stoneman56 Posted December 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2019 OH and I on the second week B2B on the Seaside, both Diamonds. We have so far accumulated 4 chocolate ships, 2 invites to Diamond get together, 2 speciality dinners, 4 gifts, 2 baskets of fruit, 2 lots of chocolate strawberries and 4 complimentary photos with the captain. Quite a haul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a haul If you are both new to Diamond level make sure you see the rep and get your black lapel pins, unfortunatly these are still black and not diamonds yet 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneman56 Posted December 18, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) I made a slight mistake in the post, we are on a 2 week cruise not a B2B. So most of the Double goodies we’ve received we aren’t really entitled to Edited December 18, 2019 by stoneman56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get the pins when you first cruise on a new level, if you go and see the latitudes future cruise rep he/she will have a stock of then in their desk. They are quite nice: Edited December 18, 2019 by ziggyuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chat with the VC rep last year. The rule is that if you are on a 2 week cruise you SHOULD receive everything once, as it’s a continuous booking. If on a B2B (ie to separate bookings joined together) then you get double bubble. I was told by her that I was lucky to get all the extras as it was clearly a mistake.

My thought exactly....on all lines we have cruised, when pins were delivered we just left them in the cabin. Now, if our current diamond (replacing black) status resulted in a diamond pin on our next sailing.....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them and they represent a memory, I like it on my lanyard but thats me. Some people like fridge magnets and all sorts of tat from the logo store thats them. The joy of different tastes.

stoneman56 Posted December 19, 2019 Author #18 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The pins are desirable because that have one special ingredient, they’re free, and who doesn’t get excited about free stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted December 19, 2019 #19 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Never knew they existed. Also never saw the future cruise person in Topsail. Certainly wouldn't go and stand in line out in the ship for a free pin. If I remember, I'll ask my butler about it the next time I'm on board.
