Anyone return from a Solo cruise as part of the current Solo promotion from June 2022?

Wondering how many captains club points you effectively received, if that was just 1x or 2x? Thanks

Future cruise staff say it should be 2X.  Same answer from on board Captain’s Club concierge.  Hope they are right.

Thanks, my cruise is on Infinity in Sept 2022 so I can report back then. But I see they are running a great double points promotion (3x for solo) on some Mex Riviera cruises that you have to book before Aug 21, so I'm kind of stuck in strategy to optimize points to elite status.

With the sharing of Royal Caribbean and Celebrity status, one way to optimize points would be to add RC sailings, since it's probably a cheaper option. Having chased status on Princess, though, I can say I spent more than I'll ever get in return, especially since a lot of the benefits are tied to discounts or things I'd never use, like photos or spa treatments.

Agree with that approach rj59... I think RC is the way to go to earn status cheaper, but I missed the double points promotions (if anyone knows of any, I'm all ears). I have more money than time at this point, and what I appreciate about CC is that you can probably book a big suite for a 1 week cruise and get to elite status right away. RC suites don't seem to offer the same earning potential as maximum you would get would be about 21 points for a week as a solo (3 x 7), and the costs seem similar.

I’m bummed that I booked two Mexican Riviera as B2B on Solstice just before the double (triple for solo) points was announced.
