travelplus Posted July 22, 2019 #51 Share Posted July 22, 2019 It's a great feeling to go up in status and especially when you're having fun doing it! You may want to book 22 night cruises! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just became Emerald too. What perks will we now have? We are considering a back to back to reach Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er345 Posted July 22, 2019 #53 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Our upcoming cruise will be our first at Platinum status. I’m happy because I thought to call the C & A line yesterday to check our kids’ status. I mistakenly thought they were automatically tied to our accounts after their previous cruise with us. But they weren’t. So now they are both at Platinum too with our point level. I know they don’t care now, but at least if they decide to continue to cruise as adults they will be starting out at Platinum or possibly Emerald by the time they turn 18.

It wasn't there when we became Diamond, became a level way after that. Now we're half way to Pinnacle, hope to get there when I retire in two years.

I guess it's not too hard to skip over that level if you book a 14 night cruise in a suite. You get 28 points and the duration of Emerald is only 25 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also seem to remember that Diamond was 10 cruises (70 points based on avg 7-night cruise) and was raised to 80 nights.....I think. It was a long time ago and I didn't pay attention as I only had 1 or 2 cruises under my belt at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYMAN Posted July 22, 2019 #59 Share Posted July 22, 2019 In 2011 they added Emerald. Not real sure about the nights total for Diamond at the time, we were already pass there. I thought it was strange to add a tier between Plat & Diam in lieu of between D+ & Pinnacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumor is that someone at RCI messed up. Was supposed to put in a level at the half way mark at the unnamed D+ level. That was supposed to be Emerald, from what I gather.

Heard the same thing.....many times. :-) You know we'll love to cruise with you & Bucky again, and as Pinnacle? Major party. Either way, if I don't live that long, I'll get Tyler there. ha! We'll take a look at your 2020 schedule, we'll be on the Harmony twice, maybe try to hit one of the dates.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdwcruises Posted July 22, 2019 #67 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Congrats! It won't be long before the next level. These days it's quite possible to reach diamond with 3 work friendly length cruises. Heck if you do solo, 2 might just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we will make diamond with any of them However we will turn Emerald after our Oasis cruise in April We’ve been Platinum on Princess and RCI forever because we alternate them. It’s been a good level to be on, and then we hit Emerald on RCI with our last cruise. I think it’s easier to move up levels on RCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know compared to others it is nothing and the platinum benefits aren't huge but we do not get to cruise very often so it feels like a big deal to me! Just wanted to share my excitement! Well, good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjen Posted July 23, 2019 #72 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Just realized we're now "emerald" after this recent cruise, and we get something on the next cruise called "the welcome waters snack pack" or something like that. I know, I too, had a good laugh over that, but what is it, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
