Platinum Question

[golfb4cruzing]

I thought we were hitting on the next trip but the requirements are hazy. Does one reach Platinum with 6th trip, 51+ days or is both needed? The description states and/or, therefore the confusion on my part.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

You are platinum on your 6th, that's when you will see the benefits.

You will achieve platinum after you have earned 5 ctuise credits or after you have sailed 50 days, whichever comes first.

 

Suites earn double cruise credits, as do solos.

When going by the number of cruises, you obtain Platinum at the end of your fifth cruise. So on your sixth cruise, you are Platinum. There's also a way to obtain the status by the number of days you've been on a Princess ship...but it's at the end of that cruise. You don't change status during a cruise. You can also get some points by booking a full suite or going solo.

Either from 6th cruise or 51st day. You may hit both on the same cruise but only one is needed.

Thanks everyone. Panama Canal won't get us to 51+ this year. So next year it will be. Hooray.

Happy for you the Plainum Benefits are good. I think you get the Plainum card at the end of your Panama cruise it will be sent to your cabin. :)

Status changes occur at the end of each cruise. So if you are qualifying for Platinum by number of days, you will not advance in the middle of a cruise.

No card, just a pin and a letter of congrats.

What are the super benefits of being Platinum? Do you get an extra roll and butter at dinner, LOL

Yes and when you become Elite you also get two breadsticks :eek: LOL

The main benefit is the internet credit.

Looking at your cruise history, you have five cruises under your belt and should be Platinum now. Take a look at your cruise history on your account to make sure they are all listed. If some are missing, contact Captains Circle via telephone. They are most helpful.

October 2016 Princess trip is our 5th. So next years will be 6 and start trip as a Platinum. If I understand everyone correctly.

[paul929207]

You are correct.

Or you could take a one or three day repo in September (Seattle/Vancouver) and be platinum for your October cruise... This is really more useful getting to elite, which adds laundry and one-time minibar setups. Even if only one person has the status he/she gets the internet minutes or the elite perks. Our son did a one day solo followed by a three day solo (different ship to be legal), giving him 4 credits toward elite.

I would take a short cruise before Oct. 2016 (your Panama trip )so that you will have platinum status during your longer trip.

I wish that a 14 day cruise would count as two - this just doesn't seem fair. DH has two 7 day cruises, one 15 day cruise and one 14 day cruise which equals 4 cruises with a total of 43 days... Still Ruby.

From your 6th -15th cruise or 51-150 cruise days. Congratulations you made it Platinum Level. :D You will be Elite before you know it good luck and have a great cruise.

Suites earn double cruise credits, as do solos.

Booking a suite will earn you an extra credit. Booking a cabin as a solo will earn you an extra credit. So a solo in a suite would earn three credits.
