Green Recruit Posted February 11, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It's always the cruise after. Congrats! Teri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted February 11, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Next cruise. No points are actually earned until the cruise is completed, meaning you don’t actually make Diamond until the cruise is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E23NK1 Posted February 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Congrats...we too will become Diamond on our cruise this May...I only hope they dont change the requirements before we get to use the Diamond benefits in a future cruise. I fear they will change the points required or the perks and Diamond will be more like Emerald...which sucks...lol...10 RCL cruises and I get a can of Coke in my room....haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired LEO Posted February 12, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Only Pinnacle is recognized on the cruise that you obtain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really not accurate. You may be 'recognized' at an event but you rarely get any benefits. Heck, some report they didnt even get the invite to Pinnacle lunch. We got CK lunch, Barefoot Beach, and Pinnacle Lunch. And that was after being on ship for 6 weeks prior.

Plenty of lousy LA's out there, but we think he's one of the best. What ship did you turn Pinnacle on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not being able to use the benefits until the next cruise gives us something to look forward to, since we don’t have a future cruise booked, I am not sure when we will finally be able to use them!

I don’t doubt that but I haven’t seen them use a list. Seems a whole lo5 easier to look at your card quickly than searching through hundreds of names on a list.

The concierge approached me with her clipboard and list in hand and asked what stateroom we were in since she did not recognize us. A lot of people seem to sneak in the roped off area of the overflow section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd basically be grandfathered in assuming you complete your May cruise prior to any theoretical changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a demotion in status. Theres now a Diamond lounge on most ships. I'm saying once you're Diamond, you're Diamond. Sure they may change the perks and make it more difficult to obtain, but they won't take the title from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got all the perks, an award ceremony at the upper tier, and her new card given to her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I said "Diamonds were still Diamonds". Before the installation of the Diamond Lounges (after the Ds were ousted out of the CL)...they had the "Diamond Events". We enjoyed them, even though no concierge, only beer/wine/cheap bubbly with bar nuts. Some of the most memorable times were on Freedom during their event. There are DLs on ALL RCI ships except Majesty and Empress. CLs are going away little at a time. Edited February 12, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
