shand32783 Posted October 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2015 We are 1 credit (night) away from D+. Does RCCL make any exceptions on bumping someone up to the next level? I looked for a 1 night SEA-Vancouver repositioning or something like that to make up the day, but nothing. Just curious if anyone else has had an experience like this. We would have made D+ on last cruise but had to cancel the first week of a B2B due to a major family moment. Thanks Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted October 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Only to pinnacle. And only while sailing. Not prior. Everyone else must wait until the cruise ends before being recognized. There is no such thing as a one night cruise. Rarely there will be a 2 or 3 nite cruise to nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted October 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I understand you are anxious and excited to move to the next level, but it won't happen, sorry. Imagine if they did it for one member, how many others would want it. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted October 22, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I have never heard of them making an exception. Your points are posted after the cruise, and that's when your information will update to Diamond Plus. Really, on most ships there isn't much of a difference now days anyway between Diamond and Diamond Plus. The Diamond Clubs have everything the Concierge Lounge does or you get the Three Complimentary drinks at most non dining room bars on the ship.

Ashland Posted October 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Be patient...we were only 2 points away at one point in time ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted October 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Actually, this gets asked often by those moving up a level during a cruise. Answer is the same - cruise points are only earned after the cruise was completed. One person was all huffy that the LA summarily blew them off when they went to ask if they could be moved up during the cruise - so many feel rules can't possibly apply to them.

fishbonz Posted October 22, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Where do you live find a port that has a three day cruise and do it. That is if the perks are going to be that important to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted October 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Only to pinnacle. And only while sailing. Not prior. Everyone else must wait until the cruise ends before being recognized. There is no such thing as a one night cruise. Rarely there will be a 2 or 3 nite cruise to nowhere When reaching PC you are supposed to be recognized on the ship that you are earning your 700th point on. However, it depends on the ship as to how this is handled and whether you receive a Gold Card at that time or the following cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m*u*g* Posted October 22, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) No. Take a short cruise beforehand if you want the points. Edited October 22, 2015 by m*u*g* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted October 22, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I would gift you one of my points if I could, but I can't, they won't let me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTSKIandCRUISEGUY Posted October 22, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 22, 2015 We were 2 shy of Diamond with a 12-nighter coming up. I NEEDED to be Diamond for this cruise!!!! I called up C&A but they wouldn't do anything, so instead we booked an inexpensive 7-nighter for August just a few weeks before the cruise date. Now we get the Diamond benefits on the Anthem in less than 3 weeks. ------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need 2 points to get to Diamond, so we will take a 3 day cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted October 22, 2015 #16 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Personally I have never thought that the perks for any level were really something to get excited about. I was mainly interested in being able to be with my friends without them having to make a choice. Now that you can get drinks outside of the lounges at happy hour, it's all good.

cincicruisers Posted October 22, 2015 #17 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Bumping up to diamond...best perks balcony discount and free drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted October 22, 2015 #18 Share Posted October 22, 2015 So close to the next level. That was us, till we just reached Diamond, but now after our last August Oasis cruise it is official, we are diamond. LONGGGGGGGGGG way to go till diamond plus. Safe journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted October 23, 2015 #19 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Soon there will be so many D+ members that they'll need to create a Pinnacle Plus program with all of the perks/carrots for us to chase. 1400 points gets you a branded highlighter! I hope they don't create any additional levels. Besides, if you look at the perks chart, there already are, sort of, levels built in to the Diamond+. Not all D+'s get the same perks. Do we really need to name them? I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! :) I joke about it all of the time - I spent $2,000 to save a few bucks and get a few perks. But hey, I convinced my wife to go on another cruise, to make it 3 this year, so that was worth it! -------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusinthrough Posted October 23, 2015 #23 Share Posted October 23, 2015 so you're spending many hundreds of dollars for the couple hundred in benefits, LOL? I don't get it either.

Clarea Posted October 23, 2015 #24 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I don't get it either. What does D+ get you that D does not that you spend a couple thousand dollars? The D+ lapel pin is much bigger!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
