lovescats5 Posted October 20, 2020 #376 Share Posted October 20, 2020 So if I understand this correctly, when we sail in the Star Loft on Allure in Feb. we will each get 4 points instead of 2? And this applies to all cruises already booked, not just new ones. Thanks for any clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. A very nice outcome after a day of confusion. As a result we should be Diamond+ on our late 2021 cruises. We are looking forward to the extra perks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my recollection of yesterday it was early responses that were saying 3 nights and as the day went on and the reps received clarification 4 points per night seemed to be the common answer. Kind of like when they started off saying previous bookings were not eligible. If true, that means solo in a studio is 2 pts, solo in a regular cabin is 4 pts, and solo in a suite is 6 pts.🤔 There's the WOW 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liberiben Posted October 20, 2020 #385 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I didn’t read every page. Did they ever clarify existing bookings counting? I have 6 for 2021. Already booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 20, 2020 #391 Share Posted October 20, 2020 After a all day back and forth with my TA and her back in forth with Royal, first saying that I had to reprice and rebook at a increase of over $600 to get the extra points, I finally got confirmation that yes I will receive extra points for my November cruise that was a L&S with no changes that I insisted on. Thanks to all those at CC (I'm looking at you Ken) who had it right from the beginning. My persistence paid off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have reported already having done so. Are you saying that it's not automatic? That does not make any sense as it is so difficult to get a hold of a TA in the C19 environment.

Too many times I call and get one answer from a supervisor in resolution and then call back and get a different answer from a different supervisor. Whether it’s right or wrong it would be easier if they were all on the same page. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cublet Posted October 20, 2020 #398 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hello, 15:00 in the UK so 10:00 in Miami and still no T&Cs. BUT! The UK website offer applies to departures only from Southampton and Barcelona. Or, more accurately, it only brings up Southampton and Barcelona departures. I do not know what other countries use the UK website nor their favoured departure ports so we are a bit in the dark here. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
