Crazyshopper Posted January 15, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I had a gold status after my 6th cruise. With the new system, I am now Silver. Did this happen to anyone. I am so bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted January 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Most people were only Silver after their sixth cruise. How did you attain gold after number six? Could it have been an error, now corrected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShark Posted January 15, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I had a gold status after my 6th cruise. With the new system, I am now Silver. Did this happen to anyone. I am so bummed. How did that happen? Under the old system, you needed 9 complete cruises to become gold. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyshopper Posted January 15, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I made the mistake. I thought I was gold. I just found my old records and I was silver. I could be gold if they count my upsell to a penthouse and if they count my last cruise which I won by bingo. Thanks for clarifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerworks Posted January 15, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The new system doesn't credit points for upsells or freebie cruises, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clarifying. well, if in seven cruises you have gotten an upsell and won a freebie, I'd say you are a lucky person. Far better to be a lucky silver than an unlucky gold:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider yourself lucky. They have once again lost my records and informed me that I have to submit proof of sailing to retain my status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastalbreezes Posted January 15, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The new system doesn't credit points for upsells or freebie cruises, I believe. No it doesn't and I am not happy with that. Last 3 cruises, I paid to upgrade to SF category and am only getting credit for my original booking. :( TracyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagie Posted January 15, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Submit a request for them to re-examine your records - it takes some time but in my case they gave me the extra points for my first cruise where I was upsold to a penthouse - I also had them correct my wife's account as we are both lattitudes members. I am still Silver - but seven points closer to Gold - which I should get in June after my next cruise - 7 days in a suite booked a year in advance.

jame_g Posted January 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I agree. I don't have any problem with not getting extra points for the upsell we got. Yes, I paid for it, but I still paid much less than what it would have cost to book the suite to begin with. The savings was worth much more than the points.

Crazyshopper Posted January 15, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted January 15, 2012 well, if in seven cruises you have gotten an upsell and won a freebie, I'd say you are a lucky person. Far better to be a lucky silver than an unlucky gold:D Yes, I was lucky to get the upsell call. I was really happy to get it. It was really helpful with two young kids. The freebie was worth $1000 and I paid $100 for the bingo. It was a savings for the cruise, but it wasn't a time that my husband and I wanted to go. I just didn't want to lose my winning. You had to use it within 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Cody Posted January 16, 2012 #14 Share Posted January 16, 2012 For my wife and I the new program works great. We are silver after 2 cruises (34 pts). We will be gold after our 3rd cruise (21 pt) and will be platinum after our 4th cruise (48 pts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That what makes the "suite life" even sweeter!:) We'll be platinum after our Star cruise since we are only 8 and 9 points away now. We will be 3 and 4 points away after our 2 CTN's before the Star.
