Platinum??

My favorite platinum perk is the free internet minutes. The amount depends on the length of your cruise. Our last cruise was 27 days so we each got 500 minutes. Since my husband doesn't care a thing about them I got his minutes which gave me 1000 minutes! It allowed me to stay in touch with our daughter & my sisters through Facebook messenger.

Love having the free wifi! Don't care so much about the rest....

 

Don't knock having a nicer place to wait for disembarkation. Sitting at a table with a glass of whatever and a small nosh beats being stuck in the Casino or sitting along the wall outside of Explorer's. It's so much nicer to wait comfortably when the time draws near.

We are sailing on the Royal Princess.:cool: We both are Platinum members. Are there any bennies for being Platinum? ie: parties, wifi, embarkation and disembark?

 

All RUBY benefits plus:

 

Complimentary Cruise Atlas^

Every year you will automatically receive a copy of our Princess Cruise Atlas. It includes details on all itineraries and sailings for that year, making it easy for you to plan ahead.

Priority Check-In

When you arrive at the port, don’t wait in line. You, along with your family or guests that are traveling with you in the same stateroom will be invited to use the Priority Check-In desk to help expedite your embarkation.

Platinum Disembarkation Lounge

In recognition of your loyalty, and to make your last morning with us more enjoyable, we invite Platinum Members to use the Platinum Disembarkation Lounge, offering light refreshments and peace while you await disembarkation.

Complimentary Internet Credit

Each Platinum Princess Cruises Captain’s Circle member will receive a complimentary Internet credit to be used either on the computers in our Internet Cafés or wireless Internet on the passenger’s personal wireless device. The amount of complimentary Internet is determined by the length of the sailing.

  • Voyages 7 days or less, 150 minutes
  • Voyages 8-20 days, 250 minutes
  • Voyages 21+ days, 500 minutes

As a Platinum Captain’s Circle Member you will be recognized as such when you initially log on to the Internet onboard. Upon the initial log on you will see a screen which shows you how many complimentary minutes you are eligible to receive. In addition, you will have the opportunity to select more minutes at the available rates. This offer is only available at the time of the initial log on.

 

Only usage exceeding the allotted amounts will be charged to your onboard folio. The Internet activation fee of $3.95 is waived for Platinum and Elite Princess Captain’s Circle Members.

A better disembarkation lounge with drinks and small snacks.

 

That being "better" depends on the number of platinum/elite/suite passengers on the cruise. When over half the ship has that status, a better place to wait is anywhere but the special lounge.

Right. I have never been able to find a seat for us in the Platinum Lounge for disembarking.

Except if you are on a transfer at disembarkation you have to go to the meeting place for that transfer, so can't sit in the platinum lounge!!!

Like the atlas to look at deck plans on paper.

 

 

Priority Check in has been nice. Saved a bit of time.

 

 

Disembarcation is nightmare not matter what, the lounge helps a bit.

 

 

 

Platinum party is nice, don't do it each night but once or twice, nice.

 

 

Like to upgrade to the Platinum Insurance but that is included at the previous level.

 

 

Of course the internet minutes are the big money saver.

 

 

Enjoy!
