MSC yacht club, same price as RC but a much better experience and better private dining, drink pkg, etc. Need more examples? You may want to get out more and look around. Same $, BIG differences. Well when you are on X, RCI is getting paid. MSC ... good you gave it to the man good there. You rock! 😆😂 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LA told us on our 2019 Freedom cruise that seven hearts and cloud nine was going to become the new SL.

You rock! 😆😂 😇 About the response on CC I'd expect when someone is challenged by the pom-pom crowd and responds with facts to back up their position. When will RC just man up and just change the signs on the CLs to SLs? Easy temporary band-aid for one of the numerous problems they themselves have created with their C&A program. Would end another saga in the perk decline slide. As a very long term leading pom-pom shaker on this board so famously said/wrote years ago (paraphrasing) "If you have promised me something for my loyalty do not make me chase it down or beg for it. If you no longer want to do it, then change the program". Off to pack for a month at sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted February 23, 2020 #35 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If they continue to send out the “for your comfort and to avoid overcrowding...” email for long enough perhaps they hope people will forget how it was before... 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cruise lines have you found that offer three and a half hours of free drinks a day, every day, particularly when you are starting over at the bottom of their program? We won't abandon RC completely and are on Allure this year but are spreading our cruising with other cruiselines now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisethrulife77 Posted February 23, 2020 #40 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Maybe it’s about time they rethink letting family members (don’t mean spouses) obtain same status as their parents & keep that status when they move from that address. They need to review their records & see how many cruises people actually took themselves. There are people with 500 & over points that took 2 cruises but kept their parents status when they moved out & now their children also have same status. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow any of the thousands of threads on this topic, you will see that this point is mentioned hundreds of times. The other side of that coin is that those children, when they are looking for a vacation as adults, are much more likely to choose to cruise on Royal Caribbean because of this connection. And this, after all, is the purpose of a loyalty program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the kids & the kids children decide to cruise let them start earning their own points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason that it exists is for Royal Caribbean to keep you booking Royal Caribbean cruises. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then Diamond Lounge won’t be overcrowded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
