Princess will make changes add other tiers soon it won't be If it will be When. Holland America added 5 Star Mariner, Royal Caribbean added Emerald between Palatium & Dimond tier. These changes took place many years ago. Cruise lines are getting "top heavy" with old loyalty. The Cruise Lines/Corps are looking for new/more revenue. They want people that are new to cruising. That will pay for all the extras/perks that someone with the higher tier privilege get free. << that is just one of the many reasons to update/make changes to (loyalty program) already in place.
