islandwoman Posted January 10 #8152 Share Posted January 10 If you get the points to reach the next loyalty level during a cruise, can you access the higher level benefits while on that cruise, or do you have to wait until that cruise is over and you sail on another one?

They're generally pretty accommodating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule is that you have to wait. After all, nearly everyone who moves to another level does so during a cruise. You can ask the Captains Club host or hostess to make an exception for you, but don’t be surprised if the answer is no. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is this "rule" defined? 10 minutes ago, cruisestitch said: nearly everyone who moves to another level does so during a cruise. Not true, since points for a cruise don't post until after the cruise is completed. Power-Up points are a special case that can cause you to be bumped during a cruise, though booking multiple cruises in close proximity could make it happen as well as the points for the first cruise could post during the second cruise. (Back-to-back is also a special case where they will actually give you benefits before your points actually post.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last cruise I was on, which were back to back, I and a few others weren't trying for immediate benefits, but just the next cruise as it doesn't credit immediately - and even that was 'problematic' for the CC host. They were definitely not offering any benefits in advance of their terms. But I guess some people somewhere may be lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we had the back-to-back where we got to E+ after the first, the CC host had no problem with us or anyone else in the same boat (no pun intended) getting new status on the second cruise. Just goes to show that some employees are customer-focused and some are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the points your receive for a cruise which you don't earn until the end of the cruise and don't show up in your account for about 10 day. You earned your PUP's prior to the cruise and your account was updated on the cruise, I would think you have a compelling request to the CC Host. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope the CC hosts would upgrade you for the remainder of the cruise. This seems like a cheap goodwill gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathynorth Posted January 10 #8165 Share Posted January 10 I wonder if a big part of the issue with recognizing a change in CC loyalty status while on a cruise has to do with being able to see th points in the system. If PUPs result in a change in status and you can see them in your account then the CC host should be able to see that on their computer. Couldn't someone in this situation go to Guest Services and say I'm elite but my card shows select, could you please change this on my card? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get the new status in the middle of a cruise if it is the cruise that you are going to earn the points on. If you get the status from PUP points that is something different. Seems like status would change then and the host could recognize it. You would show the new status as soon as the point are added. The host can probably do what they do with back to backs.

I think there has been some confusion about what islandwoman was asking. Originally there was no mention of back to back. Then back to back and PUP were added.

We did not get (and didn't expect to) any of the higher level benefits until the 2nd leg. Although the points had not posted in the main X system the Captains Club Hostess could override the system and we had the higher level perks for the entire 2nd leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
