danicolie Posted May 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) My mom and I are considering booking the Presidents/50th Anniversary cruise on Nov 2nd. We've never done a regular Presidents cruise and I imagine this year will be even more special since it's the 50th anniversary cruise as well. What are the pros/cons? Is it worth the extra cost? What are people's experiences with the regular yearly Presidents cruises? I am only turning Diamond after my next cruise so will we be left out of many "birthday/presidents celebrations" if we're only Emerald? I am worried that all the venues or special events/concerts/gifts will be mostly for Diamond and up? Edited May 18, 2019 by danicolie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some events just for cardholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that last year, Diamond and up got to see the special concert live in the theater while Emerald and below had to watch it broadcast on screen in the Aqua Theatre and Studio B. To me, that's no different than watching a concert on YouTube at home and not a perk. I am wondering what those Emerald and below's experience has been like? If the live concert is the only event they missed out on. ie. If it's only worth it if you're Diamond and up. I am from Canada so no RC Visa card either. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a live review of the cruise last year. Link is in my signature. Visa card did help 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
