SadmanCruiser Posted March 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2017 If all goes to plan, we will get to 700 points on the Symphony Transatlantic in 2018 We will start the Symphony cruise with 692 points. My question is: Will we have access to Coastal Kitchen form the start of the cruise, the day we reach 700 or will it be on the next cruise? Also, will we get a gold card at the start of the Symphony cruise? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2017 All of this is up to the LA on board. Pinnacle is the only level that they recognize on the cruise it is earned. I've seen gold cards (I think white on Oasis class) handed out after the Pinnacle recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadmanCruiser Posted March 23, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thank you. Might just have to book another cruise before the Symphony. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencruise Posted March 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2017 When we became Pinnacle we were in a GS anyway so had a gold card and all the perks that went with it, however we did not get the complimentary Internet. Congratulations in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadmanCruiser Posted March 23, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thank you. It looks like trying to sneak another cruise in somewhere, Already got Vision, Rhapsody, Independence and a B2B on the Navigator - hard life! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagirl7143 Posted March 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Per Crown and Anchor, you do not receive the benefits until after the cruise that you achieve 700 or more points. However, some ships do do special things on the actual 700 day cruise. You become recognized in a ceremony but the gold card etc is after that one is complete.

39august Posted March 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2017 All depends on the LA. We reached 700 points on the fourth night of a b2b on 7 night cruises. We were recognized at the top tier party, given champagne and had picture taken with some crew(not the captain) during that cruise. The LA gave us the free internet immediately for the remainder of that cruise. The gold card was issued on the next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums That might be with C&A has told you, but it all depends on the HD and LA on board as to what benefits you will get on your Pinnacle Cruise. This is just another thing to add to the list of inconsistencies on ships regarding the method in which you are recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXTROT Posted March 23, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Congratulations Sadman. We booked an extra cruise to make sure we will turn Pinnacle before the second leg of our transpacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted March 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'd sneak one in. That TA is going to be top heavy with pinnacle Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torpeedo Posted March 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thank you. Might just have to book another cruise before the Symphony. Pete I would. Or if you aren't already in a JS or above on one of your booked cruises, up your cabin to a JS to get the double points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were 5-6 new pinnacle, just not sure what extras they would have gotten with so much attention being diverted elsewhere Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadmanCruiser Posted March 25, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) I think I will sneak another cruise in :D Might try to upgrade to a JS on one of our U.S. bookings or leave the wife at home for the double points ;), it really is a shame that we cannot do the same on U.K. bookings.
