I do as the benefits accriued are woth $1k+ starting with the solo supplement and balcony discounts. Ps, I understand that X does not offer solo discounts, just wondering if they offer balcony discounts and 2X points for solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So me in a Concierge cabin = 10 points per night. Sometimes there are/were single special offers (especially during Covid) when double cabins were available to solos at half the couple's rate. But this is more a feature of low booking numbers than of altruism. Regards, Cublet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted June 8 #431 Share Posted June 8 2 hours ago, orville99 said: They never home ported any ships out of PC; DW physically can’t travel by car for more than an hour or so without major discomfort so Miami and FLL were problematic; we also can’t fly any more so having a cruise line that only spends half the year in Florida was a major issue. Had X ported in PC, we would have booked the majority of our fall, winter, and spring B2B cruises on X. Now that they have a ship in PC and we have Brightline available to Miami and FLL, X is where all of our future bookings are going. Glad it will work out. We have an 8 hour drive to the nearest port or more often an air flight. We don't mind the drive to PC, (much easier than to Tampa) but most all other cruises are a flight and all the added expenses. We took several X cruises over the years, so we flew to South Florida or Europe for those cruises. Sailing X from PC in early 2025. Enjoy your Celebrity cruises. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I expect you’d have gotten one from RCI If your RCI status had changed. RCI knows you were informed of the new loyalty matching program by two corporate partners. Plus there info about the program on the Internet, which you well know as evidenced by this thread. What more could an RCI email add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were D or D+, do you think they would have bothered letting me know that my benefits had increased. My Pin benefits increased substantially, and they never said squat.

nelblu Posted June 8 #443 Share Posted June 8 1 hour ago, cruise wizard said: We have never received a balcony discount. That is why I'm loyal to Royal. As D+, I get a balcony discount of $250/$188 for a 7 niter and $350/$263 for a longer cruise. The lower amount is the reduction due to the solo supplement discount, when available.

Do you get notified either from the Loyalty Ambassador or Concierge of your on-board benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
