Why does it take Royal Caribbean weeks and weeks to post your cruise points, levels of loyalty, award level gifts? They seem to be able to take my reservations and monies immediately, but when it comes to recognition, they are absent at the wheel. By the time we get something we earned and paid for, we have already forgotten that we achieved it, and the value of the award or thing is gone. We have only recently received award levels and things, only because we asked for them. They were not automatically provided. Pins, awards, ect. were not given to us until we were almost at the Diamond + stage. Why is this? We should not be asking for things that we have achieved, they should be given, immediately, without question, without hesitation, unconditionally. This seems to be a back burner item for Royal Caribbean. It is a front burner thing for cruisers. When it is not provided, immediately, it's value is diminished. I hear things like, you don't get it until the next cruise, or it is up to the person on board in charge of these things, or we will send it to you and it will arrive in 6-8 weeks or more. Try using those excuses when booking or paying or anything dealing with Royal Caribbean. Or, the latest, we have to check to see if you were attempted to be given the award, while on ship and refused it. If no one on board states that you refused it, we will then send it to you, but it will take weeks before we get around to sending it to you. Please note: I have never refused an award, pin, or anything. This is absurd and quite frankly insulting. Note to Royal Caribbean: Get the pins and awards out, as soon as they are achieved and award the cruisers immediately without question, unconditionally. And an additional perk for Royal Caribbean, it's great PR, and, creates, encourages, and builds loyalty.
