KelJ Posted November 11, 2022 #76 Share Posted November 11, 2022 21 hours ago, VernRDH said: Just a thought about 15 yo son: when he turns 18, his status will change. He will only have the credits for cruises he has actually been on. This happened with DD, who is now 23. We were Diamond before she turned 18, but then her status changed because she had only earned Emerald. She just made Diamond this summer after our 9 night Adventure cruise booked during double points promo. We, however are now D+. This is not how it works. Your DD would stay diamond, but her points would reflect the actual number of points she earned. She does not go back to Emerald after turning 18. If this happened to you, it was a mistake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearJim Posted November 11, 2022 #77 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Do you get the Diamond perks on the cruise that gets you up to Diamond or do you have to wait till the next cruise for the perks to kick in? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You have to wait until the next cruise. You are not diamond until after the cruise is completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted November 12, 2022 Author #87 Share Posted November 12, 2022 2 hours ago, dad son team said: How about sending your wife solo. What a lovely surprise that would be for her I would love to but her schedule is not flexible and doesn’t allow her to sail when the fairs are cheaper, she is a kindergarten teacher, bless her heart. In the end we have decided to go a different route. My wife and son’s spring break do not line up with our daughters spring break in March. We have decided to do a seven day cruise on the Anthem the week after our daughters are home from college for spring break. So there will be my wife, son and I on the cruise and we will get connecting interior or balcony cabins. One of us will be in a room solo and get double points. That will get my wife or Myself 14 point and get us to 82 total, just past Diamond. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can tell the server/bartender that the voucher is from someone under age. That way they will not serve a drink to a minor and hopefully will be able to keep their job. That would be worth the price of the drink to me. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted May 17, 2023 Author #90 Share Posted May 17, 2023 FYI, I'm circling back to tell you what did end up working, which was a 7 night cruise in two interior cabins. As of March 2023 these were our points: Myself: 68 points Wife: 68 points Son 15 yrs old: 46 points My wife, son and I took a 7 night cruise on the Anthem in two connecting inside cabins. I was solo in one, and my wife and son were booked in the connecting cabin. So I got 14 points since I was solo, and my wife and son got 7 points each. Now, after the cruise all three of us are Diamond. Our actual points are shown below. Myself: 82 points Wife: 75 points Son 16 yrs old: 53 points Not sure if this helps anyone or not but just thought I would share. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to me since only one member of the household has to be Diamond (in your case) for the rest your immediate family/household to be Diamond but with less CAS points. Congratulations on making the big D. Now you have something new to look forward to on your next cruise. Edited May 17, 2023 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 21 and 19 now, but have 46 points on their own and will get another 7 in July so they are on their way... 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need a short 4 night sailing for my needs too. Now just how to figure out how to keep my daughters from getting jealous of their brother's Diamond status 😅 Dan If he doesn't reach Diamond on his own by the time he's 18, he'll revert to whatever level he is at. Just tell the girls to keep cruising! Maybe brother will share some drinks with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicfairy Posted May 17, 2023 #94 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We just hit diamond on our last cruise,3 yrs ago, and this coming one 8/24 we won't use the perks that everyone strives for like the drink vouchers. My DH is sober ( thank God) 2.5 yrs now. We'll just get the Refreshment package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you enjoy espresso-based coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos, you have complimentary access to the DL coffee machine. There are several perks unrelated to alcohol.
