british betty Posted October 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I've just checked our "status" and we are 2 points away from Elite Plus :D Our next cruise is (our first) on Royal Caribbean. Will we gain any points from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted October 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2016 No. Your status is matched, but you don't earn X points on RCI and vice versa. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted October 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Congrats for reaching Elite Plus (or almost reaching it)! That's quite an accomplishment! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare villauk Posted October 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Ensure you register with Crown & Anchor and you will enter at Diamond level. Unfortunately (for us anyway :)) you accumulate points separately, so you'll start from scratch on Royal with points. Presently, you can't go any higher than Diamond with your reciprocal status from X ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocobakerchica Posted October 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Oh well, I guess you'll have to suffer though another cruise to get to Elite Plus, poor you! ;):D Congrats on nearly getting there, OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggertastic Posted October 17, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Yep we too are a couple of points away, we should have planned a bit better on a past cruise. We will get it next time Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the net gain would be an extra 110 minutes of internet each, and we get by fine with the 90 minutes each, especially now that the speed is better.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrady Posted October 18, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 18, 2016 We are E+ - - going from 300 points to 750 points is is quite a bit but isn't worth anything. I agree with ORV - we get the beverage package & 90 minutes of internet already & get free WiFi in every port. Several of the other perks listed are also for Elite except for the extra bag of laundry - really?? Four bags is a lot of laundry for 2 people especially if you are on a 7 night cruise. You would think X would come up with something a little more meaningful when you more than double the Elite points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bloody Mary and mimosa in the morning and the free drinks every night keep us from spending money on their overpriced drinks. The free cappuccinos also works for us. The 200 minutes per person, is almost like having unlimited internet. We also take longer cruises so the two free bags of laundry allows us to cutback on checked luggage to one or none that saves us $50 to $100 on luggage fees because we have to fly to every cruise. Without the perks, we would be spreading our business around rather than just Celebrity or Royal Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaAtlCruiser Posted October 18, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Congratulations on almost being Elite Plus! I am "elite" but only because I am Diamond on RCL. So I basically get to start the journey from 0 on my upcoming cruise. I do like that on Azamera they match the X status all the way up instead of stopping at the Diamond/Elite level.

Sandtrap328 Posted October 18, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thanks, it's been a bit of a chore and we'll obviously have to keep working on it ;) Funny - but I never have thought that going on cruises was a "chore". I always thought of cruises were pure pleasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
