Crew's Shipmate

I would be very surprised if anyone loses status, but if they are no longer going to use the Celebrity "point" system then who knows where things will end up? Maybe if the new system would demote some people they would be kept at their current level?

Penny, the newly-hired loyalty/booking person.

I was aboard Onward for their transatlantic cruise Miami to Grand Canary, disembarking a few days ago. At the Top Cruisers Event, the top three cruisers were ranked by days (#1 was 681 days - impressive!); it was briefly mentioned that counting by days (not points) would be part of the new loyalty program for Azamara, starting on March 20th. I went the next day to ask about the new program, and was told the following: - Cruises on Celebrity would be separated out and removed from Azamara's system, and Azamara cruises would be removed from Celebrity's system. (Note that I do not believe that Celebrity will remove Azamara cruises from their current totals, but I guess we will see.) - Status levels would be based on days sailed on Azamara, unlike the current Azamara/Celebrity point system. - It would probably take time for all Azamara accounts to be updated (i.e. not every account would be ready to view with accurate information on March 20th). - They were unsure (or did not want to disclose) the number of days associated with each status level. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
