Trying to gauge the amount of new Lounge Eligible cruisers that will be anointed in 2021.

And yes, I know there is no level known as Dbl Pin, I just wanted the Pinnacle members a chance to play along😉

None of the above... Starting at D+ and ending at D+. It's a long way in between.

You really needed a "Does nothing for me" category to capture the true picture of what this promo means to CC users.

Data is incomplete without this. 

 

1845 people have viewed this thread.  68 people have voted.  So using Cruise Critic Math, 1,777 people fall in the "Does Nothing For Me" category.  You can't argue the math.

No change for me even if I take the cruises that I have booked for 2021. And I have doubts about that happening.

[Domino D]

Seriously.  Looking at the numbers, if this happens, the Lounge is going to look like a Delta Flight in Atlanta when they call Medallions to board, and Zone 1 has 12 confused people.

Freedom used to do breakfast😉

Far inferior than the lunch.

Unless I am missing something (don't care and never have accepted the meal with an officer invitation) unless it's a ship that has Coastal Kitchen there really isn't all that much advantage to being Pinnacle. Or is there other than bragging rights?

You get a nifty name tag to wear.

I’ve never understood the obsession by some regarding the meal with an officer. 
 

They should be asking to eat with us. 😂

Nothing against anyone who enjoys this, but this is one thing I will never participate in. If it was the Captain.. I would still pass. Maybe I am overlooking something about it that would be beneficial, but I just can't see it.

Generally the boss here is on the other side of questions. I have to often ask for a Credit Card. 😇

Isn't life easy when someone takes all the guess work out of things.  There are times when I'm on the phone with the cable company or someone, and the Boss says give me the phone.  All I can do is tell the person on the other end, "This is your last chance, once I hand the phone off all I can do is pray for your sole."

 

Well worth the trade of being asked "Did you spend $7 at Target?" when the credit card bill comes in.

A little bit different but I understand.

I'll be some where in the middle between Diamond and Diamond+ now. 125 after my 11 day Anthem cruise(Jan 2022). Maybe I'll actually hit D+ before I retire.

It's not always about the food😉

 

I recall one where we were at same table with Captain and he had choice words about the merchants near Orient Beach that were disrupting traffic between ship and beach. In a nutshell he said they were punishing the cruise line passengers to try and negotiate rent increase. He was not in their corner

Sure you can, you are assuming drive by posters will even take the time to fill out a 1 question survey😉

 

Plus do you think those 1845 views are 1845 unique members. Also can non members vote?

 

Way to many holes in your theory

Bingo! Given the cruises and points lost on 2020, I won’t be far from where I would have been anyway. I bet that is the case with a lot of folks. I’m not convinced that by the end of 2021 that there will be many more folks at any level than there was going to be anyway if they sailed in 2020. 
 

Much ado about nothing.......

Not as exciting as the officer in charge of the laundry who explained how every item was folded by hand.

Yea, D+ does get some obscure 'officers'

[John&LaLa]

Best thing about Pinnacle lunch is watching people arrive and get annoyed where they are sitting😉

 

And if you are lucky, you might see someone trying to move place cards around. 🤣🤣 

 

Key word is trying😉

Well sure if you are going to just disregard clear logic.  So you think it's more logical that some people just pull up a thread and look at it, without taking action (like voting or posting), and that some people visit the site without creating an account or logging in.  Okay, agree to disagree.

I’ve probably viewed this thread at least half a dozen times reading the new posts.  I didn’t get to vote 6 times.

There are also a lot of people who couldn't vote at all because there wasn't an appropriate choice.

I was thinking the same. 

[soremekun]

I'm currently at 27 points.  I have two remaining cruises on Royal for 2021.  They are 7 nights each.  These will push me to Emerald.  Makes me semi reconsider my choice to L&S my February 2021 cruise to March 2022.

 

This means I will "experience" three different status levels next year.

Agreed,  but it’s not near  the 1845 they are trying to say it is.
