I just thought @WeMissSeaViewwas saying that nobody even acknowledged their ascension. Maybe I was mistaken about that. We were NOT acknowledged on our 700 cruise. The LA told us it would be done on the next cruise of our B2B. This was on the Freedom almost six years ago. Interesting thing on that second cruise. It had the luggage valet and we were both charged $20 for using it. I went to customer service and he told me that free luggage valet was not a Pinnacle benefit. I pulled up the list of Pinnacle benefits that the LA gave me that cruise and showed it to him. He then had his manager come over and showed him the list. Then the manager called the LA to make sure it was correct. He must have thought I printed the list out myself. He did not act happy to take the two $20 charges off of our bill. Many memories from this B2B cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you wanted a smaller shop but keep in mind that smaller can be too small. We turned P on the first leg of a B3B (3/4/3 night) on Enchantment. No top tier party on that ship so no ceremony. We had several friends who happened to be on board and hoped to celebrate with us but no ceremony, cake flowers etc. Really all we wanted was the photo. The LA told us that since we were B2B they would recognize the pinnacle status on the next leg at the Captain’s welcome that they hold on the 4 night. Then we could get the photo. Or we could stage a photo with the captain. We got the photo op. (No cake, no flowers etc.,.... but that was ok). We love the photo. All ships handle it differently. We knew there was no top tier on the three night but one of our friends suggested a small gathering maybe in Schooner bar or bridge. They spoke to the LA but she declined. Fast forward a few weeks and the stratum in delivered but Caribbean is misspelled! They sent a new corrected version. m It was not that long ago that RCI dumped the upper tier party on cruises with 5 nights or less...not sure why since (IMHO) it is really a great PR event, especially with "newbies" that are just trying out cruising, or pax (like I was) that have not retired yet and had tough work schedules. You find a lot of those on the shorter sailings. We stick to 7 night or longer cruises (even a 7 night seems short now), but we do a lot of B2Bs. On all of the small ships of 7 nights, they always had some sort of award ceremony for newly minted Pinnies...even up to the last January B2B2B Vision, and the B2B Rhapsody we were on in February..then of course everything shut down. Will be an interesting re-start...that's for sure. Whenever that may happen...which is the big question right now. 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( there are a few restrictions like no ships less than one year old and perhaps a few black out holidays). We applied ours towards a 9 night Canada/New England cruise. We had to pay a balance as the cruise was more than $2400. If I recall you have about 6 months to book and a year or so to take the cruise.
