C&A Points ~ more than 1-for-1

[Tina99]

I recently returned from my first Diamond level cruise.  My points were 81 on boarding Allure, and I booked a balcony just for me (I wanted to cruise solo and the price was fantastic).  Planning my next cruise, my points are now at 105.  The list of C&A benefits does not indicate more than 1-for-1 points, so why did my points increase so much?  Please know I am most certainly absolutely thrilled about it, though.

you get a second point for being a solo cruiser and really paying for two people anyway.  you don't get them if you get a single cabin or a special solo deal though.

More information needed.  If you booked as a solo, you get 2 points per night.  If you booked while RC was offering their double points promotion, you’d have gotten 4 points per night.  So you got 24 points, was it a 6 night cruise?

It's hard to give advice when so little information was given.  For example:

 

1.) Booking date: was it done when we were getting double points?

2.) Cabin category: each category has a certain number of points associated with it per night

3.) Were you a solo traveler?

#2 and #3 were answered in the 2nd sentence of the OP.

 

"I booked a balcony just for me (I wanted to cruise solo and the price was fantastic)."

Most likely a 6 night cruise booked on/before 9/30/21 or a 12 night cruise booked after 9/30/21.

So sorry for not including this info.  It was a six-night cruise. I don’t know if there was a double-points promo at time of booking. 
All of you have been very helpful. Thank you 😊

Poocher, you must be correct. Thank you.

Was the cruise booked prior to Sept 30 2021?

Cruises booked no later than 9/30/2021 and sailing by 12/31/2022 get the double points promotion.   Normally a solo cruiser booking a double occupancy cabin gets 2 points per night and if in a junior suite or full suite an additional point for 3 per night.  So with the double points promotion you would get 4 points per night in a balcony or 6 points per night in a JS or higher.
