Toddcan Posted August 8, 2022 #103 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Pinnacle just happens. It's the journey, and not the destination. When it happens... - cool - enjoy the perks. But cruising "to get to pinnacle" probably isn't a thing until you are a handful of points away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like to pay for it, free is nice. Nothing else I care about, just the wifi all cruise long. Not worth pushing for .. when I get there, if ever, I do. Free Wifi really gets you nothing since half the time the Wifi doesn't work correctly...All free Wifi does is save you from visiting guest relations desk and asking for credit when your Wifi wasn't working. Time and Aggravation Saver. Edited August 8, 2022 by Jimbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness Voom usually works, it just isn't what people expect anymore. If a time traveling cruiser teleported from 2015 to the worst ship in the fleet for internet today, that time traveler would likely think Voom is great while half the people who bought it for the same cruise would be complaining. We changed while Voom did not. I'm sure in a another few years Royal will do something about it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling DH that he will reap the rewards of my selfless hard work in November. Our cruises (all double points) since the restart have netted us 288 points so far, and we have 120 points worth of cruises still booked in 2022. That's a free milestone cruise just for what we will sail this year. BTW, we used the last milestone free cruise to knock off $4,000+ on a 7-night Eastern Caribbean on Wonder for next year.🤑 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time and Aggravation Saver. You get to decide what YOU like not what I like. It still is my favorite perk. Not much of a drinker. But I like having wifi. .. yes even bad in and out wifi is better than none. No wifi is what i didnt like about cruising. Hard to justify just because I dont like the feeling of being cut off. . .especially when the tv news didnt work the whole week. Some look forward to the feeling of being disconnected, I dont. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you meant the cost to see Alaska, Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Caribbean, Central America, New England, Europe, Greenland, Mexico, Hawaii, New Zealand, Panama Canal and South America? Not bad really considering the places I've seen and memories I've made. But I suppose I could have stayed home and seen all these destination from Youtube videos. If only Youtube was available when I started cruising. Think of the money I could have stayed by staying home and watching the internet. I might have earned YouTube Gold status by now. 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted August 8, 2022 #113 Share Posted August 8, 2022 We will be able to use the DP340 by the end of the year. I dont know if we'll use it very much but it'll be nice to have if needed. Pinnacle is a bit far away. Not a goal but might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling DH that he will reap the rewards of my selfless hard work in November. Unfortunately, I had 3 solo cruises from Sydney cancelled for a couple of years. They have now been moved to 2023, out of the double points promo window. That’s 148 points. In my hopeful, but realistic mind, I’m still hoping they honor that promo in 2023. They were all cancelled by Royal and were all L&S. I will still get 74, but 148 would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply ask your cabin attendant for the robes...though I think it is on availability for Platinum. Or so I remember ...it's been too long. Never hurts to ask!
