gotcha3 Posted May 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2023 This is kind of a first world question, but I was wondering. I assume the info on your Xpress Pass documents will be the same as on your SeaPass card (room key). That being said, would the SeaPass of an Elite Plus guest show Elite Plus, or just Elite?

CaroleSS Posted May 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I don't think your CC status shows up on the Seapass card.....but it's been a while since we've sailed. Plus, why would they put that on your card and what difference does it make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare horseymike Posted May 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) I have kept my Seapass from a previous cruise. " Classic" is on the Seapass. That was my status at that time. Edited May 21, 2023 by horseymike mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertaCruisers Posted May 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) We are Elite Plus and I can confirm that our express pass for our upcoming cruise includes "Elite Plus". I also looked back at a picture of our seapass and there is a place for Captain's Club status and it says Elite Plus also.

Thank you, G3 Your CC tier level is on both your Xpress pass and your SeaPass card. In your case it should be Elite Plus. If it's not correct on your SeaPass card go speak with the CC concierge once on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the correct CC tier level on your SeaPass card has nothing to do with flaunting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that because certain offers are preloaded on your card, depending on your loyalty status. For example, on Royal, Diamond members get 4 free drinks loaded on their SeaPass.

Different CC levels get different perks and events. The status is on the card so the host/hostess can quickly note that you are eligible to attend. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I don’t care if my SeaPass card says Elite - as long as it says Suite Guest in large lettering. 😄 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows that you qualify for Admittance to Elite level events such as breakfast 2.

It saves on embarrassment and hassle when a passenger attempts to enter an event that isn’t for them. Similarly, some cards are color-coded. It shows the maître d’ immediately that a non-Aqua guest is trying to dine at blue because their card is the wrong color. Same for going to the Concierge lunch. The personnel at the door can see right away that you have a gold-colored key card and admit you to the lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captains Club host doesn’t know all of the eligible members by sight yet, so you are asked to show your Sea pass card. If it doesn’t say elite or higher, you will be politely told that the event is not for you. Otherwise, the host would have to look up everyone’s names to determine who can attend. It’s much easier to have the Captains Club level shown on the seat pass card. And just to be clear, you are not required to attend that breakfast but if you choose to it’s a nice way to start your morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are always impressed how quickly the CC concierge(s) recognizes people and no longer required to show our SeaPass cards during the cruise for the different events.

Octavias Posted May 21, 2023 #23 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I’m a first time cruiser, so I have 0 points and no status. I sure hope I don’t accidentally try to go to a restricted event. Lol, that would be embarrassing! So there is a breakfast event, what else should I be on the look out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any signage at the entrance of any venue that says something to the effect that's it's a elite, elite plus and zenith event. The elite and above continental breakfast is not held in the MDR or the Oceanview Cafe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 21, 2023 #25 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Well, very occasionally tge breakfast is in the MDR. It was on Millennium last month. Because there were too many Elite and above to use Tuscan. It was just for one cruise, and the signage was clear. Also there was a doorkeeper.
