roysmith99 Posted March 25, 2014 #52 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) We have been cruising since 2003, been through all the C&A levels upto D+ and never seen or received any acknowledgment or pin (except photos). Did get a bottle of Champagne once for being top cruisers though. . Edited March 25, 2014 by roysmith99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyriecat Posted March 25, 2014 #53 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I know I didn't receive pins for Diamond or Diamond Plus. I can't remember if I received a pin for Platinum, and Emerald didn't exist until after I passed that level. On the cruise that I was supposed to get my diamond pin, the LA said they had run out and she would have C&A mail it to me. I didn't receive it and after several weeks called C&A. I was told they were out and would mail it to me when they restocked. I never received it and asked about on my next cruise. I was again told they were out and to call C&A. I called but never got my pin. On Adventure two years ago I was supposed to get my D+ pin, but guess what! They were out and I was told to call C&A to have it mailed. I called C&A and was told they don't mail them anymore and I should ask for one on my next cruise. I'll probably sail on RC next summer w/ extended family so I may see if I can get one then. Funny thing - I've sailed on Celebrity and am a member of their Captain's Club. When I made Diamond with C&A, my status with Captain Club switched to Elite, even though I had only cruised with them once at that time. Celebrity sent me the Elite status pins and luggage tags. I'm not sure where the pins are but I still use the luggage tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairymelon Posted March 25, 2014 #54 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I have received pins when going up each level and they were in my cabin when starting my next cruise after achieving the level. They are a nice touch but I would never actually wear one as I think everyone deserves the same treatment whether they are pinnacle or on their first cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ethanol95 Posted October 23, 2019 #55 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Did anyone receive a membership card instead of the pin? I received a membership card after turning Platinum, but no lapel. Also haven't seen any welcome gifts of such when I was gold either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I believe it's now down to a plate of cookies and a non-alcoholic beverage, such as bottled water, soda, etc. You have to call C&A to choose the beverage.

cruznjan Posted October 23, 2019 #62 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Sometimes they forget, I guess, to send the pins. Call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted October 23, 2019 #63 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Seems more recently the helipad party on Oasis class is for suite and Pinnacles. Actually last week we had a sail- in suite/pinnacle party as we pulled into St. Thomas. Joke was on us, we backed in! m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted October 23, 2019 #64 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We received the pins for all the levels in our cabin. The steward brought them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted October 23, 2019 #65 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We got pins in our room. I am trying to remember if it was the last cruise (April 2019) or the one before (Aug 2018). I know I have a Platinum pin, as I ran across it while straightening up last weekend. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted October 23, 2019 #66 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We've got 6 D+ pins. Two when we made D+ in 2017. Most recently two for each leg of our March/April 2019 B2B cruise on the Freedom. 😵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomedbob Posted October 23, 2019 #67 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I guess you win! We only have 4 D+, but 8 D's. I took one of our D's to our jeweler and had him put a super large rinestone on it. It certainly turned heads in the D lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
