VIP on my Luggage Tags - what does it mean?

[curry767]

First RCI cruise, booked online for a inside cabin with a double double upgrade to balcony stateroom. Assigned deck 8 on Radiance and I have VIP printed on my Luggage Tags.

 

I've searched high and low and cannot find what this 'VIP' means. Thoughts?

I have never seen that, and I *am* a VIP. LOL

Is VIP the terminal code for Vancouver? Aside from that, the line may see you as a real VIP, hence the upgrades. Are you by chance, a gamer?

It's either Canada Place or Ballentyne.

Not sailing out of Vancouver.

 

The double upgrade was package that was offered for sale, hence the reason for booking it.

Well, you ARE a VIP then. Congratulations.

 

Let us know if they strew rose petals in your path when you arrive at the pier.

 

:D

I am sailing out of Vancouver and the code is YVR.

 

Never seen the VIP and the red section like that on a luggage tag. Make sure you come back and tell us if you do get any VIP benefits, whatever they are. Good luck!:p

[curry767]

I guess I should try my luck with a priority checkin lane then. Any suggestions as to which?

This is too easy, use the VIP lane. :p :D

Certainly didn't pay for any additional package as part of my cruise purchase

Interesting but they are on the Radiance out of Honolulu not Allure out of Barcelona. Maybe there was one for Radiance too.

Just checked my tags for our Liberty cruise at the end of August.

 

My tag says......

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Yeah, I read that thread previously and it shed no light, that's why I thought I'd post again with VIP in the title.

 

The mystery is getting more intriguing. I thought for sure someone who know the answer this.

Have you called RCI to ask?

Have you called RCI to ask?

 

Don't do it, otherwise you can't plead ignorance. :D Or if you call say "I have this friend who received VIP luggage tags...."

My favourite 2 posts of the day. Thanks for the smiles.

My dealings with RCI on the phone have given me the impression they don't know the difference between a plane and a cruise ship. From Australia I think we get redirected to the call centre in the Philippines.

 

Maybe that is it, I'm Australian, thus VIP. Maybe that should really read VVIP! ;)

Thank you! Now I can "quote myself." LOL

 

Very Innocent Passenger - first timer?

Hi, I had the red VIP on our luggage tags for a Solstice cruise 2 years ago. The only unusual thing about that cruise was that we received a complimentary upgrade from an inside cabin to a Concierge Class cabin

[bigb99]

In 2008 one entire side of my family (about 60 strong) went on a family reunion cruise on LOS. My uncle's credit card was used for the bookings and he also had a big red VIP on his bag tag. It didn't look exactly like yours though, the VIP was more prominent. There weren't really any tangible benefits. Have you booked for a large group?

At least it doesn't read "preferred customer." :rolleyes:
