resordanis Posted August 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hi all, Just looking at the Diamond + benefits since we last cruised in February 2020, am I correct that we now don’t get the 2 free days Internet or the 2 wash and fold laundry bags? Can someone please clarify for me as these two were important escort a long cruise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing meaningful has changed since your last sailing - the list of benefits on the RCI web site misses some things like the VOOM benefit.

Will she be able to enter diamond lounge with him? Technically no. I cruised with a diamond friend and I was not allowed in. It's up to the diamond ambassador and how crowded it is. Just free coffee and pastries and snacks at 5 pm. He can easily go in and bring the stuff out to her if they say no. Her card wouldnt work to get in but they might make exceptions with a tip.

Once married you share the highest tier level of your spouse. Your C&A points do not increase/match your spouses C&A points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No effect for friends with benefits. And honestly like liberty there is a huge lounge right outside the diamond lounge where they can sit. I've seen families sit out there with their kids and dad goes and picks up the snacks and the bar tender takes orders both places. Does it make such a difference for her to sit inside. Only he gets 4 drink vouchers per day her can share or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted August 1, 2022 #18 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Link them now. Then the answer is "yes". Being married is not a requirement. There are many "non-married" couples out there who are linked in C&A. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLHugh Posted August 1, 2022 #19 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just off Explorer yesterday and there were Toddlers and Teens in the DL every evening. I admit the DL was never close to full and the DL Host never took her eyes off of her Laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not actually have to be legally married. They just need to be at the same address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted August 1, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Technically a fiance is not a spouse in any legal sense of a spousal concept. The purpose of the relationship recognition is not so it can be abused by people who are not spouses. While you are at it why not promote claiming that folks are fake military? Why not promote claiming fake police or fire? When a program is abused it will lead to honest people that should get a benefit losing out when they close the program because of fakers. A fiance is not a spouse or the intended purpose of the CAS relationship. Fluffy is not a service animal even if you put a fake service vest on Fluffy. You end up hurting the people that truly need the benefit when you promote fakers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(first timer) They went to Guest Services, explained that they were engaged to be married, and on the spot, they were both Diamond. They celebrated their 10th anniversary 4 weeks ago. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer was come back when you are married. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to be legally married. You just have to live together unless they have recently changed things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
