Pinnacle Functions Ending

Very nice - hope you didn't have to pack it in your luggage :D

Crystal Awards, like what Karen posted, are now shipped to a home address.

Probably the same person that decided that the word "Stutter" would be the best way for a person that suffers with this complication to describe it to others. :eek:

 

The line that I have heard is, "What sadistic S.O.B. put an "s" in the word lisp???"

Same person who made up Centrum

 

No, Centrum makes sense. Stratum does not.

I guess, if true, the policy will affect some ships more than others. There has been little or no consistency throughout the fleet. Rubrrick mentioned the Navigator and what he said was true up until the time of Robert Taggart's abrupt departure. Then there was nothing. Before then the Captain, HD and F & B manager all hosted a Captains table (on different nights) and typically every pinnacle was invited to at least one of the tables. Several other ships have been equally pinnacle friendly. Often a senior officer would invite all the pinnacles to Chops or Giovanni's for a meal.

 

 

RCCL is changing. Some Captains no longer host a Captain's table and are practically invisible to passengers. Miami needs to impose some minimums and if some ships want to exceed them that is fine. If the pinnacles don't get a little massaging there is no reason for them not to explore other cruise lines. Most of them are RCCL's best ambassadors.[/QUOTE]

 

There are not that many Pinnacles yet. They may be great ambassadors for Royal Carribbean but so are the D+ of which there are many, many, more members. They are doing D+ benefit cuts and now the Pins are feeling it too. Might want to get used to it. Started back in '08/'09 with the Diamond demotion out of the CL. Now they are phasing out the CL's altogether. Pins have Gold cards (for now). Don't be too shocked if that changes as well. Suites bring in the money as do new cruisers. The vast majority of people have never cruised. That is the target audience and if they can get them to book a suite, well all the better.
