I see many kids with parents that are in the C&A program. Those parents sign their children up as well. Then there is the "kids sail free" program. Soo...not only did the kids not have to pay for their points to add up...neither did the parents. Me, I had to do it the hard way....paid for every cruise myself. 😮 Been there, done that. 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ships now have digital stations and do not have hundreds of printed photos on display, which I fully understand given the waste. Now they are only printed when purchased. Presumably the 'N.A for digital' refers to no free digital copies? You log on to the screen with your cabin number. Check through your photos,pick your free photo and you are given a time to come back to collect your photo,then log out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_UK Posted June 14, 2019 Author #31 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks all for the clarification and info re the extra amenities. I'm going on Symphony in October and after that will be bang on 175, which means I should be D+ for Rhapsody in May 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted June 15, 2019 #35 Share Posted June 15, 2019 16 hours ago, Mark_UK said: My next cruise will take me to exactly 175 points and I wondered if I will therefore become Diamond+ or whether it needs to be over 175 (i.e 176+). I assume I will get it but don't want to be disappointed! I will also be 32 years old... Are there younger D+'s out there? Occasionally I feel judged when going into the lounge as I get looks as though I've strolled in uninvited, or I'm asked to show my card when others are not. TIA My four grandchildren all under 7 years old are D+ and now getting cruise points on their own. They'll be young Pinnacles someday. Age means nothing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is amazing to me. A digital copy costs basically nothing. I'm not sure where, in Royals math, that this would be an excessive benefit if we were allowed to have a digital copy instead of the print. I always get the complimentary 8x10, take a good photo of it with my phone, then throw the 8x10 in the trash when I get home. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The looks are usually just making sure you belong there How does one look at someone and know they belong in the lounge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit-Cruiser Posted June 15, 2019 #40 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Our son is 24 & diamond plus. He's been d+ for a good few years now. He sometimes gets looks when he walks into lounges. He was once asked by another cruiser if he was "allowed" to be in the Concierge lounge, to which he replied, "well they've let you in, so the bar is obviously set nice & low - I reckon I'll get away with it". The look on the guy's face was a picture. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie FF Posted June 15, 2019 #43 Share Posted June 15, 2019 My kids turned Diamond + on their 19th Birthday cruise, the same as their parents, as we were on all cruises together. Now they have a couple more years to make Pinnacle.:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some are good and some are bad. It seems like to you they are all bad. The only thing they did was spend more money than you . They earned the privileges they get by paying for them, they didn't get them for free or through some connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
