just sailing Posted February 26, 2006 Author #2 Share Posted February 26, 2006 We just recently became Diamond Members and were curious on how many Diamond Plus Members are out there? There has to be a few Diamond Plus Members out there. If not how about Diamond Members? We're still curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMoney Posted February 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Do you mean how many DP are on these boards? Or with RCI? I'm DP, but I have no idea how many others there are. It has to be pretty small though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negc Posted February 26, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2006 My wife and I are Diamond plus with 30 RCI cruise credits to our name. Know a few others on these boards but have no idea as to the total. On many of our cruises, there have been guests with nearly a hundred RCI cruises to their credit, but on our last two cruises we had the most past cruises of those sailing with us.

pacthepuppies Posted February 26, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2006 the thought of over a hundred cruises just blows me away... how much they have seen, how much has changed.... I would sure love to spend a few hours with one of those 'lifers'...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on being Diamond Plus and Thanks for the reply. The last cruise we were on there were very few Diamond Members which made us wonder how many were out there. We have found the information on the cruise critic board to be very helpful but knowing someone that has "been there and done that" especially someone who has a lot of cruise credits makes us a lot more comfortable when reading threads on this board.

Nick Needs To Know Posted February 27, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm new. How many cruises until Diamond status is reached? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted February 27, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You are Gold status when you have sailed once with Royal Caribbean. You reach Platinum status when you have 5 cruise credits. You reach Diamond status when you have 10 cruise credits. You reach Diamond Plus status when you have 24 cruise credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJane Posted February 27, 2006 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2006 The Diamond Plus designation is fairly new. On our last two cruises, Serenade last July and Enchantment last August, we were the only Diamond Plus passengers. (We have sailed on RCI 31 times) When I walked into the Crown and Anchor lounge for the first time, they knew who I was! I guess they looked up our boarding card pictures. Anyway, on both cruises we got quite a bit of special attention including a fantastic upgrade on the Enchantment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you like cruising? lol They should know who you are and take very good care of you. Congrats on being DP! Smooth sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin' molly Posted February 27, 2006 #13 Share Posted February 27, 2006 We are Diamond members at this point with 24, but June we will board with Diamond Plus I guess. We just attained number 24 in February. I don't really expect to see much difference but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zotzer Posted February 27, 2006 #15 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Gmoney... I see your sig says B2B Inaugural on FOS. Are these pre-inaugural, or are you going to be on the June 4th sailing? Look forward to meeting you, if it's the latter!! Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMoney Posted February 27, 2006 #17 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi Tracy - I am on a pre-inaug Freedom, and then the 6/4 and 6/11 sailings. It's my birthday cruise. :) It will be great to meet you! I'm really glad you said hi. Let's stay in touch. I love having something to look forward to, especially when its 23-but-feel-like-10 degrees outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just attained number 24 in February. I don't really expect to see much difference but we will see.[/quote']There are a few neat extras for Diamond Plus members. Before your cruise you should get a call from C&A asking what special amenity you would like in your stateroom (some of the things offered have been slippers, flowers, RCI beach towel). Also a few weeks prior to sailing you can request, and will receive if available, an upgrade. On our last cruise we received a complimentary upgrade from a D1 to an Owners Suite. Onboard we also had our choice of a bridge tour, galley tour, or a backstage theater tour. Some of those tours were also available to other guests but I think the bridge tour was pretty much limited. There are a lot of Diamond members (we have been on cruises where they had to open a satellite concierge lounge to handle everyone) so I don't think it will be long until there are quite a few Diamond Plus members as well.

abmaharg Posted February 27, 2006 #19 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I am curious about the number of DP also. We are DP with twenty-seven (27)cruise credits with RCI and thirty-three (33) cruises total. We are hoping for an invite on the Freedom promotional cruise to nowhere. RCI is currently inviting DP based upon the number of cruise credits. We are currently booked on the Enchantment on 4-6-06 and the member cruise on the Freedom on 10-15-06.

zotzer Posted February 27, 2006 #20 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It's my birthday cruise. :) Mine too!!! Well, to celebrate anyway. My actual birthday is on Memorial Day...the big four oh (no!) :) I'll be here on CC probably almost daily until then, so I will be staying in touch for sure. Warning though....I'll be hating you on Sunday the 11th when I am disembarking and you are sipping the beverage of your choice on the pool deck! :o Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbie0253 Posted February 27, 2006 #22 Share Posted February 27, 2006 We are just plain old Diamond. I have a hard time thinking about diamond plus....it seems so far away...LOL Congrats to everyone on CC who is DP :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubrrick Posted February 27, 2006 #23 Share Posted February 27, 2006 My DW and I know that we have a ways to go to be DP. We are achieving the status of Diamond this coming weekend, and it's a long way to go for the DP status. We know that someday we will make it, but we seem to alternate between RCCl, X and HAL, with a few other lines thrown in as we find great deals. We are always treated so well on RCCL and X that it's hard to cruise on other lines..........only some of the others seem to have give aways on pricing from time to time!!

FOXTROT Posted February 27, 2006 #24 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Sorry we are lowly Diamond members for another 6 weeks. Our next cruise will put us at Diamond Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother doing any work yourself when you know that someone else will answer your question in return for far less effort on your part? ;) ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
