Yup, as I mentioned also.  LA will have big plastic baggies of them.  😉  

 

Wonder what they would do if we asked for our "DS" pin??  🤔🤣

Not Royal.  It is a change purse from a resort we used to go to in the Catskills, so double memories🤪

Checking with eBay, many folks are attempting to sell their pins to pay for more cruises.

We have cruised on 6 different cruise lines.In hindsight my thinking is that we probably should have stayed with one line.However,we had wonderful cruises on Cunard,Celebrity and HAL.

Lenquixote66 - I did the same early on.  I have done Windjammer Barefoot Cruises and Carnival too - so my total is 5.   Since my first with Royal I get regular repeat offers but did not get those on the other ships which is why my last 6 have been on Royal - I made Platinum the second day of my last one so will make Emerald in 2

more cruises after this next one:  1/18

IMHO:  this would take the fun out of earning them,  but to each, his/her own.  🤷🏽‍♀️

That was hard to believe, but yes there is one for $40 plus s&H.  Crazy.  Our never left the room.  I guess I thru money away, of course that assumes someone would pay $45.

Always wanted to go to Catskills!  It’s on my bucket list.  What resort?  I see a timeshare visit in my future 👍

The Thompson House Resort in Windham.  We took many family trips there.  My husband’s cousins own a restaurant there.  It’s a small country community but beautiful

scenery.  We always found plenty to do.  Villa Roma in Calicoon NY is another great place.  They have time shares plus rooms to book.

One of my daughters and her husband have a home in that area.It is too quiet for me.

Paying for the tier level pins is more accurate. Well worth being in the top three tier levels. Great perks/benefits.

You got that right my DS friend....perks are very much appreciated.  What's not to love...enjoying our cruises.. AND getting those perks on top of it.  Score one for us.  😍

Our pins remain nailed to the card and stuck in my sock drawer. Wouldn't mind the fancy Diamond Plus one though.

We never got our first 2 pins, and went to the LA.  She gave us both 🙂

Yup, they always have a bag of those pins.  It's just that "last pin" they don't keep a supply of.  😉

Not necessarily, my husband checked with the LA on several ships when he wanted to get the D+ pins but was told to call C&A when we got home as they did not have any.  He called, they were supposed to be mailed but did not get them.😂

That's not the last pin.  😉 

 

The D+ pins...Yes, agree...I have a stock of 5 or 6 D+ pins that the LA was happy to supply if I forgot to bring one on a cruise.  (Looks very dapper on DH's tux lapel).

Enjoy the adventure as you get them!  Just have to have that "last pin" ordered.  😉

I wasn’t talking about the last pin, just the D+🙄

We always got our pins delivered to our room.  My daughter even got an Emerald pin instead of her Platinum pin.  At least she will already have it when she soon turns Emerald!!!!

As only a Platinum, should I endeavor to forge a DS pin for you?  I may not be up to such a lofty and arduous task!  🤣😋
