mnh Posted September 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2013 My gd is 14 and D+ on her own. If she is cruising with her newbie dad will their cabin get priority boarding, D+ balcony discount and access to DL or CL lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted September 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2013 You should call up C&A and link her status to him by way of family relation if they reside in the same home. I believe everyone in the party will get priority boarding together, but if he is not linked he doesn't get D+ perks. If he is linked, he will. If he has never cruised before with RCI I don't know if they will link him to her until AFTER the first completed cruise. Worth the phone call. Even if they won't link them together they do offer discounts for "new referrals" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherFan Posted September 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The cabin can get the balcony discount and priority boarding, but only she would have access to the lounges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galavant3 Posted September 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2013 What an interesting situation! I would call RCI to find out for sure because we can only speculate. I know a child will "inherit" the status of a parent up until age 18. But I've never heard of a parent "inheriting" the status of a child. My guess would be no, but stranger things have happened!

You're right, it is interesting and I'd be curious to hear what they have to say. I'd just call and say "I want to add my relative; we have the same legal address." C&A seems to care more about legal residence than actual relationship status as one could be verified and the other can mean anything people think it means. Would seem discriminatory to go from adult to child, but not child to adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uksimonusa Posted September 19, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2013 She will be entitled to the balcony discount, priority boarding etc., my parents were granted my Diamond status when they signed up for C&A after their first cruise, but were told that they would not progress to D+ until they had earned credits in their own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherFan Posted September 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2013 You may be right on that I didn't think about it that way. As long as the newbie dad and daughter are at the same address I would think he would get D+ status. On another note. The referral discount would be given if they used the balcony discount since it can not be combined with anything else. The balcony discount is so much better anyways. Once your reach Diamond the balcony discounts generally are better than any other promotion anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCruisinNana Posted September 19, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The welcome basket and beverage is only given to C&A members 18 and over. So if she is the only C&A member in the cabin they won't get the basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted September 19, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2013 My gd is 14 and D+ on her own. If she is cruising with her newbie dad will their cabin get priority boarding, D+ balcony discount and access to DL or CL lounge? I believe at her age she cannot get into the DL during the cocktail hours 5-8:30pm...but she does have access to the CL regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishgal432 Posted September 19, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Please do come back and relate the information. My daughter is going in a cruise with a friend and that will put her at emerald but we are at platinum. I am hoping that we can go to emerald for the little extra balcony discount next cruise.

galavant3 Posted September 19, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Would seem discriminatory to go from adult to child, but not child to adult. Not really. Normally, only someone under the age of 18 will inherit status. In this case, the non Diamond is over the age of 18 (presumably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is going in a cruise with a friend and that will put her at emerald but we are at platinum. I am hoping that we can go to emerald for the little extra balcony discount next cruise. My kids took an additional cruise with their grandparents, so they reached Emerald before we did. We were not granted their status (even though we live in the same household and all of their other cruises were taken with us) There was no CL or Diamond lounge privileges involved in our case, so we just accepted it and booked one child and one adult into each cabin in order to take advantage of their balcony discount and gifts.

Rare orville99 Posted September 19, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 19, 2013 We'll find out in a couple of weeks. GS is D (sails with us a lot), his parents are just doing their second cruise. I doubt they will "inherit" his status, but we're on Enchantment in October with them, so it will be interesting to see what happens.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnh Posted September 20, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I am the OP and have been in meetings all day ....I will call C/A tomorrow. My gd does not live with her father...he is Chicago and we are in Dallas. I am mainly interested in the priority boarding with me and the balcony discount. I am also on the cruise and thought about booking his wife with me and his daughter with him then getting extra keys when we board to "switch back" I know it is sneaky but we earned our D+ status the hard way....I have 42 cruises and at 14 she has 23.....so I don't feel too bad!

bltrn Posted September 20, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 20, 2013 :confused::confused: Maybe I haven't been a member very long, but I would LOVE to know what all the abbreviations are for! Can someone give me a clue??? OP = ? GP = ? D+ = ? DL = ? CL = ? C&A = ? Thanks!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mr walker Posted September 20, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 20, 2013 :confused::confused: Maybe I haven't been a member very long, but I would LOVE to know what all the abbreviations are for! Can someone give me a clue??? OP = ? Original Poster GP = ? Grand Parent D+ = ? Diamond Plus (C&A Status Level) DL = ? Diamond Lounge CL = ? Concierge Lounge C&A = ? Crown & Anchor - Repeat Cruiser Loyalty Program Thanks!!!!! These abbreviations are used a lot on cc - there has been lists made. If I knew how to use the search function I could guide you to a thread where a bunch would be listed. Common ones include D for Dear as in DW (wife), DH (husband), DS (son) or DD (daughter) etc. Replace D with G and you get the next generation :) Happy cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted September 20, 2013 #20 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I just booked a cruise for us plus a balcony for DD and my Mom. My Mom is a first timer with RCI. DD has her own Emerald status. They got both, 55+ discount and Emerald balcony discount. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
