HappyTravels Posted February 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think my C&A points may be wrong. I haven't cruised RCL since 2004 and since then they have changed the way they calculate points. I cruised 3 times - 9 nights 7 nights 7 nights So by my calculation, I should have 23 points. But my C&A shows 22 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2019 You got one cruise credit for each of the 3 cruises you took. That translated to 21 points plus 1 fudge factor point, or a total of 22 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace1zoe2 Posted February 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2019 When they changed the way points are awarded you received 7 points for each cruise regardless if number of days. Then you received one bonus point at conversion. I also had a 9 night and only got 7 points. All those with 3/4 night cruises got 7 each from my understanding.

HappyTravels Posted February 14, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Oh, I thought it was one point per night and that the 9 night cruise would be 9 points. Did everyone get a "fudge factor" point when they converted? Edited February 14, 2019 by HappyTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my prior ones had been 7 nights so I didn't come out ahead or behind lol but I was irritated at the time by those that had only done 3/4 nights and got "extra points" lol - I didn't even think about cruises over 7 nights! Then again I did a 3N solo on Majesty in 2012 and now they offer double points per night for solos even in regular cabins - I reached out to C&A but because they didn't start that practice until after that cruise no dice!

Did everyone get a "fudge factor" point when they converted? Prior to January 2011, there were no cruise points. Each cruise was one credit, with an extra credit for a JS (or better) stateroom and an extra credit for cruises of 12 nights or longer. So you could earn 3 credits per cruise. Credits were converted into cruise points in Jan 2011 using this forumula: If credits were 1-4, points = credits * 7 + 1 If credits were 5-7, points = credits * 7 + 3 If credits were > 7, points = credits * 7 + 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattR Posted February 15, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Ok here I thought they had given me extra points as I had done a old 7 and old 3 night cruise and a recent 14 night cruise for a total of 29 points which matches this formula. Is there a way for me to see my family's points from our upcoming cruise planner or do I have to create a crown and anchor account for them?
