Rare island lady Posted July 7, 2017 #51 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Don't feel bad. We have been Platinum for 3 cruises. On the last night of our last cruise we got our little pin congratulating us for making Platinum. This is one night away from Emerald. And, both DH and I are Platinum but we got one pin. :rolleyes: Very simple to get your pins. Just go to the Loyalty Ambassador on board, show your sea pass card with your C&A level printed on it, and ask for a couple of Emerald pins. They always keep large plastic bags of them on hand. Looks just like a Diamond pin, but instead has a very tiny piece of green glass in it, instead of the clear glass inside Diamond pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted July 7, 2017 #54 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Emerald level was invented only to prolong the trip to Diamond. I guess I forgot that. Thanks for the reminder. We were platinum at the time the Emerald level was introduced. . . . Ocean Boy that was our view of the new level. No real advantage. [small additional balcony discount] and it took us 2 additional cruises to get to diamond. We seldom sailed in suites. In addition, we ended up with one less cruise point than we had nights at sea. [we had taken longer cruises] We tried without success to get them to give the extra night to us. Arrg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzieanna Posted July 7, 2017 Author #57 Share Posted July 7, 2017 oh sorry - the badges were just there sitting on our bed one night. I actually bought a ships pin on Wednesday! It was our Island's National Day, and there was a boat called MV Balmoral (not the fred olsen one) and it did a lap around our Island. Great fun. Lots of open pipework and wood,creaky bits and doors banging... and rocking from side to side whilst inhaling the smell of oil!! just like the old days! heaven! She is run by a charity, so I bought all sorts of tat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. And are you sure that is really glass in the plastic pin or is it plastic??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are you sure that is really glass in the plastic pin or is it plastic??? It is metal, but the chips (D+) often fall out. They will replace it.

KuffMUp Posted July 7, 2017 #63 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm not too consumed by status. Once had access to the concierge lounge and was so fed up with people's attitudes that I never went back after the first day. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to make it a B2B to get the point.:) Does the Pinnacle badge have real Diamonds? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted July 8, 2017 #73 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Wow...I sure missed out!! Drats! ;) A little off topic, but I've always wondered.....if you move up a notch while on a cruise, do you get the benefits of the higher status for that cruise?

Rare BecciBoo Posted July 8, 2017 #74 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I can't wait to see some of the comments you receive based on your post. Will be fun to watch them figure out how it is possible to start at Diamond. Mac :pand we started at Captain's Club Elite on Celebrity too.....

Unfortunately, no! Wish we could get our Diamond Plus perks on our upcoming Vision, we will be 2 points over on that cruise. I can't imagine reaching Pinnacle, even with only suites...at one to two cruises a year, I will be dead and stinkin......or 104!
