SRF Posted March 7, 2022 #51 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The linked accounts show the points total of the highest person. So husband, wife, kids, all show the same points. Once the kids turn 18, the are automatically unlinked and they keep the status, but their points totals will revert to their actual number based on sailing. This is what you SEE. The persons actual points totals are carried behind the scenes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DandDM Posted March 8, 2022 #52 Share Posted March 8, 2022 While not directly related to the original topic, somewhat related! Earned the points for Diamond plus on last cruise (Navigator a couple weeks ago). My wife did not join me, however both our accounts updated to Diamond Plus status at the same time (yesterday). So this worked as advertised, no calls necessary. Do not have any linked minors to report on... Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drrich2 Posted March 10, 2022 Author #53 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Thanks for posting! I'm surprised to see that. I'd had the understanding your kids get your status but their points. On our last cruise, I think our daughter's Seapass card listed her status on her points, below my wife and mine, but it didn't have any significant impact so I didn't complain about it. If my wife and I are blessed to make diamond after our next hoped for cruise, that will be another story. I'd like our daughter to get it, of course.

She is now the same status with her own earned points, but her points show my total. Another child turned 18 recently. So he had my status and point count from when he turned 18. We recently cruised and the point count continued on and did not reset. But, my older son's account has his points and status just that, his points and status. He definitely had more points a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, my daughter's point count was wrong a few months ago. When I asked about it, they were actually seeing one number and her account was showing an entirely different number. But when cruise points were rewarded they got everything straighten out on her account. Tell them not to be surprised if the glitch gets fixed at some point. In other words, don’t plan around those numbers they know are wrong (ex. some folks book an extra short trip just to get to the next level before a big trip). I wonder if her cruise history shows her prior cruises accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohavemommy Posted April 9, 2022 #55 Share Posted April 9, 2022 My son inherited my Diamond status when he was under 18. Now, several years later, he still has the status, but not the point total. That is accurate with the number he has earned on his own. Daughter is Diamond in her own right, but also reflects her proper point total she sailed. Fast forward to now. Cruising with my granddaughter soon and we will see how her status reflects after her first sailing. Talked to the C&A Dept and the lady I spoke to insisted that they will only status match with only the father or mother at the request of the parent. So much for mixed family units. 🤦♀️ Stay tuned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to pay for 117 points worth of cruising to hit Pinnacle.

Cigar King Posted April 11, 2022 #62 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I don't think you can get Pinnacle without actually cruising, regardless of what your spouse/SO/parent has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little more complicated now, good luck. Even without swapping partners, it can be lucrative to seperate after the lead spouse attains pinnacle. Why you ask? The milestone cruise certificates. 😉 And that's why it's hard to do now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_G Posted April 12, 2022 #70 Share Posted April 12, 2022 From the inconsistency department, son inherited Diamond status from us. First cruise as an adult took his soon to be wife and received Diamond status. She was only Gold. We planned a family cruise after they married and his wife called Royal to upgrade her status to his only to be told his Diamond status was a mistake and bumped him back to Platinum. We told him to call back and send them his cruise card with Diamond status on it but apparently he was too busy for that so they both cruised Platinum. He and his family are Diamond now based on his points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
