I once said in a post I let my 3 year old son sip from my soda and I had the soda package and they made it out that I was Ted Bundy and RCI will not have to sell off their ships because they were gonna go out of business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwizzlersAddict Posted July 27, 2019 #31 Share Posted July 27, 2019 You should do a mock booking on your next cruise to see if the Emerald balcony discount is being applied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only goal I care about. Someone recently posted that they were Emerald (on the low-end on points, I believe ) but when they got on the ship, their SeaPass had Diamond printed. They even went to Guest Services to correct but were told it was right. So they had access to DL, the 3 free HH drinks etc. While most CC members were happy, a few did call them out on their "dishonesty" for using benefits they were not entitled to. For the record, Congrats! I'm happy for you & hopefully the points won't go away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted July 27, 2019 #34 Share Posted July 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Ourusualbeach said: It usually makes sense. Not sure what they have done in your case. The confusing cruise is the 5 day EX listed at 2 credits. It really should be 1 credit based on what you have said which means you should only have 18+8+5+9=40 points each credit was awarded 7 points plus a fudge factor so 1 credit is 8 points 2 credits is 15 points What's also confusing is that the first cruise was taken under the old point system is showing 18 points which is correct using the new point system. I actually came up with 37 points but I did not take into account the "fudge factor". 18+5+5+9 = 37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted July 27, 2019 #35 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Congratulations and enjoy. We sail in March for the first time as Emerald, and I’m not expecting it to be different from Platinum except for, I think, a couple of cookies and two bottles of water? i’m happy to have moved up a tier, and would love a jump to Diamond. If anyone at RCI is watching, that’s a hint!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at the digital copy for our cruise in Sept on Anthem and it was green to indicate Emerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo807 Posted July 28, 2019 #41 Share Posted July 28, 2019 This happened to us. We had 14 extra points for five years and then once we took another cruise the points updated correctly, but they kept us at the new level. We were only 1 point away anyways. They claimed that the person that the points should have been assigned to had a similar C&A number and they happened to call in about their lost points while we were on the cruise. I don't believe that the person coincidentally called in while we were on the cruise (and after 5 years), but there was nothing to fight as our points were right. It was just disappointing that we weren't 14 points closer to diamond 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they messed up my cruise credits in my favor (gave me credit for something I didn't earn) and then realized their error and deducted the points again, I wouldn't complain as I didn't actually earn the points. It's not like the emerald benefits are all that much different than platinum. It's just a stop over point to get to Diamond. I would hope they wouldn't catch it and that I could continue my ascent to Diamond more quickly, but if they did take it away I wouldn't whine too much. That's just me though. Now if they took points away from me that I had earned, I am sure I would be making a phone call to get it clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbismom Posted July 29, 2019 #43 Share Posted July 29, 2019 We did a six night cruise to Bermuda in a Junior Suite in 2012 and my history notes 16 points for it. They had to cut short our time in Bermuda by about a day & half due to weather. I've always assumed they gave us extra points as compensation for that. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
