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:

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.

Unofficially Yes, but it is definitely not set in stone as they are only theories based on a web page that was posted briefly.:D

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

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.

I hope they add points for money bet in the casino :)

Here, here.

I agree, as all my cruises except one have been 14+ days; they need to be when we have to pay air fare .

Will they count the cruises before Captains Club was available?

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?

I agree, We are almost there as well, but we will not know how it exactly effects anyone until they announce it (conversion points) officially.:D

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........:(

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?
