mferranti Posted November 22, 2013 #326 Share Posted November 22, 2013 We really lucked out with the Founders status. We signed up and authorized payment for $30 p/p to join. Before the charge hit my credit card, I got an e-mail saying the program had changed but we would still be enrolled as Founders.Good timing! :) (Some here would probably be angry at missing out on the $50 pp credit X gave paying members.) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINGBER Posted November 22, 2013 #327 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I still do have a Captains Club card that says "Founder". It cost $30. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walcherw Posted November 22, 2013 #329 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So, under the theories presented on this thread, I will be Elite and reach 10 pts by my next cruise. Does that mean I will be Elite with 300 pts? Please feel free to comment away on this, as I love speculation!:cool: No one knows for sure yet....but ..I would bet that is what happens.

Rare MicCanberra Posted November 22, 2013 #332 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I must be having a senior moment, or day ,or month but can someone answer this...On RCL I am a Diamond + with over 500 days, on Celebrity I have 11 cruises and am Elite . When this change goes through what will I be on Celebrity. I was under the impression that your status on RCL would be the same level on C. We also joined C's loyalty program back when we had to pay the $15 to join. Help !!:):eek: I would suspect your RCI status will carry you through at a higher level on X but who knows for sure.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walcherw Posted November 22, 2013 #333 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I would suspect your RCI status will carry you through at a higher level on X but who knows for sure.:D no takers on my bet yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 22, 2013 #334 Share Posted November 22, 2013 no takers on my bet yet. Yep I think you would be right, and the (unofficial) web page backed this up.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterlily777 Posted November 22, 2013 #335 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Still the 30 times credits has not been confirmed by Celebrity. It may very well be the conversion rate, but no on here knows for sure. Which is why I referred to the possible conversion rate as conjecture.

Waterlily777 Posted November 22, 2013 #336 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The conversion is just the 1 time fix,it has to be base on 1 number or a standard formula.After the conversion is done,every cruise will be base on the number of days you earned and not number of cruise. I believe each category cabin will earn a standard points x the number of days cruise. I hope that is the way it plays out. I think the fairest way to assign the points is to base it on days sailed. It's fine to also add some bonus points that reflect the $$$ spent, as for suites, and onboard spending, but what I think is fundamental is the number of days sailed.

Does that mean I will be Elite with 300 pts? Please feel free to comment away on this, as I love speculation!:cool: I have the exact same situation. Under the "old" system we would have 10 points after our 14 day cruise in February 2014 which I chose partially because we would get the two points necessary to make Elite. (This would also make us Diamond on RCI for a cruise in August.) If X counts days as speculated under a "new" system we would come up a few points short of 300. We are nearing final payment and I really hope we are "grandfathered" under the old system. I would consider it unfair if X changed the rules after we booked. What do you think?

dmk Posted November 22, 2013 #344 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi! I am another one with Founder status. But let's not forget that Celebrity paid back all the membership fees.

If you didn't get yours, you might be a little late.:rolleyes: I never got a credit for $100. However, we did receive quite a few vouchers (overcharge for taxes and ?) for another cruise IF booked within a very short period of time. Couldn't use them within the time frame........:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterlily777 Posted November 22, 2013 #346 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I hope they add points for money bet in the casino :) Don't they already have some way of rewarding the high stakes players? That will never be me as my forays into the casino always end up as donations, so I have to limit myself to $20 and the penny machines. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLH Arizona Posted November 22, 2013 #348 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'll be kicking myself that I never used my darn card in the slot machines You should always use your card. I got a certificate for $500 off a cruise, unfortunately I couldn't use it in the time frame they gave me. But the offer was nice. p.s. I didn't spend that much in the casino.

I totally agree with you...to lower the status of anyone is definitely a situation that implies that it is okay to change the rules and make some people wait for another cruise. I do not think that Celebrity would do that!:eek: Again, these are still only theories and speculation at this point. Change is the currency of life!

So if everyone who's one cruise away from a new level deserves to be grandfathered, why not the people two cruises away? Three? Four? Seven?
