Got my 3 points. Now at 1486. Almost halfway. Sad that Royal Pinnacles have jumped ahead.

"I want to get to zenith and never cruise on celebrity." Sounds more like the Pinnacle loyalty status match.

@conquesodor Glad it is a good change for you and others. We made a mistake for being loyal to Celebrity. When we decided to switch from Royal to Celebrity years ago, we were more than halfway from D+ to Pinnacle. In hindsight we should have stayed with Royal and made Pinnacle, we could now enjoy the bypass of levels and improved perks without spending a dime on Celebrity. However, we did look forward to earning our levels and perks by cruising with Celebrity. How naive.

Thanks all for the info.

We are new to Princess and looking to book a combined 18 day cruise. We would prefer booking as an 18 day vs booking as a 7 day and 11 day. The problem is that we want to choose our cabin. The 18 day only shows guarantees. There are plenty of cabins available for both 7 day and 11 day cruises. Seems like a very strange practice - marketing an 18 day cruise and not allowing the customer to choose a cabin. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you Laura for responding. I also do not see anything taken away. I see it as a loyal Celebrity cruiser that really enjoys cruising Celebrity but now bypassed level(perks) by Royal folks that may not have even tried Celebrity. I understand and appreciate your efforts in responding to all our questions.

Why are Retreat prices so outrageously high since removing gratuities and onboard credit? Seems like Retreat prices should have gone down a little.

What is the real reason for the Loyalty Status Match change? A way to offlload Pinnacles/Diamond+ to Celebrity? The change has no benefit to loyal Celebrity Captains Club members. We made it halfway to Zenith and are now looking elsewhere.

Hope you feel better. Thanks for the update on changes. A long shot but in Luminae have you seen a waiter named Alfred. He is amazing.
