Rare OCSC Mike Posted July 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The big jump is from Emerald to Diamond. Think of it as one step closer to Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted July 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Didn't even have Emerald when we started. Kind of a silly level. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Totally agree. In fact we never even made it to Emerald, which I love to tell fellow pax. One lady on the elevator bragged loudly that she just made Diamond, I congratulated her and told her that we never made Emerald, she beemed and said, "Oh, you might make it some day". Previously, on a Panama canal cruise in a JS, we skipped right over Emerald which was introduced during the time we were on that cruise. Went from Platinum to Diamond...do not pass go...do not collect 200.00. ;) And never got our Emerald pins!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare L454S Posted July 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I think we were Emerald for one cruise. T/A in a GS will do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Jo UK Posted July 4, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Slightly off topic sorry - How long after your cruise does it take to show your new level when you log in (assuning your level has changed)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonegirl Posted July 4, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Woot! :D We are 3 days short of leveling up to Platinum. Of course our next one is a 12 night one....so we go as Emerald :) Leave as Platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted July 4, 2017 #19 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Emerald level was invented only to prolong the trip to Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snit13 Posted July 4, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 4, 2017 You should have waited to post that:cool: Cheated. Looked at our Celebrity cruises. We did a fast track to Celebrity Elite and our first Royal cruise was therefore Diamond. We made it to Elite + but unless we hit FL lottery will never make Diamond +. Love to cruise.

actuarian Posted July 5, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Didn't even have Emerald when we started. Kind of a silly level. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Some years back, I heard a rumor (which, like all rumors, may not be true) that the Emerald level as presently constituted was a mistake. The story was that they had intended to create a new level somewhere between Diamond Plus and Pinnacle, possibly at 340 points. However, when the press release about the new level was released, it was accidentally announced as between Platinum and Diamond and RCCL decided to honor that press release. It may not be true but it is noteworthy that there are several perks that require 340 points although there is (at present) no level that requires 340 points.

novalab Posted July 5, 2017 #23 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'm confused. Emerald is after Platinum Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app I just completed a cruise that bumped me up from Platinum to Emerald. Even received a congratulation email from RC on becoming Emerald. This would leave me to believe Emerald is after Platinum. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were true I would think that even though they may have decided to honour the incorrect press release they would have gone ahead with their supposed plans for a level between D+ and Pinnacle. Gotta love rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love rumours. I don't think it is true. If I remember it correctly, before Emerald was officially put in place (and the rumors had started on these boards) RCI was denying that any changes were being made. Then someone here posted a picture of a sign (that apparently was put up prematurely) in the Miami terminal than had the various levels on it including Emerald. So RCI could have fixed things well before the went public with the announcement of the new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
