legospice Posted October 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi, My husband and i are thinking about booking the Reflection for my birthday next year. I am Elite on Celebrity and we are both Diamond on RC. With it being his first Celebrity cruise, will he be able to come with me to the cocktail hour and whatever other perks i have? Or does it not apply until his second cruise? Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gold1953 Posted October 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2019 He is Elite because you are . A spouse living at the same address will take your status . He does not need to have ever sailed on any line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but you would be better off getting him a Captains Club number since he qualifies as elite on Celebrity due to his Diamond status on Royal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted October 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Best to call and have him set up under your status so that his points are set to your equal yours. He will then be collecting towards the next level which cannot be achieved through RCL status 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upwarduk Posted October 9, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Have you informed your TA / Celebrity of your C&A number? We gave our Captains Club number to Royal and we became Diamond. We used the Diamond line on embarkation. We were given a few other perks on embarkation a) 4 bottles of water in the cabin b) a fruit plate c) Diamond pin delivered to our cabin before the first Formal night. Good luck gaining Elite status.

Should I have the same number of points has she does? Or should I just have the same status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After our next cruise in December, she'll be Elite while I will only have earned enough points to remain at Select. I'll make sure to call to get the bump if it doesn't happen automatically.

How do we get our diamond status transferred to Celebrity? You will need to sign up under the Captian's Club with Celebrity:https://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/join-the-club Reciprocity Between Brands Equivalent recognition is one of the benefits of being a Captain's Club, Crown & Anchor Society and/or Le Club Voyage loyalty member. It offers loyalty members the opportunity to receive recognition and similar Celebrity benefits with matching tier status–both pre-cruise and onboard–when sailing with one of the three brands. Members of one loyalty program must enroll in a sister program in order to receive equivalent recognition benefits. Points on Celebrity and Azamara are earned cumulatively in both loyalty programs. For example, 20 Club Points earned on a Celebrity sailing will be reflected as 20 points in both Celebrity's and Azamara's loyalty programs. The total Club Points for the member will reflect all qualified points earned. Points earned on Royal Caribbean are earned only for the Royal Caribbean loyalty program. Points of each loyalty program cannot be added together. Points are calculated using the applicable brand's program level accrual system. The following program levels are equivalent for loyalty program recognition purposes: Preview Azamara LeClub Voyage: Preview Classic Azamara LeClub Voyage: Adventurer Select Azamara LeClub Voyage: Explorer Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor Society: Platinum Elite Azamara LeClub Voyage: Discoverer Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor Society: Diamond Elite Plus Azamara LeClub Voyage: Discoverer Plus Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor Society: Diamond Zenith Azamara LeClub Voyage: Discoverer Platinum Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor Society: Diamond Edited October 18, 2019 by Plum Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works the same way going from Royal to Celebrity - if I am Diamond Plus on RCCL I'm only Elite on Celebrity. The highest levels cannot be transferred, they must be earned.

Yes, I know but it reads that Elite Plus is equivalent to Diamond on Royal, and the same for Zenith.. No mention of diamond should be under those headings if it is an equivalent as it suggests to members, if you were looking at it coming over from Royal, that at Diamond level, they could be Elite Plus or Zenith, which isn’t the case.

While I agree that the explanation could be clearer and the display could be labeled better, the use of Captain’s Club tiers in the left column (bold print) with subordinate outline structure covering “equivalency” in the Azamara and Royal Caribbean loyalty programs below each Celebrity tier, it is implied—we read right to left and top to bottom—that the chart is prepared from the perspective of Captain’s Club tier status and not vice versa for those who are seeking “reciprocal benefits” on X based upon Crown & Anchor status... Haven’t looked but my guess is that there is a similar chart on the Royal Caribbean website which displays “equivalency” on Celebrity and Azamara based upon C&A membership tier.

I don't read it that way and is very clear to me. But... I believe we both can agree elite is the highest reciprocal level for Celebrity as a C&A member and diamond is the highest reciprocal level for RC as a CC member. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinCons Posted October 19, 2019 #23 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It was pretty clear to me as well. I've read the charts from both sides and understood them each time. Not sure how to make it much clearer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only read this from an X point of view. ie if you are Elite Plus or Zenith, you are considered Diamond on RCL. On RCLs site, it will indicate if you are Diamond or above, you are considered Elite on X. The chart is a 1-way chart only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
