Rare island lady Posted March 15, 2018 #2926 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Looking at the 600 point numbers you are most likely correct that there will be a flood of new pinnacle members in the next 2 to 3 years if they cruise multiple times a year in suites. I know we do and or points range anywhere from 55 to 75 a year. Sent from my iPhone using Forums ^ Yup...ditto. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted March 15, 2018 #2927 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Sounds to me you are all for C&A members bumping out Suite Guests. I think Royal should set Status by $ spent with Royal.

cruisenfever Posted March 15, 2018 #2930 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The same might apply to yourself if RC decide to make SL for Suites only and Pinnacles can join D+ and D in the DL or (overflow or not). No worries since neither my husband nor I drink alcohol and the only time I visit a lounge is during the day for a cup of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums How to lose customers. Ludicrous idea. Already paid to get on the ship and you want them to spend more to get benefits. They'l better drop the initial cruise price then. Not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Pedro Posted March 15, 2018 #2932 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I’ve asked the same question. Nobody wants to go out on a limb and say in a fully utilized SL/CK who would have Priority? Suite Guests or P’s. Sent from my iPhone using Forums My guess is suite guests will have priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired LEO Posted March 15, 2018 #2935 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I have always said, if you want Suite perks or treated like a Suite Guest, book a Suite. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being a suite guest and spending so much money with Royal. It makes my $300.00 cabin SO much nicer.

They'l better drop the initial cruise price then. Not going to happen It included cabin pricing. Why shouldn’t someone who pays more for their cabin get more pts? Also, dollars spent On other activities with Royal. Casino, Speciality Dinning, Royal Excursions, Ships tours, Park West, shopping onboard, photo packages, beverage packages, renting Flow Rider.

ONECRUISER Posted March 15, 2018 #2938 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Sounds to me you are all for C&A members bumping out Suite Guests. I think Royal should set Status by $ spent with Royal. Easy to track. Sent from my iPhone using Forums But is that money spent on that single cruise or total all cruises, or as was hinted to earlier the total spent earning that status? Those of us that spent most are ones that cruised 20-30+ years ago. In 1988 A single 7 nite cruise for 2, on deck 2 with a tiny Port Hole cabin spent over $3400+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy for Royal to track. Sent from my iPhone using Forums For a start Casino gives a royalty when you spend loads Park West and photo labs are private run as is shopping. Why should they give you a discount. That leaves dining, which is overpriced in the first place. Ask how many would use it if they didn't get the free one. Not every ship has flow rider, so that's a flaw Drink package, they are trying in every corner of the ship to sell them, not cheapen them. I'm sure I will have some of this wrong, so apologies in advance 3 drinks with a few hours of free drinks which they state what drink you can have isn't the b all and end all. Nice perk but the lounge for breakfast and to use during the day for a bit peace and quiet with a cup of coffee is a better perk for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to happen While Clelebrity is not rewarding customers with points for on board spend they certainly are giving vastly different amounts of points based on the cabin category that you book.

Only sailed once but got extra for being cc class. Got Elite through Royal The level numbers are a lot different. I think Elite starts at 300 and + at 750.
