Colorado Babe Posted May 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Has there been some temporary changes to the Crown and Anchor Program on board? I guess I've been out of touch on all these changes since COVID. I was told that Pinnacle members will be losing some benefits (Internet, Suite Lounge, Welcome Gifts) and such? Can someone confirm? I have not been successful in finding these changes. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give the boards a minute. They'll find a way to spin that into a negative. *Edited out an extra space.

davekathy Posted May 18, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'll wait until I'm on the ship to see if there is any changes to the C&A perks/benefits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted May 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I might have missed it, but, I haven't seen any suggestion that Royal might reduce/eliminate the internet benefit. Lounge access and gifts may be in play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandwannabee Posted May 18, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If you look at the crown and anchor benefits on the royal site, you will notice, no free internet days for any level, and no buy one specialty dinner, get one free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar King Posted May 18, 2021 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I believe that's the case. The list online has not been updated since 2017. CAS Member Benefits Grid (royalcaribbean.com) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted May 18, 2021 #16 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If I remember the thread correctly, all of the rumored changes were projected based on what RCL was doing in order to be able to do their sailings out of Singapore that somehow morphed into a fleetwide/worldwide reduction in benefits. Until RCL actually starts sailing out of its more traditional ports, it's anyone's guess what if anything will change. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This came from an RCI promotional email that a Pinnacle member received, (not me). The promotional emails were dated 2/3/21 and 5/17/21. At the bottom of the email, it listed the Pinnacle Benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
