Rare John&LaLa Posted March 9, 2019 #878 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I whole heartedly reccomend everyone read Andy's Live review from September. 35 Pinnacles, 10% of the suite capacity, ruined his trip. Pay attention to his fascination with window seats. 😉 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Status is rarely even brought up or flaunted in any way. That's the way is should be. Are you holed up in your cabin 24/7? It seems like I can't go anywhere without someone talking about their status, or practically pushing their gold sea pass card in your face to make sure you see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never seen what you've described among hundreds of direct contacts on 10 cruises to date...including on Oasis, Allure, and Harmony with all those passengers...nor at the large main dining room table, which we prefer (so that we can meet new fellow cruisers).

By having C&A status levels RCL have created this and if it makes people happy that's great by me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare countess5 Posted March 9, 2019 #893 Share Posted March 9, 2019 On 3/6/2019 at 7:15 PM, steveru621 said: What issues with the C&A program? "I heard nothing but issues with the C&A program" Certainly, if you don't need free photos, internet, balcony discounts, or free laundry bags, that's your decision. But on a typical cruise, it's worth well over $600 to us. I don't think it was your intention to trash the C&A program, but that's the way it came across. One continuous 24 HR Internet $12.99, Free Photo $19.99, Balcony discount around $200, not sure where you are getting free laundry, a discount yes. Times two for DW and me for both being Diamond, for some reason does not add up to well over $600. I am not trashing C&A, but it is not as great as some people think it is, just my opinion. Oh, by the way the 3 drinks a night, low grade liquor. People asked why I brought out my sea pass during the “free drink” time.....I like a better liquor.

We like longer cruises and take advantage of the offered drinks. My perks can easily add up to over $1000. per B2B cruise. If you do not take advantage of the offers, then they are of no value to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I would say the average person does not use half or more the things listed. Yes we used the 20% discount on SPA twice Let’s just say each person gets what they want and what they feel is value.

We’ve encountered it once, in the MDR for breakfast... we were seated with several people, including one guy who was a diamond. He spent the entire time bragging about all of his cruises, and never left room for anyone else to say anything. He was so, so boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Suite passenger pictured was a real class act. Couldn’t have been worse then a few P’s I witnessed on Presidents Cruise. Throwing wine on cruisers. Taking tables in CK without reservation because they were entitled to the CK. And this was the only only ones I personally witnessed.
