W0rstPlayerNA Posted December 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) Good morning, and Merry Christmas! I have spent quite a bit of time searching through various previous/old posts to find the answers I'm after and I'm still not 110% confident... Figured I'd take the leap, join the page, and make my first post! 😅 So, to give some backstory and clarify, I went on two RCI cruises prior to turning 18 years of age, in which my parents were emerald status at the time. They had created a crown & anchor society account for myself, and I retained the emerald status they had. After I turned 18, my points reverted back to zero and started over... I still retain emerald status, but have since gained 22 points from cruising on my own... I actually have 36 total days of cruising (14 days prior to turning 18, and then 22 days on my own - but it only reflects 22 currently on my crown and anchor account) My question is this; do I have to regain an entire 80 points of my own to achieve diamond status since I started my points back at 0, Or do I just need to achieve 25 total of my own points to achieve diamond status, since I retained emerald (55 points) in which case a mere 3 days cruise and I will be at diamond... Which is my hope 🤣🤣 Thanks so much in advance and happy holidays 💙 Edited December 25, 2023 by W0rstPlayerNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-enough-cruising Posted December 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Upon turning 18, your points should not have reverted to 0, you should still have the number of points you earned on the cruises you physically took. if your parents were Diamond prior to your 18th birthday, then you are Diamond now, regardless of whether or not you cruised with them when they were Diamond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha! I actually have 36 total cruise days at this moment - 14 of which we're the two cruises prior to me turning 18 So in that case right now I technically should have 36 total points I double checked with my parents, and it seems that I actually fell short by a year... They didn't hit diamond until the following year when I was 19. Edited December 25, 2023 by W0rstPlayerNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will advance to Diamond Plus when you have 175 points, just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they should be Emerald with 36 points, assuming all cruises were in a balcony or below and no extra points promo applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted December 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 25, 2023 To figure out your points, you need to know what dates you cruised, the cruise length (you say 36 days) and the cabin type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know your ships and date of sailing you can go to your account and update for any missing cruises, otherwise call the C&A desk 800.526.9723. Happy Holidays to you,🎁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
