each? are you in different cabins? M

Common occurrence. But somewhat exciting the first time M

I believe it is per person per night. m

Blades is correct for both the four night and three night Allure cruises. Here is the 3 night entertainment lineup. The four night adds Blue Planet.

Low 30 pinnacles currently on Allure (four night). We have full access to suite lounge/coastal kitchen (B-L-D) but can only make dinner reservations one day at a time, based on availability. Information to that effect is listed on the benefits document in the cabin info. We will also be here for the weekend 3 night. I understand there will be 60+ pinnacles on board. Not sure of access for that cruise. Good food, good entertainment, good staff. m

Regarding dress, dining, entertainment etc., i was interested in what the ship will be offering during the full cruise, I’ll check a few of the blogs after the cruise sets sail. m

For those on the full voyage, what is expected to be a normal routine? Are there formal nights, and if so, are they as frequent as other types of cruises? Is there expected to be entertainment every night? Is the dining menu similar to what we currently have on board (several courses each evening). It would be super exciting to be on the full voyage, but I know that I could not keep up with that type of routine, plus touring for nine months. m

You and your family in Royal/Star lofts will have full access and priority over other groups. Why will you think that others in lower category accommodations, or those not in a suite would have priority? No worries. Enjoy your cruise. m

every 350 pts. 1050 is any balcony on a Caribbean cruise ( or a trade in value) Today the price of a cruise makes the cruise worth much more than the trade in. My Icon cruise is worth over $7500!. Then at 1400 pts, it is a JS M

Forgot to book a milestone from last December! Thought I had done it already and wondered why the cruise had not shown up in upcoming cruises. LUCKILY, I realized it two weeks ago and booked it before it expired. Icon for March 2025, a nice way to try Icon for free. M

My thoughts as well. M

You need new friends 😀 🚢 😀 M

nevermind. Sure wish there was a delete button on CC m

Seems, they have always recognized those hitting the specific benchmarks (every 350 above 700) like 1050, 1400, 1750, 2100 etc. We've been recognized on the cruises we crossed over the specific thresholds. They didn't call it anything, just announced the point threshold and gave us a certificate. M

That Emerald debacle probably got someone fired. I was D+ (well more like D++ or a little more than halfway to Pinnacle) when Emerald was created so bypassed it completely. The question of the day. If everyone comes up with categories implying, they are close to pinnacle status, ( I saw a post where someone bragged they would Pinnacle in 2025!) why is there so much Pinnacle bashing? Pinnacle Envy? M

So, is that D+, or is that some new category? 😀 For those at 175 -699 points I've seen D+, D++, D+++, Almost Pinnacle, Pinnacle in training, (and now) A little more than half a pinnacle! Of course, all those are simply D+. Ya'll are so creative. M

Not sure what low is. P's had no suite lounge access. I think there were about 60 P's plus the D+ upper tier. Terrific lunch of filet and large lobster tail. M

The poster ( BND) wrote that it was a free galley tour. Nice! M

On Mariner last month, they had a combined D+(upper tier) and Pinnacle - Cheers with an officer lunch. I like the combined lunch. M

Galley tour? Great. Sailed Jewel in September and as far as I know - no tour was offered. Would be great if tours were reinstated. All I see the for a fee, all access tour. M

It would be interesting (but impossible) to learn what those who opt out of the daily gratuities actually provide to staff. Is this a way to justify lowering the amount ones pays for gratuity, or are those who opt out simply providing the full $18 pp/day to those who they know assist them? M

North Star, Ropes.........Up next....... Flow rider, slides, mini golf, pool pass, lounge chair rental, rock wall, shows, food at Promenade cafe/Sorrento's/El Loco Fresh, daily room cleaning, more $$ extra items at dinner....... The list can go in for ever. I don't think we've seen the end of charges and changes. M

Agree. We had a party of 7 at a land-based restaurant just last week. When the bill came there was a gratuity placed on the bill (for parties 6+). We paid it. It NEVER occurred to us question how much went to the server, hostess, chef, kitchen help, restaurant maintenance staff, dishwasher etc. Why do people obsess over this in regard to cruising? Maybe folks are looking for a way to justify or rationalize their reducing gratuities. M
