He sometimes gets looks when he walks into lounges. He was once asked by another cruiser if he was "allowed" to be in the Concierge lounge, to which he replied, "well they've let you in, so the bar is obviously set nice & low - I reckon I'll get away with it". The look on the guy's face was a picture. The Diamond Police. It gets worse the higher status they obtain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like to you they are all bad. The only thing they did was spend more money than you . They earned the privileges they get by paying for them, they didn't get them for free or through some connection. The problem is, the more P’s, and on particular cruises, the more we will have bad ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are 3 simple solutions for you. 1. Talk Royal into doing away with the program 2. Use another cruise line. 3. Keep on complaining about stuff that no one wants to hear. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a combination of points and $$ spent helps those that spend more $$ with Royal each year but have less points. Have a minimum target of $$ spend yearly to maintain P status. Sorta of like the way Casino Royale dies it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can make all the rules. If not wear your fingers out hitting the keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with your suggestions. But they are always the same in every thread. You and a few others on here seem to despise the fact that people whom have 700 Royal cruise points get perks. Pinnacles come in all ages and all persuasions, just like any other passengers. Some are "stuck up" but most are not. To constantly bash them in posts is bigoted. It is not your decision when or if someone wears their badge. When and if, you become Pinnacle you can decide when you wear your badge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get looking at age when entering the CL. It could be a suite guest for all you know. Also my son has never had a problem in the CL. But he has had some nasty looks and comments in the DL. We just brush it off and enjoy ourselves. Have no problems as he has over 250 cruise points himself. I just wish he would be able to get his own D+ gifts. Seems unfair that he made D+ with his own points at 11 and has the same C&A gifts as when he sailed 5 years ago as a gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a room at the end of the day! We made Diamond 8 years ago and are D+ now and been in many DLs but have personally never seen or heard nasty comments or looks. We usually go in around 7.30pm to 8.30pm so maybe we are going in at the right time when some have gone for early dinner.

Any first time cruiser can be in the CL.... by just booking a full suite (GS and above). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
