email she sent had me designated as Gold. Any info would be helpful!

WindsorFred Posted February 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You will be Gold from the first day. Congrats and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired_to_Cruise Posted February 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You get the new status on the cruise that you will get the right number of days, even if you hit the right number on the last day of the cruise, you will be gold on the whole cruise.

happy traveler69 Posted February 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2016 what are the differences in perks between red and gold? I think I'll have the same situation when I get on the sunshine later this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelonqueen99 Posted February 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) We sailed on the Freedom last month, and didn't technically turn Gold until night 4, but we received a Gold card at check-in. Have a great cruise. Edited February 14, 2016 by watermelonqueen99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll have the same situation when I get on the sunshine later this year As a Gold member, you'll get a certificate for a free drink that you can use on the last night of the cruise, after 5 pm, and you will also receive a pin. You'll get these on every sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohlerbear Posted February 15, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I believe the priority boarding is only for platinum and diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohlerbear Posted February 15, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yeah I see it now. I thought this was directed to the op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeyoreme Posted February 17, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Similar question as OP, but what if the 25th day is the 1st day of a cruise booked with a casino bounce-back offer? Will Gold status start, or will status remain Red because only taxes and fees were paid and not cruise fare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
