monorail81 Posted December 22, 2022 #26 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I got the email about the voucher changes from 12:00am to 5:00am. But, not this one. Royal’s IT has taken the lead away from Disney as being the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted December 22, 2022 #27 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Hoping the towels and totes come back. On Oasis last week, they had nothing to give out. Just wine. I can use some more hot tub towels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as they don't get rid of the Chandon I'm good! I now get 3x bottles of that. One of my standing requests is Jean Luc Colombo cotes du rhone, a nice red wine. It just so happens that this label also makes a rose and a white. Sometimes they deliver the white. Sometimes they deliver the rose. I am happy with all of them. Try that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last B2B this past March we got eight of them...Sorry guys There’s a tote bag for reaching 340 points? Guess I missed that one… I have a really Cool hat from around 15 years ago, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never surprises me to see posts like this. I have to disagree with you here. The change to drink vouchers for D and D+ rather than all of us crowding in the lounge is definitely a change for the better. Of course, now the clock resets at 5am instead of midnight, so that will limit drinks on the last night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore it onboard a few months ago, and a cabin steward down the hall commented on it, saying he thought it was from about 25 years ago! I guess he has been on the job for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateUpNorth Posted December 22, 2022 #38 Share Posted December 22, 2022 From a lowly Gold who turned Platinum on Sunday, and who just filled out my post cruise survey.... I included the commentary that the C&A rewards are no incentive whatsoever below Diamond. So whilst those in our category appreciate being regaled with tales of free booze and tote bags and bath towels....... perhaps they're gonna do something to entice those down in steerage to stick with RCL to actually get to the Diamond level? I won't hold my breath! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted December 22, 2022 #39 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) What I want back is the ability to select it myself online. We have enough tote bags and towels. Currently for 7+ day cruises we get three bottles of wine. Edited December 22, 2022 by BND 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would indeed be so nice to simply make changes to those selections. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average family takes 1 big vacation a year. 7 or 8 nights. Diamond is 80 nights. The "loyalty" program basically says "give us 10 years of your vacation time and then we'll toss a few drinks your way" If that IS the enticement to stay loyal to royal.... it's garbage. Good luck to them. And this is from a fan of RCL. No offense but if you're already Diamond, Diamond+, Pinnacle.... you're likely locked in. The "loyalty" the corporate coffers need is from the lower levels. What in the Gold, Platinum, Emerald categories screams "don't shop MSC, or CCL or Norwegian" to you? Yes the ships are full but they need a way to make sure it's not 6000 one and done passengers each sailing.... times how many ships fleetwide? Maybe a "loyalty" revamp will help.... can't hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
