Crown and Anchor tiers!

Also, Adam Goldstein mentioned on his Blog or the like last year that RCI was NOT considering another level between D+ and Pinnacle.

 

But the 350 point mark is already unnamed level.

 

It gets you more perks, inclluding another bottle of wine and a meal with an officer.

It would be nice if it had a name:)

How many Diamond members would people estimate?

 

How many Emerald members would people estimate? Etc etc.....

 

:confused: :confused:

[Jeannie333333]

There are benefits between 175 and 700. head over to the C & A site and check it out...includes a free cruise.

 

As long as I know that Gold still must carry the luggage of those at the D+ level, and throw rose petals at the feet of the D+ members wherever they walk on the ship, I need no additional level.

 

 

sounds reasonable to me :D

[Jeannie333333]

Well, guess I should have said 400 by the end of 2013.:p

 

 

No fighting between Pinnacles please ...... :eek:

 

tee hee

I saw the number for D+ members discussed on one of these threads... again I don't have any feel for the accuracy, but the number seemed low. I tried a search for the thread, but no luck. IIRC the number of D+ was around 5000. Maybe Adam G. will chime in and bring us all up to speed:D!

[heatherb1958]

As of end of January, there were 329 Pinnacle members, well that is my Pinnacle number, Mrs was number 328. They expect approx. 80 people to achieve Pinnacle this year. :D

 

Hi, how did you find out what number you were ?

Have you got your magic pins yet.? :)

[Trekker954]

I can tell you that there are 6.5 million C&A Members and, as of February approximately 400 of that total are Pinnacle Club Members.

 

As soon as I read this post, i thought, where's Patti, she will know:D

[Trekker954]

This reminded me of when on the LOS, last night of the cruise, busiest time in the Diamond Lounge for DC Oana she gets a call at 7:30 to get down to the theater to settle a dispute (fists almost flaring - I was right there in the theater) between a Diamond Plus member and a Diamond member who sat in the reserved section. (Which by the way, opens up to anyone 10 minutes before the show to a section that is rarely filled up).

 

We had a good laugh about it the next morning although Oana just shook her head.

Lets call it Half Pinnacle.:eek:

[~JD~]

Look at the times of the posts. Virtually simultaneous with hers. his?

 

Not sure what your referring to with the "Virtually simultaneous with hers. his?" means...But.

I'm a {her}. Yes, I did go to the C&A portion of RCCI & signed up. I guess I'm a gold member. I plan to cruise again soon, just have to talk my retired USCG hubby into joining me. :)

 

Thanks for all your help.

Or, Pinnacle-minus, as another poster calls it. :D

 

I made a note in 1/2013 with these numbers:

 

D = 10,000

D+ = 5,100

Pinnacle: the numbers posted above by Patti and ChipLondon are what I have. 330 in January, so around 400 by the end of this year.

These numbers seem really low (D and D+) especially D.

Yes, the D/D+ numbers have to be low.

I agree they do seem rather low, but what do I know.

Or maybe better yet...

 

PIN-HEADed to Pinnacle?

Hi Janis,

 

Yes, I defended you but to no avail. :D I gather some people just couldn't quite understand what I was saying ;) (anyway, no biggie!!) but I saw you joined and congrats on doing so! Now the fun really begins as you build up loyalty points towards each level. Glad you enjoyed your Jewel cruise and I hope there are many more cruises in your future. :)

I was almost ready to post this, but wasn't sure if it would be taken lightly. I would call it "PINN-HEAD".:D

[pcur]

Yes, the D/D+ numbers have to be low.

 

I don't know; seems to me we tend to think there's more D/D+ because they are really active here on CC, but I remember this thread from January of this year, and I think it was a Pinnacle member who asked while on a cruise. They posted these numbers and I wrote them down.

 

I would imagine if someone called C&A and asked they'd have the information.

[TEXASMUNK]

Those at any level, enjoy the loyalty program. RCI, nor any other cruise line, had to start a loyalty program. But since they did, I tend to find the RCI program the best....I know, I know, Princess does your dirty clothes....I will still take the C & A program over the others!

How dd you find out the #? I just looked at all my stuff & nothing says a number, not that it matters, justs curious.

 

LOVE the Pinn head reference, that's what we call it. ;)

[reney313]

I also wonder often about the number of C&A members that are deceased...especially in the D+ and Pinnacle ranks (maybe not Pinnacle so much since it's a small group and a recent addition). I know when my husband passed away I did not have his account "deleted" for a few years--until I went to link my boyfriend so he could status match with mine (we live together). At that point, I deleted my late husband so they didn't think there was some kinky living going on in the household. :)

Thanks so much Karen. ;) I appreciate your help. Now I just have to talk my retired USCG hubby into a cruise with me. He's been on many ships & docked at many, many ports.

So, it's not the first thing on his bucket list-so to speak.

 

I posted a few pic's on another thread, but this site isn't very photo friendly, at least not for me. The pic's are so small.

 

Thanks again,

Janis

but the big question...who won ? :D

[cruisegirl1]

But the 350 point mark is already unnamed level.

 

It gets you more perks, inclluding another bottle of wine and a meal with an officer.

 

 

 

There are lot of benefits, but the 350 point “meal with an officer” is not a guarantee. It was not offered to us on a recent 7 night sailing. When we inquired, we were told that this particular perk was never offered on the ship. Funny thing, we sailed on the same ship a few months prior and had an absolutely lovely meal with an officer. ??

 

The upper tier event (in our case a breakfast) apparently was substituted. It was a nice breakfast but nothing like a dinner, most are not seated with an officer and naturally the 350 mark does not come into play as the event included either D+ and above or D and above.

 

We had anticipated the perk, and it never materialized.

In my opinion, it is worse to offer a perk and then not follow through, than to not even offer the perk at all.
