At the moment, non Voyagers' Club members get a white cruisecard, so it wouldn't be very distinguishable if they make the Diamond card white, too.

Rare Beamafar Posted October 3, 2019 #52 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) According to a post on FB, Diamond will be introduced on Oct 20th (2 days after our embarkation date 😏) as a replacement for Black and not as a higher tier.

Norwegian Cruiser 73 Posted October 3, 2019 Author #53 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Thank you for the information Bea. Then it's confirmed that Diamond will replace Black. Will be interesting to see if they introduce some new perks for the Diamond level. It's about time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 3, 2019 #54 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It's highly unlikely, NC ... they would have done it at the same time as the name-change if that were the case. The only changes that are usually made to the benefits are cuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Cruiser 73 Posted October 3, 2019 Author #55 Share Posted October 3, 2019 That's for sure Bea. When sailing in YC there are almost no benefits left. Late cabin checkout and a bottle of spumante, that's it 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be a bit miffed for missing out by 2 days, but I don't think they'll be allowed to issue them before the 20th. They might be able to 'replace' our issued ones with new ones on or after the 20th, though. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case we weren't aware of how wonderful the perks of the top tier are. 🙄 It smacks to me of sending a signal that Diamond will be the top tier "going forward" ... "our top tier" is what they want to make "more clear". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted October 3, 2019 #74 Share Posted October 3, 2019 What's the difference? If the benefits are the same, why the change. I am a Princess Elite guest and my cruise card is Black. That color of card is recognized by Princess crew members and I feel more appreciated as a Princess past guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
