Still on its little card.😉 LOL...thanks...but for some reason I seemed to have survived without getting one. 😉 It was actually a couple years later that I actually even saw one. Ooooo...ahhhh...little piece of green glass instead of the little piece of white glass on Diamond pin. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to earn the higher status on the respective line.

Starting at zero with them, but nice to have Elite level perks for our first cruise. Just need to get on one of the ships at some point. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was kind of hoping the old set up would return with the (hopefully) end of Covid era masks, vaccines, Covid tests...etc. Sure would be nice to get back to normal again...in all respects. 🤕 Some will remain the same. I am told the 6 ( Pinnacle) drinks a day will remain. While I like CK, I can't imagine that full seating will ever happen. There were issues pre-covid. I believe that those who pay thousands for a suite should get priority over P for CK seating. Just to many Pinnacle members on certain sailings. Last week, Allure only had 50% capacity and we had over 70 Pinnacles. The week prior was fewer passengers and over 80 Pinnacles. We were lucky and had several dinners in CK, as were were not sailing in a suite. I really don't mind the masks or testing . I feel safer on a ship than anywhere else. We are negative when we got on, if we are B2B we got tested the last day and start another crusie as negative. Just a pain if you leave your mask in the cabin and have to go back to get it. The protocols are inconsistent. MDR tables are painfully close yet we had to leave a chair between us and the next party in the ice rink and still wear a mask! I did as I was told and had a great cruise. Next up is a S2S, of Mariner ( a night in Cocoa Beach) and then Harmony. M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only goes up to Elite, but that is OK. We've enjoyed several Celebrity sailings. Most other lines give nothing to RCCL C&A members. We joined the MSC club and our status matches nicely with them. We are looking for a cruise that works with our schedule. I think MSC had a time limit of taking a crusie after getting a status match. And I believe their status does not last forever, like RCCL.

How sad is someone's life to actually be offended/upset by a simple little gold pin on a stranger's chest? 😏 Live and let live. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I chose the beach towel for my next cruise (1st at D+). I'm not sure what I will pick for future cruises. With 5 drink vouchers, I really don't need wine and don't really feel like carrying it home (although I will only be flying home on one of my future cruises). With my current bookings, I will be 3 points short of "D++" 😉 I'm seriously thinking of adding the prior week to my next cruise, to get "over the hump" (and another crystal block). 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been paying attention to the mask thing anymore but the last I read was 16 years and older needed to be vaccinated. Onboard the ship fully vaccinated passengers are not required to wear a mask inside or outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've promised to mail them to me when they come back in stock on 3 different ships.

On a recent Allure B2B we ordered C&A towels as one of our three gifts. Actually the gift is for 2 towels so we came home with 4. (Two towels on each leg of the back 2 back). We were happy to have the towels as we found we weren’t drinking the wine gift. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
