dpostman Posted November 2, 2017 #476 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I Agee. I rarely bring up status unless asked or if I have a problem and my card is not visible. Loyalty matters. If you’ve spent the money and are loyal you should be acknowledged. Not fawned over. But acknowledged. I enjoy the free beverages and a few other amenities. But I have never said here I am, treat me better. I have never jumped line at guest services. I talk to other passengers and give them tips if they are new. Stuff I wish I had known. Treat the staff kindly and it will get you further than any status printed on your card. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I agree with you 100% that this is key! But being extra nice still won't get me in the DL... ;p But that's OK. I have no problems with that. maybe I'll get there someday, but I do tend to look at other cruise lines so it might take a while. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted November 2, 2017 #477 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Ocean Boy is joking, Graham. I guess it's our across the pond sense of humor that got you again.:D But you ARE learning!! We need to take him out to a London pub....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 2, 2017 #478 Share Posted November 2, 2017 BTW...I never got the impression you were ever flaunting your status/tier level. Like most of us just expressing that we enjoy and appreciate the perks that are associated with the tier level we have become by cruising with RC. If that's flaunting then I'm just as guilty. But not! :cool: Thanks! And we both have the same thing in common. ;) We love to cruise, and appreciate being appreciated by our brand of choice! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's your game plan? This could be a very revealing experiment. I would not do anything around staff or officers. You need to search out newbies and "play with them" Anxious to hear your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted November 3, 2017 #493 Share Posted November 3, 2017 So what's your game plan? This could be a very revealing experiment. I would not do anything around staff or officers. You need to search out newbies and "play with them" Anxious to hear your thoughts. Step 1: Have shirts made that say the following: Move over, I am Diamond / Muevete, soy un Diamante Diamond Plus is Really Pinnacle Minus Pinnacles are made of Tanzanite, but a Diamond is a Diamond. Seriously though, you are right. I'll search out some newbies and adopt them for the weekend. They'll do what we do. We'll just sneak them into the DL under the auspices of the RCI mid-upper tier adopt a cruiser program. We'll introduce our Diamonds In Training prominently wherever we go and key them in to the good life with insider tips like order two appetizers in the dining room, fire doors are to stop fires not Diamonds, use the Captains Corner to berate the master of the ship over the lack of flaming baked Alaska parades (true Diamonds know that's the BEST time),and force them to watch us exchange our virtual coupons for an 8 x 10 photo of our choice (already printed in gallery) so they know the good life is coming You may not do anything around staff or officers, but I'll Diamond my way right to driving the ship:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been gold so long I went from getting the free meal to the free shake from one cruise to the next. Kind of like when they changed the SAT scoring and I got dumber with the same score. Watch out Platinum only 1 more day. Then I'll be going to breakfast in my Robe and Lapel Pin. Styling and Profiling. If I do a back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back I can go from Gold to Diamond in one hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
