Rare BillOh Posted November 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Just as an FYI, I never paid attention before because I didn't take my first Diamond cruise till this past April, but what was the attraction of the Diamond's in December event just in case it ever comes back?

Extra C&A credit/points for Diamond and above C&A members for cruises taken in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty G Posted November 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Extra C&A credit/points for Diamond and above C&A members for cruises taken in December. There were also different gifts given. One we still use is the nice luggage strap. Even have a spare or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted November 18, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Explain please. We are on a cruise in December?? it used to be that if you were Diamond or Diamond plus , and cruised in December( pretty much all ships and itineraries) you would get additional points for C&A status. so you would get say one extra point per night. it was discontinued several years ago.

Rare BillOh Posted November 18, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thanks for the various answers, it was just a piece of mind request, I knew it no longer applied but hear many references to it. I've cruised in April, May, October, and November, but won't rule out a Dec cruise someday should the motivation strike/or event returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted November 18, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 18, 2016 It was a way for Ellen to get from Diamond to Diamond Plus fairly quickly:D:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 18, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 18, 2016 It was a way for Ellen to get from Diamond to Diamond Plus fairly quickly:D:p With the way some December cruise prices are dropping, maybe RC will bring back Diamonds in December and Ellen can get to Painacle quickly!;):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snit13 Posted November 18, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Doesn't really cost RCCL anything so wonder why they took it away. I know, "because they could." We sailed on Jewel in GS in Dec. and were awarded the extra points. There were 2 friends also in a suite who were doing B2B all of December that year building up points. I guess they were trying to move up the C&A ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troykahack Posted November 18, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The December Diamond promos were discontinued several years ago. Ok thanks. I know about book in December and get double points or something like that. I have family who booked B2B 7 night JS and 56 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2010 they were still doing cruise credits. In the conversion we ended up with 28 points for a 7 night B2B on Monarch. :eek: :D We also got Aluminum water bottles.

So a JS would have gotten either 3 cruise credits for each 7 night voyage or 21 total points depending on which year. That's 42 points for 14 days. Pretty sure I'm correct.

Rare Rogueperson Posted November 18, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I *think* 2012 was the last year they did it. I was on the Independence in 2013 in December and there were a lot of diamond members on. They were upset because they had thought that they were sailing under that promotion only to find out it was discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end it worked out because Royal started giving bonus points to solo cruisers that fall. 😁 Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did Navigator in suite that year and the CL and overflow were so packed, we went to the Diamond 'Event' instead. There was always a lot of whining on these boards that it contributed to the a ballooning of D+ and Pinnacle ranks and a decline in benefits. I won't be surprised if we don't hear some of that in this thread. I couldn't tell if that was true or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Royal offer something like book in December and sail at some off time and get double pts? That was discussed here some time ago. This was last December. I had asked my family member and I swore they go double pts but I have CRS. Edited November 19, 2016 by troykahack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisetime25 Posted November 19, 2016 #21 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hubby and I are on Oasis in Feb...He is Diamond and I'm Emerald. I paid for the cruise with cc in my name only and wonder if we will get the perks for Diamond instead of my lower Emerald. Does this make sense???

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Had to book in dec 2015 for cruise on allure or oasis in suites during june through august 2016. You received double cruise points so 4 points each night. One couple on oasis was on b5b in a js to hit pinnacle. They got their 140 points in 5 weeks. The price of suites during the summer were quiet pricey.

If you contact RCL C&A, they will move you up to your husbands status. He is Diamond with a set number of cruise points, you will also be Diamond but you will retain your own cruise point total.
