ARCruisinNana Posted April 13, 2015 #126 Share Posted April 13, 2015 January....but I already got the certificate and stuff about a month later............booked my cruise,but would had chosen something in the fall,if I had been given this option.. Hi Kathy! We also got the letter in the mail today. Our Pinnacle recognition cruise was January 31st. The Pinnacle pins arrived in about six weeks (from New Jersey) and "stratum" arrived about a week later (from Florida). Steve Thanks for the info. I'm leaving for the Serenade TA in about 10 days and I doubt if I'll get anything before I leave. Another friend got his stratum about 2 weeks after his PC cruise and his PC pin about 6 weeks later. Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVU Posted April 13, 2015 #127 Share Posted April 13, 2015 When did you make Pinnacle? I haven't received a letter but only made PC last month, so I haven't received anything yet. Carolyn End of Feb. we finished the PC cruise--for us and still waiting.:rolleyes: I thought 6 weeks? but being Canada it maybe longer...... We are at 7 weeks now and still counting..... Everything coming here from RCL always takes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea3PO Posted April 13, 2015 #128 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If we got the letter earlier,we might had still gone with you on the JW..:( Wish you'd gotten it earlier! Hopefully our cruise paths will cross again soon. ;) Steve & Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubrrick Posted April 14, 2015 #131 Share Posted April 14, 2015 We flew to Tampa, and joined Jan and Bruce, to be with them as they turned Pinnacle. We love to cruise with good friends, and they even had a friend fly up from Panama to join them on their final hurrah.........becoming Pinnacle Club members. My only disappointment, and maybe this will change as we all go forward, is to recognize the new Pinnacle Club member with a gold card, on the day that they have reached their 700 point. We also cruised with a couple, on the same voyage of last week, from Switzerland, who became Pinnacle over 7 months ago, and on this cruise, they were finally presented with their pins. That is a whole different story, but ended nicely! Kathy, congratulations on your becoming a new Pinnacle Club member.:) Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVU Posted April 14, 2015 #132 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Having the Gold Card presented to the New Pinnacle Member at the time of the celebration event or when they have reached 700 points, would be a very nice touch!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have presented this to the top C&A people, and I can only pray that this..........no cost, presentation, will become a fleet wide occurrence.

ARCruisinNana Posted April 14, 2015 #135 Share Posted April 14, 2015 On the actual day I became Pinnacle, both the Concierge and Diamond Concierge offered me a new Pinnacle Club card. It's nice to have both my D+ card and PC Card from that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shipshape sam Posted April 14, 2015 #136 Share Posted April 14, 2015 About how long after you have become Pinnacle do you receive your $1200 certificate for a cruise, please? I understand that you must use this within 6 months of receiving it, right? Nice problem to worry about! Nice challenge to have to use within 6 months too! I read that once posted, you can call to apply certificate. It is a nice issue to have. Have a great cruise using the certificate! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelgoddess1 Posted April 14, 2015 #140 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Kathy, I'm glad to hear that you got a letter, regarding the book by/sail by restrictions. I thought we had resolved this months ago. That's good news. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksuds Posted April 14, 2015 #142 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Wow!!! I think you got the red carpet treatment compared to others!!:) One person posted about getting Nothing on her special cruise.:eek: Again, isn't it great how consistent RCL is? My pet peeve of the month.:D Agree- we were on the BR a couple week after PH8 made her Pinnacle. We did a B2B2B. Informed them on the first leg that one of us will be making Pinnacle on teh 3rd leg. No mention or anything at all. The Hotel Director said next time we come on they will make it special. BS! It has now been 3 months since turning P and RCI has yet to send anything acknowledging the status change. Called them again yesterday and they basically said oops, allow 6-8 more weeks. We did cash in that 2400.00 credit though. :D RCI has been a big disappointment in this area of recognizing reaching P status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVU Posted April 14, 2015 #145 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Yea,like I sad,if I knew I had a year,I would had booked something else..... I had understood at the beginning it was to be taken and booked in the 6 month period.......this is better news. They changed the rules twice then? First was NO BOGO to be used and then they extended the time period to use it? Maybe if they thought everything out first, they wouldn't keep changing their minds???:rolleyes: Luckily we can't do anything right now about our new PC Voucher, due to medical issues they are aware of, so it is getting better as we wait!!!
