firefly333 Posted June 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The only thing during a cruise is I was able to get a grandeur block that I earned during that cruise. I wanted to take it home. Got it the last night onboard. As above you dont get pts awarded until after the cruise is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted June 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Like the others have said, the rule is you get the award after the cruise has been completed. Like all rules there are exceptions. We were recognized mid-cruise. You can always ask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would talk to them on the first leg and see how they will handle it for you. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will likely be recognized on the first leg, the cruise on which your reach 700 points. You probably are aware that unlike other categories, pinnacle is most always recognized on the cruise reached. The jury is out on whether pinnacle benefits are awarded on that cruise or the next. Speak to the LA when you board the first leg. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinawhitecar Posted June 12, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Congrats to you on your Diamond. We are six nights away from Diamond. We are sailing this month on a “ mattress run”. Booked a 4 night cruise in a suite to earn enough double points to cross the Diamond threshold. The 3rd day we can toast our Diamond in spirit. Next cruise after we will be Diamond! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bummed to hear that we won't be getting our 4 free drinks per day. 😕 The automatic upgrade to the next status level does take some time (2 weeks or more) for RCI's system to happen, however you can ask the Loyalty Ambassador or the Diamond Concierge on your first leg of the B2B cruises to manually change your status and they may do so. The concierge did that for us during a B2B for diamond to diamond plus. Never hurts to ask nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak to the LA when you board the first leg. m They are 2 different ships. So I really need a good LA on leg 1! I am solo on leg 1 then DH joins me (-after I’ve done all the hard work getting to P!) for leg 2. I’m hoping they will recognise him on leg 2 but I kinda doubt that. I’m not expecting P benefits on leg 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you become Diamond during the first leg you will be given Fiamondcstatus for the second leg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted June 13, 2022 #21 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Sorry, you will get there. I was a victim of switching from number of cruises to points per night. Royal switched in 2011 to points. All cruises under 12 days were converted to 1 credit - 7 points. I had several 9 - 10 dayers and they became 7 dayers. I would have become Diamond after 10 cruises accordingly to old system, but had to wait for our 12th cruise as my points were not enough after 10 cruises. Enjoy your cruise!

John Reid Posted June 13, 2022 #23 Share Posted June 13, 2022 As mentioned, status cannot change until the cruise is completed. Back to Backs have flexibility because the qualifying cruise will have been completed. The Loyalty Ambassador can accelerate the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
