Hello all. After our sailing later this year we will finally reach Diamond status. My question, is there a huge difference in the discount on a balcony stateroom from Emerald to Diamond?

No. The balcony discount at diamond is $25 more than at it is Emerald.

I think it's $50 more of a discount for cruises 5 nights or less and $100 more of a discount for longer cruises.  The C&A discounts get wonky when combined with out discounts so it isn't always clear how it gets applied.

Thank you. I'll be happy with anything except for $0 lol

Just hit platinum and MEI TA said she was told I’d lose the discounts I have currently to add the suites/balcony discount. So they are not stackable?

Yes, there are some discounts that don't combine with the C&A discount.

We've recently made Diamond and have 4 additional cruises on the books.  I've never received a C&A discount, and I've always asked if there's any additional discount for my C&A level. 

  • For those of you who have received the discount, is it itemized on your Cruise Vacation Receipt? 
  • What were the circumstances of your reservation to get the discount?  They all seem to be 30% off or 2nd passenger 60% off (or have been for the last 4 years).  If that cancels out the C&A discount what good is it?? 🤷‍♂️

Oftentimes, the C&A discount is superseded by a different/better discount.  Only the "best" discount will apply, in most cases.  A while back I recall that C&A came out with a statement that the C&A discount would be honored, even if a better discount was available (IOW, the C&A discount could be "stacked" with other discounts) but I don't think that ever truly came to fruition.

Here is an example of how your invoice might look with a C&A discount (labeled here as a "balcony" discount...same thing)

Sometimes discounts ARE stackable with the C&A balcony discount.  It's very arbitrary which ones will and won't stack (and I have no idea how to figure out which are and which aren't !).  Here is an example where both a casino and military discount were stackable with the C&A balcony discount.  Note that the C&A balcony discount was somewhat reduced (from $125PP to $113 PP).  Frankly, I think a lot of it depends on who you get on the phone when you book !

It's interesting that this link (sent to me by my TA) has different rates than the ones screencapped by others on this thread. EDIT: it's because it's for Singapore! Am having severe issues finding the American one...

this jives more with the discounts i just got being Emerald.  It was for a Singapore cruise too.

Thanks!  Great examples.  I've looked at cruise receipts and indeed received a discount on two.  The others had larger special discounts. 👍
