Tlbecker1 Posted May 27 #3 Share Posted May 27 You don’t actually receive the status that you earn until your next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JJK2008 Posted May 27 #4 Share Posted May 27 Unlike Carnival, NO you have to complete the cruise to get the status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exception is with Pinnacle which is recognized on the cruise on which it is earned. Edited May 27 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, "meaningful" is probably in the eye of the beholder ... it's possible that someone has been really looking forward to attending the Top Tier Event, for example, or being able to request bathrobes. And if you were to use all of the available coupons/discounts for Platinum, it could definitely add up. That being said, I definitely agree that Diamond is where the C&A program starts to really stand out from loyalty programs on other lines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has never been told she can't have one. I would think it would be in the best interest of the cabin steward to honor such a simple request.

We always ask the room steward to get rid of the bathrobes, they just take up space in the cabin 🙂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loman Posted May 28 #15 Share Posted May 28 I put on a robe once for about 2 minutes . Dont wear one at home and dont have any use for them on a cruise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCaver Posted May 28 #16 Share Posted May 28 The robes are useful for sitting on the balcony while not fully dressed. But since we don't bother with balconies anymore, no need for a robe. I once saw a lady and her embarrassed grandkid come down to the "Quest" wearing her bathrobe to complain about the noise. I sure wouldn't leave my cabin wearing a robe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
