Robo1098 Posted December 17, 2018 #127 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I am a little upset as I hope to be diamond soon. The perks seem to get less and less the closer I get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perks seem to get less and less the closer I get. Yea, it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Lots of gloom and doom. 99% of the issues is because sailings have a HUGE number of D and D+ on them. If you sail in the high season (because some of us have to, thanks to work), you will not encounter the crowding problems. D's haven't seen a major change for years, but D+ got moved into the D lounge on ships that had a CL and it was changed to a SL. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPP777 Posted December 18, 2018 #132 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Loyalty program dilution happens in most travel industries. All frequent flyer programs have gone through some changes. When you were 1 of 1000, it meant something to RC. Now that you are1 in 100, not so much anymore. (Made up numbers). That’s the harsh reality off it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingos Posted December 18, 2018 #133 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Question: if you turn diamond mid-cruise, do you get perks right away or do you have to wait for the next one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was there, i just don't remember it. It was just one small card with wine and beer and ONE cider (Of course, I got the cider, because that's why i know). But then again, I don't drink much, so the fact that I even ordered the chocolate martini was amazing. Even free, I find order alcoholic drinks to be a little odd for me. RCI Chocolate Martini = Bailey's Irish Cream, New Amsterdam vodka, imitation chocolate sauce. Shaken, not stirred. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal still has the best loyalty program out there. You will get nothing if you cruise Princess, Carnival or NCL. Princess top level gives 1 set up of small drink bottles in your room when you board. It is not refilled. Everything changes, we all feel the pinch in one way or another. Having sailed Princess I know the demographic is totally different. They swear that Princess has the best program because top level gets free laundry. On that board the elites complain that it takes too many days for the laundry to be returned because there are too many elites or that elites are brining dirty laundry from home to be washed on the ship. The only thing I get from any loyalty program is the entertaining complaint threads started by the poor top tier cruisers who had the money and free time to cruise enough to reach this high honor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess as much as Laura is on the ship, it's pretty convenient for you to drop off your cleaning once a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
