gone2c Posted September 18, 2013 #181 Share Posted September 18, 2013 wow, i said this about 9 months ago and everyone said i was talking out of my back side. now folks are seeing the light and are starting to believe it. wow, i hate to say it but---------"I told you so" I, too, have been saying this since they put in the first diamond lounge. As long as they wait until 2015 to implement it I could care less. We are on the Allure in Dec next year and it is really the only class where which lounge would make a difference.

They may not even have to do that. All they need to do is just check these boards and we would give them all the ideas they would ever need!!

Ocean Boy Posted September 18, 2013 #185 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Creating a new level makes a lot of sense. Considering how many days it takes to get from diamond+ to pinnacle, many people may explore other options once making D+ figuring that they will never make pinnacle anyway. Adding a new level may entice some folks to keep chasing the carrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, RCI if you're listening (;);)), if you want to make an official appearence on the Cruise Critic RCI board and float some possibilities you're considering to spur some lively focus group debate, we wouldn't complain! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvcruising2 Posted September 29, 2013 #189 Share Posted September 29, 2013 After researching and reading up so much about NCL, we are actually going to try NCL late next year. Switching already, maybe? :p:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted September 29, 2013 #190 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Creating a new level makes a lot of sense. Considering how many days it takes to get from diamond+ to pinnacle, many people may explore other options once making D+ figuring that they will never make pinnacle anyway. Adding a new level may entice some folks to keep chasing the carrot. That, however, assumes that there are some sort of perks that they can offer to those achieving the new tier that will make getting there so attractive. Given the rate that people are already reaching Diamond and Diamond Plus, and even to some extent, Pinnacle, I remain unsure just what advantage there would be to RCI to offer a new "carrot". Then again, perhaps there are enough people whose only reason for cruising on RCI is to garner more cruise credits and not the cruising experience that RCI offers, that adding still another tier makes sense.

emeraldcity Posted September 29, 2013 #191 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Consider what more closely??? A RUMOR?? ok... I'll buy that... now what is the next RUMOR??? A child free ship? Try HAL. I'm not trying to be nasty, but my take on RCI is that try are trying to provide an inclusive experience where families (including extended families) can co-exist with couples and singles ... which involves different locations onboard that are restricted to different groups. Trust me -- the kids don't want us grammas hanging out in Adventure Ocean any more than we want them showing up in the Solarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkbiiii Posted October 2, 2013 #192 Share Posted October 2, 2013 This new level could include benefits that are midlevel Diamond Plus Benefits: such as Dinner with an officer, 150% Single Supplement, 3 Cabin Amenity Choices, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw322 Posted October 2, 2013 #193 Share Posted October 2, 2013 No, the D+ people will still have a lounge........The Diamond Lounge.:D Patti, I am puzzled, how are you a member of the Pinnacle Club with only 522 nights at see when Pinnacle is at 700?

Merion_Mom Posted October 2, 2013 #194 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Patti, I am puzzled, how are you a member of the Pinnacle Club with only 522 nights at see when Pinnacle is at 700? Among other considerations, under the current system, sailing in a JS or higher awards double points. (i.e., 7 nights in an oceanview cabin = 7 points; 7 nights in a junior suite = 14 points). Another situation is that there have been three years of "Diamonds in December" wherein D and up C&A members earn an extra point for each night cruised during the month of December.

You need 700 points, not nights. Since our cabin of choice is a JS we earn double points per cruise. And when we board Serenade next week, it will be our 50th cruise!!

IMHO, point totals should be something between those that earn them and RCI.:) We should be earning our next complimentary cruise next year.
