Some very helpful people on the "blog that shall not be named" informed me of this and C&A confirmed it. I turn diamond midway through my Jan 16th harmony. I have a Jan 24th mariner a day after disembarking. I was informed I could go to guest services the first day and get my benefits activated, so that way I won't have to get the UBP. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure it's the Loyalty Ambassador that does this, not Guest Services. (At least, that's who I had to go to on Majesty when I turned Diamond during the first leg of a B2B.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampurp85 Posted October 8, 2021 #54 Share Posted October 8, 2021 @brillohead Thanks, for the clarification. I am sure guest service would have sent me to the proper people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all the stuff I learn on CC (which is where I learned about going to see the Loyalty Ambassador!)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off B2B solo 9 nights on INDY - and I made a trip to the Bowels of the SHIP 😄 - Deck 2 Fwd - to visit twice with C & A rep Alejandra - she was quite nice and there were only a couple of other folks waiting, and nice chairs to wait IN ! - She helped me by sending an email to ??? higher ups ?? to get clarification on my Dbl C & C points from August - I did a B2B on FREEDOM - fist leg Solo, royal upped to Jr Suite - second leg had a roomie, and also royal upped to Jr Suite - I did not get the same C & A benefits, even with a roommate - know on SOLO I would get Double DOUBLE - but also maybe ? some question on the Royal UP deal - As otherwise mentioned - I am now Emerald, awaiting the points to post, and inching up to Diamond, likely on my first of 2 Nov cruises - Thanks for all the hints !

deliver42 Posted October 8, 2021 #57 Share Posted October 8, 2021 got off the Ovation on Friday 09/17 as Emerald, and by Tuesday, my status changed to Diamond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you! I’m still waiting. There seems to be no rhyme or reason why some of the passengers on my sailing have received their points and others have not. I’m curious if there is a common denominator. Tier level? Room category ? Past cancelled cruise? It is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a big issue, just somewhat frustrating. I’m sure it will work out in the end somehow. I’m giving it a bit before trying to contact them again. "It’s not a big issue,"lol,just relax you will get your points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed twice since the restart and each time it has taken a little over a week to post (and we sailed in a suite each time and were anxious to make sure all of the points were added). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you RoyalUp, you do not get the points of the new cabin. You get the points of what you originally booked. So, with a roommate, you would get two points per night. Solo, you would get four points per night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you get the points for the cabin you originally booked. First leg solo you get 4pn not 6pn. Second leg you get 2pn not 4pn. I would have thought the C&A person would know how it works!

Mikew0805 Posted October 9, 2021 #63 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Pre covid it seemed it was about 10 days. The five I have taken since restart I am getting at about 6-7 days post return. I got off the Odyssey on Oct 3, and last night the points were not there. They are there this morning so that is 6 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted October 9, 2021 #64 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Quite obvious that everything is taking longer now....staff shortages are hurting all businesses. Things operate differently now in Covid times...the biggest difference each of us has to learn to accomplish...is patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired LEO Posted October 9, 2021 #66 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've been on 12 sailings since June and have received the points in 5 - 6 days for each one. And amazingly they've been correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been trying to get there since March 2020. 12+ cruises cancelled since then. We needed 10 more points and got 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
