I believe it's 3 points per night for these.

How I'm reading it is if you have a special rate that's not just their regular rates you don't get the double points. So if you're in a group but not paying group rates you will still get the points. Sometimes we can add people to groups even at FIT prices because there are bonuses (OBC for example) so I believe those count.
And it's not double points for everything- it's double for most rooms, but suites are 3 points per night not 4.

Never mind...I just read update #12635 by @Big Dawg Ron ?

Exactly.  Let the dust settle, more will be known in a day.  Comments on social media are interesting but not the final word.    

Just sit tight everyone- we're still trying to figure it all out!

Yeah I'm trying to figure all of this out now. If it's a cancel/rebook probably not worth it!

I'm on with Crown and Anchor now- and so far yes it's for existing bookings but no C&A discounts apply. So I'm sure the price would go up for most people. And it sounds like it will be applied automatically.
She said that if there is a C&A discount then we'll need to call C&A and have that removed in order to get the double points, which means the price could go up. 
Again, she said the full T&C have not yet been released so that might change.

I'm trying to figure out the definitive answer on this now- because if it's at the prevailing rates it might not work out for everyone.

I tried to get those stupid heart-eyes-creepers off my last post but they won’t delete.  Makes them even creepier.

Sorry @Sharla I saw the announcement and sent you an email straight away. I will watch for your post. No need to get back. Fantastic for us but TA partners still should be afforded a comped sailing for all their hard work. Funny Im typing this and Sharla just responded to my email. Truly amazing, She is wonderful!!

I’m so glad that I went with MEI back last October. I had always booked direct but we’re doing a bucket list cruise next year to the Med and I needed an experienced TA for all that it entails. 
 
I use Sharla and she’s been great. We had a symphony cancelled in May and took the FCC and OBC. Rebooked for October which is now cancelled. She got our OBC reissued and FCC applied to next May symphony. 
 
Highly recommend! 

There ya go! Taking one for the team! ?

Michelle Cunningham is in VA if it matters.  She is really good....but I have not heard anything but positives about all of the MEI agents.  They REALLY earn their commission (which is paid by the cruise lines...not us).

I highly recommend @Sharla. She is always responsive and personable. She answers inquiry and requests in record time. I totally jive with her. My many specific requests and criteria don't seem to phase her one bit. Her knowledge has saved me money. She price checks and sends emails with savings when successful.

Agreed that location doesn't mater.  I've had two agents at MEI one in FL and one in VA while I'm in MA and they were both responsive and very helpful.  I highly recommend Michelle over there she's great!
