Rare island lady Posted February 19, 2018 #1576 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It’s only a win win for the people not removed from a lounge where it’s unlimited. You aren’t kidding anyone. We know what you’d like to happen already. In fact, about 35 times. It wasn't that long ago that Ds were removed from the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted February 19, 2018 #1577 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Me too. It is just not that far from 80 points to 175 points to make D+. 175 to 700....that's a hurdle! :o I agree,there should be a mid tier to give people something to aim for.

Rare island lady Posted February 19, 2018 #1579 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We are taking our niece and her partner to our favourite hotel in Spain for 3 nights in a couple of weeks time.Next cruise is on Independence for 5 nights out of Southampton England 28th May. Your Land Yacht sounds brilliant. Sounds like a great time indeed!! :D Enjoy! We do enjoy the Land Yacht. Since I like to cook...waiting for our waiter is not a problem on these "cruises"....and Bucky is a great bartender. ;):cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted February 19, 2018 #1580 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It wasn't that long ago that Ds were removed from the CL. I remember it well because we weren't to far off diamond at the time and looking forward to the CL so we decided to do several cruises on P&O and NCL instead.

It is just not that far from 80 points to 175 points to make D+. 175 to 700....that's a hurdle! :o All depends whice way you are looking at this. RC doesn't have long cruises it is not easy to get 175 points on the 7 day cruises. I agree it should be another level between 175 to 700 .

grapau27 Posted February 19, 2018 #1583 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Totally agree...that would solve the issue. But also would be nice to add a couple of specialty coffee vouchers to those drink vouchers. Yes i agree and it wouldn't cost RC much to do that.

voyager70 Posted February 19, 2018 #1584 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It wasn't that long ago that Ds were removed from the CL. I remember that well. And back then there were no DL's, just the Nightly Diamond Event with cheap free wine & champagne, no nibbles and 25% discount on beer & booze!

Rare island lady Posted February 19, 2018 #1585 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I remember it well because we weren't to far off diamond at the time and looking forward to the CL so we decided to do several cruises on P&O and NCL instead. We were still working at the time, but very much enjoyed the "Diamond Events" while still Diamond, plus tossed in stays in GS cabins when we wanted the CL. Did not take long to make D+ from there on the longer cruises. We actually never made Emerald (that level is not worth much anyway :rolleyes:) and went right over it from D to D+ on one single cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No CL or DL on that one, but service is great, fantastic view, and superior munchies in the VCL! :D I did meet many new friends at the Events, and agree that service was generally top notch. Quite often I would give a generous tip with the first drink and the 25% discount suddenly became 100% :D Have not been on MJ but I've heard their Event is great.

I think being a smaller ship with much less venues...the crew really goes all out to make it special. :D We always tip 1.00 per drink per person each time.

Biker19 Posted February 19, 2018 #1596 Share Posted February 19, 2018 B2B Serenade out of Ft. Lauderdale. 11 + 10 = 21 x2 if JS and above. 42 points. I learned of a new point whoring technique while on Adventure last week. Couple are D+ above 350 points. The wife books a JS solo at the 150% supplement rate. The husband books with friends also on the cruise as a third person in their cabin at really low price (but of course stays with wife in the JS). So, they get triple points.

Lady Hudson Posted February 19, 2018 #1599 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Wow, that's brilliant! Might be brilliant but it is cheating. I have heard of folks doing such things and getting caught. Did not get their extra points. Cheating hurts us all, besides being — well — cheating! Royal will catch on and make adjustments. I am one who is happy with the program as is. I think it is very generous and probably the best in the industry. Just my opinion. Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
