The idea of the loyalty programs is to get us to keep booking our cruises. If the motivation is to attain a higher level for better perks, then you would think they would add more levels between both D and D+, as well as between D+ and P. They added E.

I have been thinking that I wanted to try this, and now I am convinced. I have a $175 OBC on one of my upcoming cruises, so it would be like doing it almost for free. DH does not drink wine, so I wonder if I will be going solo on this one? :cool:

Great review!

 

Quick question. If we share the table with another family at dinner and they decide to not eat in the MDR that night, will the staff place a family with us who requested MTD? Does that mean you could potentially have a new family eating with you ever night if they decide to eat elsewhere? I'm confused.

Unless things have changed since my last cruise, the answer is NO.

The seating areas for regular (1st or 2nd seating) dining and MTD are separate sections of the MDR. You will not have MTD people placed at your table. After 1st seating, then they clear the tables, and reset fro 2nd seating.

Sorry, I guess what I meant was the number of Diamond members, Emerald members, etc. I saw earlier in the thread that C&A was 6 million. That Pinnacle had 163 and D+ was 5500. Was really curious about the other tiers.

There is little difference between Emerald and Platinum in benefits. I was wondering why they created it....

They were implying that there were too many diamond members when they started cutting benefits. I was wondering how many was too many.

And if you were going to create more tiers, why not between Diamond to Diamond plus? That is a huge gap compared to platinum to diamond.

Did any of you actually find out what the count is for Diamond, Emerald, and Platinum? I wonder why they added Emerald, but did not add anything in between Diamond/Diamond+ and Diamond+/Pinnacle?
