Someone Told Me...

[rucruizin]

That if you are platinum with any cruiseline ie: Carnival, Princess, HAL... That you receive those same benefits within the ??? what would you call it? Corporate sister lines.

 

Now, I honestly didn't believe that they had it completely right. Now that I have booked my next Princess cruise, but have platinum status on Carnival...I'm hoping it is true.

 

If it isn't...I won't be all devestated.

 

Thanks for the info:D

Absolutely positively incorrect information. Each cruise line runs independently. There is no reciprocity.

P.S. Now if you're a CCL stockholder, that's where they all come together to get you OBC

Someone misled you.

I hate that you had bad information. I am platinum on Princess and recently did my first Carnival cruise and they started me over again:mad:

 

In any case, you will love your Princess cruise, so don't let that stand in your way....You'll see:D

[LARGIN]

bad info... No extra perks on Princess for being a Carnival cruiser

[Toto2Kansas]

I am soooo glad you won't be devastated to find out it isn't ture. ;) ;)

[rucruizin]

Yeah the minute I heard that, I figured it couldn't be true.

 

Wouldn't it be great if it was though, huh?

 

It was someone who wasn't a frequent cruiser, and passed the info through the DH. I took the info with a grain of salt.

 

Thanks for the clarification

Not true on CCL, but I just booked a RCL cruise and do get credit for my Celebrity cruises on there. Go figure? Actually, the perks on Princess are much better.

Wrong info. :)

Really, I wonder if this is new. I just sailed on Celebrity this past winter and didn't seem to be recognized for my previous RCL cruise.

[Sandytoes]

Now that I have booked my next Princess cruise,

Welcome to Princess.

You'll have a great cruise.

perhaps they were referring to the VIP program where Carnival brands offer discounts to past passengers accross companies. It is referred to on the back of the brochures or go to http://www.worldsleadingcruiselines.com

I so wish it was true, because then i would be elite instead of platinum -- oh well we can always dream

No, it is not new. Been doing it for a couple years now. On my last RCI cruise they i had access to the Concierge Club. Turns out i am Diamond status with them after only 8 cruises with them, but my 2 with Celebrity counted towards it. Go figure :p

Princess and Ocean Village cruises count towards P&O Portunus Club status. (but are scored at 1/2 the value of P&O cruises)

 

P&O and Ocean Village cruises count towards Princess Captains Circle status (and are scored at full value)

 

If you aren't in the UK you probably never heard of Ocean Village.....

As a HAL Mariner, I tried this a few times. You have to call the cruise line and speak to one of their agents. This is just for a "discount" on limited sailings. No other past guest perks. Didn't help me at all.

I've heard that you lose your (Platinum/Elite) status if you cruise with another Cruise Line and they find out.;) (just kidding)

I know you're kidding, but the fact is, that once you become Elite it's difficult to want to cruise another line. The laundry perk, especially on long cruises, is worth a lot of $$$.

Benefits on RCl/ X are very different from Princess/ Carnival/ HAL/ etc.

RCL recognized X CC club, even the perks are different within the same lavel

Platinum/ platinum, Elit/ Diamond. Carnival keeps all brands are separate. If you sailed with Carnival 15 times and want to try Princess, your status is not recognized by Princess.

Perhaps you had a couple of cruises in a JS or higher category, in which case you would have gotten 2 cruise credits. Or you sailed in a full suite, which gives you C-lounge access, too. RCI lines offer reciprocal benefits once you get to the second tier (Platinum for RCI, Elite for Celebrity/Azamara), but they do not combine cruises or cruise credits to get you there.:)
