djjoe Posted December 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Would I be correct in assuming that no C&A points are given for a last minute cancellation for medical reasons? I lost all the money except taxes of $115. I doesn't seem quite fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted December 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2018 My guess, based on prior posts, you are correct, no C&A points, and it is not fair. My understanding is points are awarded for days actually cruising not for the days you just paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseguy1016 Posted December 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2018 No different than paying for your entire family to go on a cruise. You only get points for nights that YOU are on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this happened to you but the rules are very specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robandana Posted December 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I think it actually does say you get a point for each day sailed....not paid for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerif Posted December 30, 2018 #10 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Agree with all of the above. If you do not sail, you do not get points. Had you chosen to get insurance, you would be out nothing, but that was your choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted December 31, 2018 #12 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The insurance statement was accurate. If thev OP had insurance, the original post would not be an issue. We we had to cancel a cruise a week or so prior to sailing due to medical issues and received a FULL refund. We had the simple RCCL insurance. We had to provide a lot of medical paperwork and we waited a few weeks for the refund. Back to the OP -sorry you had to cancel for medical issues. Can you imagine if you could book a cruise, pay, not sail and get the points! That would be a great plan for those who have expensive travel to get to a port or can’t get away but want a few points. I guess that would be buying points. Sometimes the travel is more expensive than the cruise. We are 3 points from the next level. It would have been great to book a cheap inside cabin on a 3 night cruise and not actually cruise rather than incur expensive air travel, ground transportation, pre cruise hotel, time away from work, pet boarding, etc. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugtech Posted December 31, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Saw a person at the Loyalty desk get points for being on a cruise for 2 of the 15 nights before being medevaced off the ship a month before. She got 4 points because she was in a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a fair compromise in the extraordinary event. Still wouldn´t give the OP nothing as they cancelled all together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the rule is "points for nights sailed." She sailed for two nights in a suite, so she got four points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word has it she tried to board the ship again on day 8 in Jordan but was refused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact, "If you do not sail, you do not get points. Had you chosen to get insurance, you would be out nothing." That is a fact. " The snarky " but that was your choice." That didn't need to be said, I believe the OP understands this. Snarky seems to be the normal for 'some" people on forums in general. CC does have it's fair share of dart shooters. Try to have a little compassion for others and not go out of your way to make them feel worse than they probably already do.

There's no such rule that I'm aware of - as soon as you step foot on the ship, you can debark at any day thereafter and get the full points as if you were on the cruise the whole time. People leave ships early all the time and usually get full points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the T&C´s of Crown & Anchor: Cruise Points are awarded to the guest whose name is entered into the reservation at the time of booking and completes the sailing.

I think almost everyone who has ever left a cruise early will report that they got full points, including 3 times myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
