When does a child get adult's Crown & Anchor status update?

Then he must have cruised without you knowing it 

LOL. I don't recall him disappearing for 5 or 6 days. But even if he did, wouldn't we all have the same status?

 

The only thing I can come up with is, 5 years ago we sailed on IOS for 5 nights. My husband and son have the same first name, different middle name. Sometime before the cruise I noticed that on the confirmation my husband's C&A number was listed under both of their names. I called to have my son's number put under his name. It was sometime after that cruise that my husband's had gained extra points. So I don't know if somehow my son's points were applied to my husband's account. I know it doesn't make sense, but nothing makes sens about it.

It makes sense ... it's RCI IT (RCI = Royal [is] Consistently Inconsistent).  😄

so my dd has sailed with me since 2006 and is diamond. she is now 20. does that mean that if she sails without me she isnt diamond just because i paid for the cruises?

Doesn't unlinking a partner revert the status to actual earned points status?

Hard to say, that's the theory

It did for me when I was unlinked from my wife.

 

She had 146 points, I had 137.  I never called to unlink but C&A accounts got all messed up with the same e mail being on all 4 accounts and kids turning 18 so 3 of us had to have new accounts created.  Since we were both Diamond I never bothered to link our accounts.  Mine was set to the 137 hers at 146.  

 

Not sure if it would be different if we had kept the same account numbers and unlinked or not.

So if two single people who each happen to be Pinnacle get into a relationship do they become double Pinnacle?  Asking for a friend.  🤣

Yep, 21 ahead of her now. She will sail one cruise where I'm D+ and she's still D.

No, they become "extra" special [points don't double] Pinnacle.  😛

They used to call that the Pinnacle Divorce. 

 

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

I'm available for Pinny linking😇

No, they keep the status.  But they revert to their own earned points.

So SO of a D gets linked, SO gets D.  Sails a 3 night cruise.  They split up.  SO still has D, but with only 3 points, so a LONG way from D+.

Somehow my husband has 5 more points than the rest of us. He turned platinum before we did.  It's weird. If we go in and look at our accouns we all have the same amount of points. But his total shows 5 more points. 

 

The accounts are not linked.  If they were linked, they would all show the same points, that is the point level of the highest earned points.

If you made D before she turned 18, and your accounts were linked, she should be D.

 

She can log into her C&A account see what her status is.

I called back when his level changed and they said we're all linked. I know at least one of us is linked to our kids because they've earned points when we cruised without them. 

 

He doesn't have more earned points, he's never cruised without me. He has 5 random points that don't even show when you look at his cruise history.

Meant to edit, not quote 🙄

Royal doesn't care who paid for the cruise, only whose butt was actually on the cruise.

If your DD has accrued 80 or more points on her own (meaning she has cruised that much, regardless of who paid), she is still Diamond.

If your DD didn't cruise that much, but was linked to your account before she turned 18yo AND you turned Diamond/achieved 80+ points before she turned 18yo, she is still Diamond, even if she herself doesn't have 80 points.
