There was a gentle on the Epic a couple of weeks ago, (must be a TA), he said he had one customer who would be Ambassador status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleClark Posted February 13, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Okay, I can see we have a lack of responses. Is anyone close to Ambassador level? If so how may points away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where near, I still have 571 to go, 46 away from Platinum Plus. I'm thinking I won't make the Ambassador. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchdiva Posted February 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Our BFF's just celebrated 900 days (not points but 900 days) on NCL. Not sure what that makes them... Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted February 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Just off the Dawn today and the Latitudes Rep said there are 43 ambassadors in the company. I have 305 days, so I've quite a ways to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishguy1970 Posted February 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I am currently Platinum Plus. I am 300 points away from Ambassador. My question is this; Once you get to Ambassador and you take your free cruise then what? Do you get a free cruise once a year once you get to that level? or is it just one free cruise. If that is the case, then I would care less getting to that level because you would take your free cruise then you will have the same benefits as Platinum plus except you call yourself latitudes Ambassador:cool:, it just would not make any sense, there must be more than that. In other words i would have to take at least 2-3 cruises a year to make 699 points.:confused::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also states the type of cabin you get too. Just which I can find it again. Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drb247 Posted February 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I reckon the Latitudes program will have changed at least three times by the time it takes me to do the 50+ cruises it will take me to get from 237 points to Ambassador. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted February 13, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Reward programs are always fluid. On this cruise alone, they realized the dinner with the officers didn't work. I don't know the details because I have no desire to eat with the officers, but only two people of the eleven plus on board chose to do that and she felt it was too restrictive, so something about that has changed. As the number of ambassadors increase it may be amended, but 700 is a distant goal for most people. And with only a handful now, there is not the pressure that exists from your lower levels.

I went back and looked over my notes to myself, and you are right, there are only 32. 43 applied to something else we were discussing. Either way, that's not a lot of folks. She also told me that since they began working on this level several had died. One was a lady I had sailed with several times. She had over 700 days when I first met her and that was several years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had over 150 cruises then. She is a retired teacher from upstate NY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karoo Posted February 15, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Only just over halfway (386), but I never book higher than a balcony and usually around the 5-6 week mark so I'm thinking that's a milestone I don't think I'll make.

karoo Posted February 15, 2017 #23 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yes- I met Sylva on the Sun last year- maybe Alaska. She said she was going to switch cruise lines as she couldn't get the salad and Escargot with the complimentary Le Bistro voucher anymore so and wasn't happy about that, but with the promise of a complimentary 7 day cruise I'm sure she'll be back.

TrumpyNor Posted February 15, 2017 #24 Share Posted February 15, 2017 After this years cruises we will be at 419 Points, and those Points we have "collected" since 2003. And even though we only got "grandfathered" 1 point per cruise night for all previous NCL cruises the last time the Latitude program changed (in 2011?), we did however receive additional Points on each cruise because we always booked more than 9 months in advace. So with "only" 281 points to go until we reach the Ambassador status, with the new Points system I believe that will take us around 15-20 more years if we continue at the current "speed". Meaning that I would have to pay normal price for quite many cruises before I would be able to get my "free" cruise. And since that is just a "one-time-thing" I am actually very happy with my Platinum Plus status - beside of the one-time-free-cruise an Ambassador status wouldn't give me much more than what I currently would get as Platinum Plus... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landl cruiser Posted February 15, 2017 #25 Share Posted February 15, 2017 You and Liz? Yes.:) We are cruising out on the Escape in 10 days. We will get to the next level after that cruise. We took our first NCL cruise on the POA ten years ago in Feb 2007. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
