Question for Pinnacles?

[SadmanCruiser]

If all goes to plan, we will get to 700 points on the Symphony Transatlantic in 2018

 

We will start the Symphony cruise with 692 points.

 

My question is: Will we have access to Coastal Kitchen form the start of the cruise, the day we reach 700 or will it be on the next cruise?

 

Also, will we get a gold card at the start of the Symphony cruise?

All of this is up to the LA on board. Pinnacle is the only level that they recognize on the cruise it is earned. I've seen gold cards (I think white on Oasis class) handed out after the Pinnacle recognition.

[SadmanCruiser]

Thank you. Might just have to book another cruise before the Symphony.

When we became Pinnacle we were in a GS anyway so had a gold card and all the perks that went with it, however we did not get the complimentary Internet. Congratulations in advance.

[SadmanCruiser]

Thank you. It looks like trying to sneak another cruise in somewhere,

 

Already got Vision, Rhapsody, Independence and a B2B on the Navigator - hard life!

Per Crown and Anchor, you do not receive the benefits until after the cruise that you achieve 700 or more points. However, some ships do do special things on the actual 700 day cruise. You become recognized in a ceremony but the gold card etc is after that one is complete.

Im sure I read that is the case for every tier apart from Pinnacle - which is immediate as you hit 700 points :-)

Congrats SadmanCruiser. I'm sure it took a lot of work but someone had to do it. 😁

All depends on the LA. We reached 700 points on the fourth night of a b2b on 7 night cruises. We were recognized at the top tier party, given champagne and had picture taken with some crew(not the captain) during that cruise. The LA gave us the free internet immediately for the remainder of that cruise. The gold card was issued on the next cruise.

That might be with C&A has told you, but it all depends on the HD and LA on board as to what benefits you will get on your Pinnacle Cruise. This is just another thing to add to the list of inconsistencies on ships regarding the method in which you are recognized.

Congratulations Sadman. We booked an extra cruise to make sure we will turn Pinnacle before the second leg of our transpacific.

I guessed it would be as there were over 200 Pinnacles on the Harmony crossing last year. The lines for the Diamond lounge were horrible!

I would. Or if you aren't already in a JS or above on one of your booked cruises, up your cabin to a JS to get the double points.

I think there were 5-6 new pinnacle, just not sure what extras they would have gotten with so much attention being diverted elsewhere

I think I will sneak another cruise in :D

 

Might try to upgrade to a JS on one of our U.S. bookings or leave the wife at home for the double points ;), it really is a shame that we cannot do the same on U.K. bookings.
