C&A Extra Point Solo Cruise

[nws2002]

Is this still a thing? As in, if I book a normal (non-solo) cabin as travel alone I get two C&A points per day?

 

I took a solo cruise in May of last year and had to email them to have them post the extra points. I just realized my December cruise only has 4 points and not 8, so I emailed them about that. My cruise this past weekend was solo and in a suite, which I think means 3 points per day but I bet I'll have to email them to get that posted correctly too. Do you always have to email and request the extra points for being a solo cruiser?

I don't, but some people do.  😄  

 

It's worth it to call for the extra points.

For sure will be worth it, I'll move up to Platinum, which I know doesn't have a ton of extra perks but it is nice to be something other than Gold, haha.

I always have to call to get my double points.  Yes, it is the only way I have gotten  credit for the double cost.  Flip side, I made Diamond more quickly...o just wish I was more of a drinker to the full benefit.  I have not seen much offered to diamond outside of the free happy hour drinks.   Cruise on fellow solo travelers! 🕶🚢🍍🌞⚓️

You should get 3 points per day for suite. As long as it wasn't a free upgrade or one of the bid deals.

So I called yesterday regarding double points for single occupancy and was told I would only receive 1 point per night ! Did they change this? I was told only suites would receive double points.

Unless you were in a studio type stateroom, you should have received an extra point per night.

I hope that's not true!!  I'm sailing solo in a suite this weekend.  Was looking forward to triple points!  Last May I received my triple points.  Guess I'll find out!

I’ve never had to call or email. 6-7 days after my cruise my double points have always posted.

24 hour internet? Are you meaning access to internet via the Diamond Lounge?

Did you talk specifically to C&A?  I hope you just got someone who didn't know this rule.

I got double points for a solo cruise less than two weeks ago!  

[hapster85]

I've only been solo (on paper) once, but did not have to call or write to get the extra points. Definitely make sure you get the credit you are due.

If you were not in a studio... call back and get someone in C&A who knows what they are talking about.

FYI, it is not "double points."

 

It is 1 point per night to cruise.  Plus 1 point per night if solo in a cabin for two.  Plus 1 point per night in a suite, including JR suites.

 

Double would imply 4 points per night total for a solo suite.

I think he is referring to the internet package, and the discount that gives one full day free. I use it on every sailing.

It may be terminology.

 

As my post above, it is not "double points," it is 1 point per night extra for solo or a suite.

I've had to call or email them to correct the points around three quarters of the time. It might have to do with how you booked, I've always booked online. There have been times where the person making the change for me has added a note to my future reservations that I was sailing single. Those sailing always came out with the correct points.

I'll call again! Also, we have a room and my adult son has his own room.  Thinking of flip flopping he and my husband so my husband can get double points.  Willl this work?

It will but unless he really needs his own he'll always get your status so I'd book whoever is closest to the next tier between the 2 of us in the solo cabin or leave it as your adult son since now he can't just use your status too 🙂

[kaykay67]

What do you mean he will get our status? He's 24, I don't think he receives our same status?

Yes, except may want to reprice the solo cabin.

Sure, but it's not necessary since your husband shares your point total.

[kaykay67]

I'm sorry! I'm a little brain fogged today lol!  My husband and I currently have a room booked and my son has his own room booked (solo).   If I flip flop their names it will appear as though my husband is staying in a solo room and my son staying with me, should my husband receive double points?
