ONECRUISER Posted July 14, 2022 #26 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, taglovestocruise said: Check your past cruise history to make sure they did'nt miss one. We booked a very short cruise many years ago to get us over the hump for a 15 night transatlantic we were taking a few month later. Funny you should say that. First made Diamond Decades ago so thats not an issue, but during Conversion I'm one the Few that lost out on Points. This after Royal also had no History of my First Cruises from 80's. I saved all my Cruise Paperwork, sent them Copies and got Missing Cruises Straight, but am still shorted Points on Conversion. Oh Well, unless a new Top Tier Level is Created and I'm short a few Points doesn't matter Edited July 14, 2022 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stay home and drink a lot at those prices. If that is the only reason you are worried about being 1 pt. short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser 5452 Posted July 14, 2022 #31 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I was in the same situation. I just found the least expensive 3 day cruise to the Bahamas, problem solved. Had a fantastic time on that three day cruise. Easy peasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do audit. We lost out on making D by one cruise when they introduced the new point count and Emerald. So, we were Emerald for one cruise that should have made us Diamond. That's in the past and we knew the rules could change. In OP's case, the rules have been in place. Oh well, that's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, will I be stuck on the outside looking in? From what I’m hearing, since the change to the Diamond drink benefit, no one hangs out in the Diamond Lounge anymore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam0610 Posted July 14, 2022 #39 Share Posted July 14, 2022 \ We have the same math. Figured out after my Alaska cruise in August would be at 79 points, Took an 8 night cruise on Allure in May. Now have 73 points. Alaska cruise makes us Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While people that took 3-4 day cruises got more points. But, there was no solving that problem. We wrote to RCL but it did not go anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EN was about 45% the first week and 70% or so the second (Sp break, Easter). EN's DL isn't as big as HOTS, but HOTS passenger capacity is 2.25 times as large as EN. HOTS lounge is not 2.25 times as large as EN's. Prob more like 1.75 times plus on EN D+ can use the CL unlike HOTS and both were full on EN.
