In Seattle, it was one big free-for-all. Suites, D+, D, steerage. Everyone just rushed the boarding door. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted July 7, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2022 You can get a robe for onboard use and will get invited to the Top Tier event with a drink or two. Small discount for booking balcony or above. Slight Celebrity status upgrade if you request it. Much better at Diamond. Some discounts on onboard purchases. See post 9 on this thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted July 7, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) This is the letter you can expect to see when you board. It will be in your cabin and will detail on board benefits. If anything has changed it will be reflected on the letter Enjoy your cruise Edited July 7, 2022 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum was traveling w me and wasn’t platinum (I know she probably could have tagged along) if I remember from past cruises it was info about new ships, celebrating Pinnacle or Diamond members reaching milestones, and the count of how many C&A of each tier were on board. And a free drink . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for hubby who only has the refreshment. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No special lounge for us on the Enchantment though. that cruise bumped me up to Emerald now though so I’m really looking forward to the boarding snacks and water! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talked to people of levels. It's in the ice rink and a lot dont go. Maybe a glass of cheap champagne I pass up. I go to hear how many pts the top 3 have and how many on the ship they announce at this event. I like to hear the capacity. Couldn't see or hear who won, and they had the pictures down in a far corner i couldnt see. It's not a big deal, just interesting to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it’s because not to many people show up anymore and they are desperate to get repeat cruisers out of the newer members? Most of the ones I have gone to usually don’t have very many people. The one on the Wonder Inaugural had a lot of people. I’ll see what happens on the Allure this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted July 7, 2022 #24 Share Posted July 7, 2022 They were restricting the Top Tier Event during the masking part of COVID, I think it was literally only D+ and P (as in, the actual top tiers). But since the masks have come off (social distancing not as much of a thing), they've reopened it to the other levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was well attended in Nov. and Dec....even though was restricted to top tier with Pinnies and D+. Even assigned seating for Pinnacles. Now...it's pretty much open to everyone. No one was checking invitations, or sea pass cards. No assigned seating, watered down and limited free drinks. (Miss those Bloody Marys). I do feel sorry for the Gold members...seems strange to have the event open to all C&A members except Gold members. Really just a massive PR event now with the same lame canned speeches. May as well just call it "C&A" event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
