jk04 Posted December 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) We made Platinum on our last cruise. Yay!!! Was reading through the loyalty benefits and noticed a lapel pin. I have usually seen those on Pinnacles and Diamonds, didn't realize there was one given to Emerald and Platinum. Wasn't sure how the pins were distributed, mailed home, in your room as incentive for your next cruise. So, off searching I went. Came across the Forbidden Thread of Myth and Lore (title renamed to protect the innocent, or guilty) and I have to say it was hysterical. Anyway, thank you for some good laughs and useful information from those in the more 'experienced' status levels 😁 If I am not mistaken in my reading, it seems the pins will possibly be in our room in the next cruise. If not, just ask the LA. After next year, we will be only 10 points from Emerald!! I know, I know, it's just a Platinum pin but I think it will be kinda fun to have. It's my precious! We wants it!!

Clarea Posted December 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Should be delivered to your stateroom, but that has not been reliable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't wear ours but still have them and like it when we receive the new tier level pin. Edited December 26, 2019 by davekathy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted December 26, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Very simple to stop by and ask for the pin from the LA. They will pull out big plastic baggie full of them. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdg623 Posted December 26, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 26, 2019 We've never automatically gotten ours, always had to ask. They're really kind of tacky, it's just cool to have them - we've certainly earned them. When we turned D+ our concierge made an announcement in the lounge and presented them to us with a little ceremony - it was really cute. Later I found out friends had put him up to it - still it was fun, and the only time I've ever actually worn one! We rarely see anyone else wearing them - except for the Mariner last month. Saw lots of people with pins, but couldn't tell what level they were - it'd take a magnifying class to tell the difference! But I think when we finally get to Pinnacle, we'll probably wear that one 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biomedbob Posted December 26, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Had friends who had earned their diamond pins and had no use for them. Gave maybe a half dozen to me. I took one of them to my local friendly jeweler and had him put the biggest rhinestone that would fit onto it. The next cruise, in the D lounge, when all are strutting their stuff, came in with one of my finest Carnival tee shirts on, but had the sea pass card on my landyard covering the pin. Of course I was challenged, but when I exposed the pin it brought down the house. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted December 27, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have a question- Is it the custom for Pinnacles to wear their pins during a cruise ? I have seen photos of Pinnacle groups on CC and I have noticed those in the group wearing a pin. Is it a RCCL thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac66 Posted December 27, 2019 #18 Share Posted December 27, 2019 We had to go to the Loyalty Ambassador for our pins. The LA just reached into a bag full and gave them to us without even asking our names. They went into our cruise memorabilia box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happytocruiseginny Posted December 27, 2019 #20 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have seen Pinnacle members that have a gold colored name type badge that says Pinnacle in black letters. I saw a LOT of them on Oasis at the beginning of this month (Dec 2019). I have never seen pins for any other level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
