CruisingGalPunch Posted July 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I achieved diamond plus status in Dec. and have not received the diamond plus membership kit containing the recognition pin, D+ luggage tags, etc. I inquired with C&A a couple of months ago and was told that the kits were on backorder with no estimate of a shipping date. I would appreciate hearing from any diamond+ member(s) who encountered this or a similar problem and how it was resolved. I realize that the diamond jubilee celebration in Dec. impacted the number of diamond members moving up to diamond+, but 7 months seems ample time to receive the recognition.

alexkrn46 Posted July 10, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2011 My husband lost his Diamond Plus pin on our last cruise, he was told that they were on special order. I think you have been patient , I would call again, especially if you have another cruise. When you call ask to speak to the Diamond Plus Desk.

firstplacechef Posted July 10, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I called a couple of times and was finally told by a C&A rep that their distributor was being changed due to inordiante backorder time and that they were looking for a new one. This was after he spoke with the person that is in charge of the program...or so he said. He said some of the ships have the Diamond pins, but none have the Diamond Plus at this time. Bottom line is they are still on backorder for Diamond and Diamond Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is odd we made D+ this past March and we received the kit in the mail sometime late April early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teajak Posted July 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Received ours after the third call to C&A. I wouldn't call it a kit, 2 plastic luggage tags, the pins and a welcome letter. Someone had hand written the date of my last call at the top of the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted July 10, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Yep....in our case 4 tags and 4 pins and a letter....but I never had to call or anything....our account updated and a month later I received everything in the mail. We made D+ several years ago and received 2 pins and 2 luggage tags. One tag broke, and we called C&A a few times for a replacement and were told they cannot send out additional D+ recognition items. Wish we were sent 4 tags to begin with although the D+ perks for balcony discounts and on board perks are much greater than a luggage tag or pin. I think my husband wore the pin once, after just becoming D+ , but has not worn one in the past few years of cruising. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondSuiteCruiser Posted July 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2011 We made D+ in Jan and I emailed C&A first, then I called and we just received ours 4 days ago. It also took about 6 mos to get our crystal block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told the same thing and have been waiting nearly 10 months now. I am not sure what is actually going on but it sure would be nice if RCCL would get their act together.

39august Posted July 10, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2011 We have been D+ for a few years. Never received a "kit", just a letter. I asked for luggage tages a while back, like a couple of years ago, and was told they were no longer given out. Hmmm. Maybe I'll ask again on my Freedom cruise in Aug. I would like to have those luggage tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another took two flights to break. We don't use them anymore for flights. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntiedodo Posted July 18, 2011 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2011 We also made D+ 7 months ago but never received anything from C&A!!! We are getting REALLY fed up with RCI. If they cannot get something as small as luggage tags and pins out in a timely manner, why should we believe they could get our next vacation budget??
