Buzzard05 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 My family and I are going on our first RCI cruise in November. I enrolled us all in the Crown and Anchor Society and put our member numbers on each of our reservations.My question is.. I keep reading about C&A discounts on your account when you board. Will we have any of those discounts since this is our first cruise, or are those perks that you get as you cruise more with RCI?I am assuming it is the latter, but wanted to check to see if there might be any discounts that I should hold out for before pre-booking certain packages (drinks, VOOM, etc.)Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 No C&A perks (including discounts) until after you have completed your first cruise...so not this time, but next time ! What ship are you sailing ? You will have a GREAT time. Everyone has to have a "first"...but then there's the next one and the next one.... coneyraven and dejagatkins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzard05 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Love Navigator! Love that response! Is there anything I want to make sure I do, or don't do while on board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I am on Navigator in 93 days ! Cannot wait !!! Christmas and New Year's. WOOHOO ! Your cruise will be carefree ! There are no reservations for shows so just show up 15 - 20 minutes or so before the shows start and you will be fine. We love the main dining room and we like to eat early so we always do MTD at 5:30. That leaves the entire evening open for whatever we want to do. Some don't like eating that early but not only do you get eating "out of the way" but because you are the first to sit down, everything is ready and waiting for you. The staff hasn't had time to get backed up or delayed for whatever reason. NEVER any waiting. Obviously, we have to make modifications around port days but we rarely stay off the ship very long anyway. You'll love Navigator. She's a great ship ! ericreev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love eating late, but the older I get, the more the early dining times make sense! #aSleepAtTen! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Just to clarify, the discounts are essentially virtual coupons for things like a free specialty coffee with the purchase of specialty dining out a bye one, get one soda or glass of wine.

Sailor_to_Cruiser Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Attached is the letter that was in my stateroom showing the benefits of a Gold member. You unfortunately will not see these on your cruise, but it will give an idea of what you can look forward to with your next cruise.

Buzzard05 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thank you for posting that document. My wife is a "coupon queen", so I will have to let her know that we HAVE to go on another cruise just so we can get our coupons :) Also good info on the show times. I had been looking at my cruise planner wondering when those reservations would show up...and now I know why they haven't. Thanks for the great responses. If you have anymore info on Navigator....please keep sharing. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the podcast archive sands type Navigator in the search box for the blog as you'll find a lot of information. General consensus is not too miss Sabor.

ericreev Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Navigator is one of my favorite ships as well. Sailed her twice when she was in Galveston. I like all the voyager class ships. Just love the layout. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCityCruisers Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Navigator has the original Sabor for the entire fleet. Don't miss it. It's historic!--J Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
