I suspect your son's buddy will not benefit from this promo.  Even if you manage to get him a C&A number now that typically results in a "pre-Gold" status until their first sailing.  
However as a suite guest he will get 2x points so there is that!

Applies to all existing C&A members, gold and above.
Loyalty 2X Points is available to Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Crown & Anchor Society members.
Let the happy dance commence!

I've never been one to chase any type of status, but now I feel like booking a short cruise just to cross into Diamond territory.

She is a teacher, that constrains their flexibility.  He isn't, he can sail any time.
Gotta take one of the team!  ? 
 

Maybe now you'll finally let Hubster sail solo in 2021 so your family can climb the ladder even faster! 
Solo in suite gets 6x.  Put him out to sea!

YIPPEE !!!  4X points on suites !  That is SUCH great news.  Makes all of that work, booking all of these cruises, so worth it.  Oh wait....I didn't do ANY work.  That was all on @michelle.  So, Thank you, @michelle.  Your hard work is really gonna help us make Pinnacle.  Not by April, Joe....but some time this year, assuming the cruises start back up !!!

Hmm...that would only work if the sailing involves Star Wars or TML lol
Adopt me!!!!!  Raye, you were the first person I thought of when I read the quad points thing.  So happy for you!

I hadn't noticed...

Celebrity and Azamara have combined their loyalty programs.  Sail Azamara and those points will appear in your Celebrity account as if you sailed Celebrity and vice versa.  Log into Azamara now, if you have PUP from Celebrity you should see the same point total in your Azamara account.
If your X account says "Classic" you should be good for the points promo.  You are a classic member.  That's my interpretation.  
When I first sailed X my SetSail pass literally said "Preview".  If that 1st X cruise was in 2021 I'd get no promo points (absent of PUP).  If you printed an X SetSail pass today your's should read "Classic" not "Preview".

For the past few years the only place where deposits were reduced was on board at NextCruise.  Given the need for cash flow right now I'd be surprised to see reduced deposits.  If future bookings were way off I could see them looking at deposits as a means to induce more bookings but I suspect once they release more into 2022 bookings will increase. 
I'm surprised they aren't releasing 2022 early because I think there is pent up demand and hopes that 2022 will be much closer to normal.  By waiting they risk folks waking up to the fact that 2022 may not be back to normal just yet.
Holiday related promotions have tended to be focused on cruise planner items or "sales" like 60% off second guest.
Celebrity has sometimes featured reduced deposits.  Historically their client base hasn't "churned" bookings over and over like we see on RCI.  If reduced deposits are important keep an eye on X although as stated for cash flow purposes even X may not go there right now.

Suites get 4 points now?!!!!!  Instead of 3?
Best news ever if that is true!  Now we need sailings to start!
