[quote name='CruiseOrLoseMe']Can someone summarize (or point me to) what we think the change will be...PLEASE? :) I hear about this change but can't reverse engineer this thread to make out what we think this change is.

We're about to go Diamond after the cruise next week (1/15). If they grandfather us in as Platinum based on 1/12 status ... I'm going to blow a gasket :D:mad:.

I did have the following exchange with the RCCL C&A online chat in case you're interested. What do you think?

The Crown & Anchor Society members are very important to us as a company and any changes to the program would be driven by our quest for continuous improvement and based on member input. Further, as stated in the past, current members would be grandfathered in at their existing tier level. Thank you for your loyalty to Royal Caribbean and rest assured that we are committed to providing you the best cruise experience in the industry, including our Crown & Anchor Society."[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I guess you can't say more other than the official language so I'll just have to hope you've thought this circumstance through. See you guys in a few days! Happy new year![/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

Wow, Marco ... can you say "Canned Response?" YIKES.

You can find the changes (at least as they have been reported to be) on a separate, now-locked, thread called "CAS Changes." Here's the link: [URL]http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1325669&highlight=cas+changes[/URL]

[quote name='CptSticky']I got the same thing, plus, I can't even view my reservation that sails in two days:eek:[/quote]
I think when you are that close to a cruise the reservation is not there anymore? I seem to remember something about it going off the site a couple of days ahead of the date for the cruise.

Have a great cruise and you will be in the know on the new C&A changes with being on board, I hope! We have found some LA don't know about changes etc......

That sounded like Rudolph when Herbie, Yukon and The Snow Monster went over the cliff.

But relax, Cruise Credits, like Bubmles bounce. Now they are back.

I, on the other hand, can see everything: cruise credits, C&A level, complete cruise history.

My most recent credits haven't posted yet, but that's not surprising, since I only stepped off the Navigator 4 days ago. :D

[/QUOTE]
[quote name='thelion']
Gold - starts at 1
Platinum - starts at 30
Emerald - starts at 55
Diamond - starts at 80
Diamond + - starts at 175 (or 170, I cannot remember)
Pinnacle - starts at 700

Balcony discounts will start at Platinum and progressively get higher, as per usual. [/quote]

Benefits for each level are in the "purely speculative" stage.

(the numbers are "nights at sea")

[quote name='B-52']Gee...It's going to be lonely around here after the 12th:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

haha ... not a chance !! I was a flight attendant for a major airline ... once in awhile we'd get behind sched due to weather .. mechanical .. etc. Passengers would ALWAYS say .. "I'm NEVER flying this airline again!!" Two weeks later I'd see some of those very same one's back again .. happened time and time again. Listen .. RCI "may" be changing their loyalty program ...it is NOT the end of the world . IF you are unhappy then just move on to another cruise line... there ARE others !!! Easy fix !! I have reread these posts and "some" here are so mad, unhappy, and miserable with RCI ...(especially since the last change ) ......then DON"T sail on them ! End of story .
