Not just because they share your cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Royal should rethink it and only link travelling companions on a cruise only basis the way Celebrity used to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted January 5 #6 Share Posted January 5 They don’t even share when linked. I was in the same cabin with my daughter and granddaughter, and we were linked. But you can share your vouchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted January 5 #7 Share Posted January 5 You could try to phone c&a to status match them to you. If I recall you are supposed to be living in the same residence to qualify. I don’t know how strict they are about that. This is the only way to get them your Diamond benefits. Staying in the same cabin won’t do it to my knowledge.

cruiseguy1016 Posted January 5 #8 Share Posted January 5 They won't receive the same diamond status just because they are in the same cabin with you. If they live in the same house as you, you can call C&A have them linked to your account. If they are under 18 years of age, they will receive your diamond status. If they are over 18, they will not.

If you are your granddaughters legal guardian, she is under 18 and lives with you then yes for your granddaughter. You daughter would have to be under 18 to have your status.

Rare Denversail Posted January 5 #13 Share Posted January 5 My sister status matched me but that was 20 years ago and we were living in the same household. I was an adult at the time. She status matched our whole household of 7 at the time and only 3 of those were kids. None were a spouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Royal should rethink it and only link travelling companions on a cruise only basis the way Celebrity used to do it. The problem with giving the status is when people have more than one cabin booked for multiple family members and only one person is say D or higher. You will then start getting the "but, we're all traveling together so all our cabins should have the same status". Who gets to stay with Grandma and get her status lol. It's just a fact that Royal does not give status matching by highest in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because you all showed the same address, and 20 yrs ago, IT was clueless, which hasn’t changed to this day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told the "significant other" aspect was created to allow same sex couples who (back then) could not get married have the same opportunity for status match as married couples. Of course it has been abused to allow status match for any casual boyfriend/girlfriend one brings on a cruise. The other issue is that a kid goes on one cruise with parents, parents reach diamond before kid is 18 and kid is Diamond for life. Then of course, spouse/significant other/ kids and so on.
