How many Rci trips to make Emerald??

[Ocean Dancer]

Nope. You have to give it back. It's not worth keeping anyway.

Agree, thanks for clarifying. It would be nice to get one embroidered with your initials though. That may spark more people wearing them about the ship.:*

Oh good, that's what we need, another robe appropriateness thread.

I think they felt it would take the pain away from making Diamond harder to attain when they made the major changes in 2011.

 

Why was it harder to attain after 2011? Because of the nights vs credits?

Two reasons:

 

 

They raised the points needed to 80. Used to be 10 credits, which was normalized to 70 points.

 

They made cruises shorter than 7 days accumulate fewer points than 7-day cruises. Before 2011, you could make Diamond with 5 weekend (15 total days) cruises in a JS.

If they had I'd almost be Pinnacle now. (y)

 

If only one could use all accumulated points on every cruise line :rolleyes:

Royal never offered extra points for booking early.

 

NCL just ended a few months ago too. I don't like it but it ain't coming back. I didn't Royal never did that.

C&A began in 1997, did people get credit for trips made prior to that? We had 8 trips ( none with Royal) prior to that.

It applied to cruises booked after Oct 4, 2013.

 

I don't like to be pedantic (ok, it doesn't bother me at all ;) ), but double points for solo cruisers began on October 3, 2013.

Thanks, I'll change my notes.:)

We made Emerald in 5 cruises, and could have done it in less, as two of the cruises were short (4 and 6 night).

 

On my 6th cruise, the first we sailed as Emerald, we earned enough points to make Diamond.

 

So, our next cruise we do our first sailing as Diamond with 82 points.

 

Sailing in JS or above, certainly helps build points quickly.

JS passengers on the Mariner repo will earn 82 points on one voyage. Granted it is officially three legs.

Go YOU! That's great.

 

I'll hopefully make it to be old enough to retire so I can go on more than a couple weeks of vacation per year. 😢

Nice. Just as a matter of curiosity, were you able to keep your same cabin for all 6 cruises?
