Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 19, 2020 #281 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Anyone consider that these double points making more Pinnacles, might chase the Pinns out of the SL faster?

Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 19, 2020 #286 Share Posted October 19, 2020 The double points is their “payment” for the interest free loan, from the die hard cruiser. That is, if the ship sails. Ingenious move on their part to increase cash on hand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino D Posted October 19, 2020 #288 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I read this whole thread at once, so I apologize for the brain dump of comments. At least I fought off the temptation to quote. When they got serious about only selling partial capacity, the fare increase was a necessity. Funny that caved and gave the double points to people who were already booked. Was it the backlash or fear that people would tie them up by cancelling and rebooking Does anyone know what happens to the double points if the cruise gets cancelled and you have to rebook? Did I miss it? I get my blocks like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/ROYAL-CARIBBEAN-CRUISE-CRYSTAL-BLOCK-3-D-ETCHED-PAPERWEIGHT-OF-FREEDOM-SHIP-/372688830663 Not as much fun, but a very cheap wat to collect em all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunks Posted October 19, 2020 #290 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It is an amazement to me how they can announce double points and some act like they are offended. My favorite ones are the posts that say...."they shouldnt count for existing bookings......they shouldnt count for anything below suites...it will add to lounge over crowding...." My thought was ...wow! Great news!...After all, we have 15 cruises booked for next year although we doubt many will sail. Who knows when Europe will open? Annie and I just roll with it.We get all our points one day at a time....the old fashioned way. Had we done all our sailing on RCCL we would be Pinnacle by now, but we didnt. We have no complaints.

It is a generous promotion, and especially for those who had 2020 sailings canceled and are sailing in 2021. (As long as it is for existing bookings also). It will be a boost to all levels, especially if the criteria to reach each level remains the same. It will be nice that so many people may have the benefits of crown and anchor society higher tiers. m I hope this is true for already existing cruises for 2021, I have an Owners Suite, so how many points would that be? For 8 nights, not to familiar with the points. I'm only Emerald at 59 pts at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points are not awarded until after it sails. Probably like most promos of you gave to rebook you rebook under current promos.

Either 3 or 4 depending on whether they are awarding double points on the base points or the total points as in a suite you get 1 base point plus one extra point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
