Any way to get extra points

[Illbcruzn4life]

Is there anyway to get extra loyalty points other than cruising solo?

[smokeybandit]

Nope. 

[Rogueperson]

Cruising in a Jr. Suite or higher gets you an additional point per day.

[Illbcruzn4life]

Thanks didnt think so. After our next cruise in October we will have 79 points. Have to sneak a short cruise in there somehow so we will have over 80 for the next cruise after October.

You’re going to pay more for the cruise than the diamond benefits are worth.

Unlike Celebrity, RCI doesn’t offer ways to earn extra points every couple of months.

 

I have heard in the past about some offers by email for double points to those already flush with points. 😁 Don’t know if it was only Pinnacles receiving the offers, or D+ too. I seem to remember a Pinnacle mentioning that quite some time ago. Was it you @John&LaLa? Or did I just imagine that? 😂

Diamonds in December went away on Royal many years ago.

Marry a pinnacle, they come available every so often.

Go suites and rack them up quick along with the perks! 😁

You could have sailed solo in a suite during the restart which was 6x.

Depends on what they pay for a short 3 day sailing and what length of cruise their next one is.

 

4 free drinks a day for a 7 day sailing at $15 a drink is $840

Yep, math is your friend.  Plus you get to cruise for an extra 3 days.

We were suppose to get quadruple points on Jewel back in January. Booked under the double points promotion last year and got single cabins with no supplement. Royal cancelled  to use Jewel as a quarantine ship for crew and we didn't get quadruple points, just double when we rebooked on Allure for May as the solo cabin deal did not exist. The good deals don't exist anymore.

I thought the drink allowance was $13. Did it get raised to $15?

With the 18% auto gratuity it would put the total slightly over the $15 mark.  Also made the math easier.

They will still be having the fun of being on a cruise. It’s a win, win.

If hubby is also a diamond and you are in the same cabin, do you each get 4 free drinks a day?  My girls (ages 29 and 25) will also be diamond after next cruise, I assume if they had separate cabins, they would also get 4 free drinks per day?  Thanks.

Every Diamond member gets the 4 free drinks, regardless of how they are housed.

The promotion was open to everyone. 

 

You got 3 points for spending around $500 on the ship. It was one fall when Freedom was still in PC. Happened around same time the had self serve beer dispenser testing.

I learn something new every day.  Maybe I couldn't afford it back then, who knows?  I laughed out loud at the self-serve beer dispenser testing.  🤣

We did a 3 night in an inside cabin years ago to make Diamond.  We then did a 12 night cruise and we thought it was worth it even before the 4/5/6 drinks a day.  Everyone’s value is different.

Where you or they stay is irrelevant.  Benefits are only for those with that status level.  They don’t extent to cabin mates.
