grapau27 Posted October 13, 2017 #127 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Well then, if you ever make Pinnacle, you'll just have to get branded. The coloured card will have to do. We always leave the new pins in the cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted October 13, 2017 #128 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Beachnative going off topic for a moment, did you ever make the August 26, 2017 Copenhagen TA on the Serenade. In regards to the badge, had I begun cruising maybe 20 yrs ago, I may have made Pinnacle but now I am happy to be where I am and compliment those who have achieved that level.

Gay Hi Gay, We have discovered that our cruise plans change far more than we ever anticipated because of our pre-teen granddaughters. For that cruise we were needed to help with them...and gladly said "yes" because they are the love of our life. The only cruise in our future that we believe is guaranteed is one that we booked for our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters...but I would not bet on it. :rolleyes: We are enjoying the benefits that accompany Pinnacle cruisers, especially on the Oasis and Quantum style ships...love those Coastal Kitchens!!

Desert Cruizers Posted October 13, 2017 #131 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The cruise was great but our last 4 days didn't end like we had hoped, but I won't go into it here. If you wish to email me I will let you know. Had our April plans not changed we would have made D +, an achievement I never thought we would have obtained in our life time.:) I fully understand, our grandchildren come first Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted October 13, 2017 #133 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Where were the rough seas, due to a medical emergency with my husband we were taken off in Newfoundland ST Johns. We were 2 days out from Halifax our next to final stop, a Sea day then Boston to disembark. We experienced some heavy winds during the crossing from Akureyri but it quieted down on September 6 to 7 Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted October 14, 2017 #136 Share Posted October 14, 2017 That probably was from the heavy winds we encountered early in the crossing after leaving Iceland. The Serenade handled it well but very few wanted to go out, Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted October 14, 2017 #141 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Oval PC badge?? PC badges have always been rectangular. Before there was a Pinnacle Club level, a few people with 100+ cruise credits received the same types of oval badges that crewmembers wear. Someone abused the use of these and the company stopped issuing them and replaced them with the rectangular metal ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone abused the use of these and the company stopped issuing them and replaced them with the rectangular metal ones. I know several people who had oval badges and how they got them. They weren't issued by the company and were given on a ship more for fun than to show any status. Agree that they were abused and those who had them were asked not to wear them.

We unfortunately know one them, a Scottish (miserable grumpy) Pinnacle who was actually given the oval badge with compliments from the ship management.

I will one bottle of SB from my profile on ice waiting for us, with another one in my carry on to take it's place in the ice bucket. Bucky always brings on a nice bottle of red. (Either a good rich cab or a Zin). :D Being a shorter cruise...just one comped bottle for us...not to the 525 yet. :o A week away? Are you on Oasis tomorrow? Or are you still getting to your official points on MJ on our 10/23? Agree...will be a great time!! :D I think we are just down the hallway from Laura?
