Bobal Posted October 16, 2013 #26 Share Posted October 16, 2013 After children's 18th birthdays their status goes to what it would be based on their number of cruises, not their parents. That's not quite true. They have the same status as their parents up to their 18th birthday, and retain this status thereon but their points go to what they have actually sailed before their 18th. For instance when my youngest son turned 18 he retained the status we had at the time, which was Diamond, even though his cruising points were less than 80. He is now aged 20 and has subsequently sailed a few more times and his last cruise brought him up to 80 points i.e. Diamond in his own right - however during that period of time between ages 18 and 20 he was still classed as Diamond and would have continued to be, even if he never cruised again.

Clarea Posted October 16, 2013 #27 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Pinnacle doesn't pass to children, it does for all the other levels. After children's 18th birthdays their status goes to what it would be based on their number of cruises, not their parents. So this person has 550 of their own points. After a child turns 18, their points revert to those they actually earned, but their C&A level stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two eldest sons who are over 18 and still live with us have cruised once, and they have platinum status and same points as me.

It's common for Royal to miss fixing the C&A points when children turn 18. However, people have reported that points do get "fixed", most often when the child cruises next.

tlatrice Posted October 16, 2013 #32 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You'll get no flames from me. In fact, I don't see this as an accomplishment at all. An accomplishment would be a degree. Pinnacle at 25 is just bizarre to me. Bizarre how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev71 Posted October 16, 2013 #33 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Congrats.. I seen some posts where people talked about cheap cruises.. I know a person who lives in Florida in the winter and goes on alot of last mintue cruises for dirt cheap and you still get the same amount of points.. So its quite possible. Also maybe their parents took them on alot of cruises, There is alot of NN on this board today. Smile relax enjoy your cruises, Cruise Status doesnt mean too much to me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquahound Posted October 16, 2013 #35 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Bizarre how? How many 25 year old Pinnacle members do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORT ROYAL Posted October 16, 2013 #36 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Bizarre how? Just as bizarre as one becoming Celebrity Elite without sailing on Celebrity, or Diamond without sailing one RCCL.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted October 16, 2013 #37 Share Posted October 16, 2013 haha. Yeah, I'd rather have my degree than Pinnacle.Still, I think it is great that he is on track to make Pinnacle so at such a young age. I'd rather have my degree too. Without it I'd have no income to cruise in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted October 16, 2013 #38 Share Posted October 16, 2013 There was a 16 year old boy who was Diamond (he had a monkey (stuffed!!) that travelled more then him). When last I seen his posts he was less then 100 from Pin. He travelled with Mom and Dad (who was a TA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekeella Posted October 16, 2013 #42 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't know why people keep commenting they'd rather have a degree than be pinnacle in reference to the 23 year old. What indication do you have this person doesn't have a degree?? Or it's a total non sequitur, like me saying I'd rather have my own yacht than be pinnacle. Likely someone who is 23 and is on track to pinnacle does have a degree as the cost of college is more of a barrier to a degree these days than the rigors of college.

Aquahound Posted October 16, 2013 #44 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't know why people keep commenting they'd rather have a degree than be pinnacle in reference to the 23 year old. I was the first to say it. The context of my post was, it's my opinion that making such a high loyalty status at an early age is not an accomplishment. Some people think it's amazing, cool, etc, and that's fine. It's their opinion. I just dont' share it. The degree comment was just an example of what I would consider an accomplishment for someone in their early 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is on track to pinnacle at age 23 probably is most likely not looking at the cost of collage as being any type of a barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul65 Posted October 16, 2013 #48 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Big deal. I figure I'm on pace to make Pinnacle by the time I'm 22. Oops...forgot to carry the 1...make that by the time I'm 122. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how this makes a difference really. If they are considered Diamond, it does not matter how many actual cruise points they have. The only thing it changes is they have to work up to the next level all on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
