Rare John&LaLa Posted February 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just got an offer from Celebrity for 15 bonus points on select TA and TP cruises in 2019. I know Royal gave an extra pt for Diamonds in December, 3 pts for onboard spending on Freedom, and an extra point per day for suites over summer..

Biker19 Posted February 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Those points are not worth the same as on the RCI C&A scale. Folks will still want low prices on repo cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingpluto Posted February 12, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2019 They still do Diamonds in December? I haven't heard that in forever. What was the promo? 1 point total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted February 12, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 12, 2019 As often as I read that there are too many d, D+ and Ps it does not seem like something they need to do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted February 12, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Remember, this is Royal. One department doesn't seem to confer with another. If revenue can get the ok to dish out some extra points, C&A may not have been consulted. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is because they give out status like candy - you can give your status to all your significant friends and they can pass it on to their significant friends afterwards!

Rare h20skibum Posted February 12, 2019 #15 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point they went to a point system based on cabin category like Celebrity. It would take longer for some people to move up. Past Reviews post 184 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, our cruises in 2017 were on Celebrity. I would hate to lose D+ because we sailed another RCL cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summer promo I remember was double points for suites. We received a total of 28pts(instead of 14pts) for each 7 night sailing on Freedom. This promo happened during December of 2015 I believe.

Although their loyalty program is no where near as generous as Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra points would be great for those on the borderline to the next tier. I sail multiple lines and I'm not close to the next level on any of them. I received the same email and would not be compelled to book a cruise with this promotion. As a matter of fact I read the highlight and deleted it immediately without reading it completely. I only read promotions that offer 2 perks or OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted February 13, 2019 #22 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I wonder if they would double my points if I posted how much I loved the exceptional competence and skill of their IT department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
