mollyeilis Posted December 8, 2016 #101 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Now, wouldn't that make sense? Recognize the points as soon as they are attained. Consistent policy applied across the board. :eek: I agree. Not that it means anything but we are three points from platinum, and we will get that almost halfway through our upcoming cruise. I don't think there are perks to expect but how nice would it be to be officially the new level while on that cruise? Just something fun. Why do they make us wait? It's silly.

troykahack Posted December 8, 2016 #102 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I know what you mean, if you look at past posts I have always indicated that if Royal thinks they can make boarding easier I feel we should try and comply. That being said, it is a burden on people who are not local due to flights and hotel departures. I think Royals Air2Sea customers are also exempt. John, I completely missed the post. Couldn't agree with you more. Our only debate now, is there a difference between check in and boarding?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted December 8, 2016 #104 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Which did you decide was your favorite cabin location area? I wanted starboard side (watching the action at the docks) but ended up with port side....but at least got a dead center hump JS for the little bit of extra room on the balcony. ;) 8240, center hump JS, non connecting. Bob said deck 8 was best. It is also near the elevator that goes to DL and CK. :D 8640 is the same cabin on the other side. We have that one for May, it was added after the initial bookings. :o I sure hope we like our cabin steward, he'll probably wonder why we never leave. ;) Edited December 8, 2016 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the tent, don't they have nice areas for D and above to hang out until boarding??? Not for any of the 15 cruises we've booked with RCI since we became Diamond. The only advantage has been priority check in and boarding, which for us has always been both together, so we get to leave the common waiting area sooner than the lower status folks. There is onboard the ship for disembarkation which may be what you are thinking of. :rolleyes: Edited December 9, 2016 by robtulipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Canaveral's T1 is nice but there's no separate room or hall I know of exclusively for Diamonds and above. There is just a common area that may have sections for the different C&A status folks which aids in boarding by group when embarkation first starts.

blkjac Posted December 9, 2016 Author #117 Share Posted December 9, 2016 As a Matter of Fact I'm not lonely at all! So lets get the straight... You logged on and posted as your wife?! Your "Wife" gets called out and the you post as yourself... And again you BLATANTLY said you know the rules and basically could care less!! So why even bother posting the question if you are going to do what you want anyways? And yes!!! it's people like YOU that ruin it for everyone. #justsaying Malagich: Let's get this STRAIGHT! The post was under MYNAME!!! not my wife! What do you mean by "Your wife gets called out" And I never said , I could care less. That's your words not mine. I said I would ask -- not demand just ask. I am really sorry that you got your bowels in a uproar!! Next time you see a post that upsets you You should just ignore it!! Please ( see I'm being nice) tell me. What am I ruining for everyone ?

CRUISEMAMI Posted December 9, 2016 #118 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Lots of things seem ship dependent, no worries. We have trips scheduled right after our ascension to PC. I'll have plenty of opportunities to find out what the practice on Oasis is. it's a shame the whole Pinnacle presentation is so inconsistent. Laura scheduled a cruise to join friends for their PC cruise, and we have friends doing the same for ours. My husband and I became Pinnacle on Oasis, in Oct! The only thing we got, was a free dinner at any restaurant! No gold card, no SL access ( we could go, because we knew the concierge, but we didn't) and a bottle of champagne! The ceremony is at the aqua theater, pics with the Captain, during the high tier party! Ohhh, and lunch at Giovanni's with the Captain, at the Pinnacle lunch! Just got our badges, passport holders, luggage tags! Couple weeks earlier, we got the "tower" and the certificate for the free cruise!!!! Congrats on reaching Pinnacle status! Enjoy!!!!

I know with Freedom it was Diamond and above, plus Suites. In Ft. Lauderdale it was only Suites and Pinnacles. With the upper tiers having assigned rows.

blkjac Posted December 9, 2016 Author #122 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Hello! That being said... My next cruise on Harmony my husband I and are staying in a GS. We are afforded Suite Class Perks such as the Suite Lounge and Barefoot Beach Cabana Club. If you were on the same cruise should you be allowed to take advantage of the perks I receive if you are not staying in a Suite? P S FYI--I would never ever think that I should be entitled to any of that. Just Saying!

Rare island lady Posted December 9, 2016 #124 Share Posted December 9, 2016 8240, center hump JS, non connecting. Bob said deck 8 was best. It is also near the elevator that goes to DL and CK. 8640 is the same cabin on the other side. We have that one for May, it was added after the initial bookings. :o I sure hope we like our cabin steward, he'll probably wonder why we never leave. ;) Yeah, you will be "living" with that cabin attendant for some time. Y'all better like each other for sure. :p Ditto to totally disliking connecting cabins. Can hear everything through the door from the next cabin and lose space where the door is. (Couch to chair on most ships. :(). I picked JS #11236 which is port side (prefer starboard..but oh well), dead center hump. Wanted that deck since we can pop into the DL pretty easily from there. Easier to carry a couple of morning coffees back to Bucky the sleeping beauty also. ;) Though RCI won't have to twist my arm should the upgrade fairy choose to pay us a visit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Peasy!! :D Now FLL??? Hah...should take a lunch there with all the wait sitting we do. And Tampa can be just as bad also...but more waiting in line than sitting. Will find out tomorrow morning. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
