luvstodans Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 My understanding of C&A protocols was that Pinnacle status does not convey to children/grandchildren, rather only to spouse/significant other? Has this changed? I am seeing several people I know having pinnacle club status for children/grands when cruising and posting pics of their pinnacle cards on FB even though these children do not have 700 nights/points?

tonyfsu21 Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Interesting. I thought all levels were transferred to immediate family (kids, spouse exc). I can tell you that it certainly transfers all the way up to D+ because my kids have it listed on their cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Pretty sure I read recently that the transfer happens through D+ but Pinnacle has to be earned individually. (I recently matched my GF to D+ which is why its fresh in my mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 I personally think the rules should be the same regardless of tier level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaLivin Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 I don’t know why they transfer any status to children. I mean it’s seems ridiculous to me to have an 18-year-old be D+ when they haven’t actually had to earn that. Certainly Pinnacle would seem wildly unfair. Just my opinion. I realize it’s hard to have a fair and balanced opinion of this if you have children in your home that would benefit, people don’t often to go against what is in the best interest of their children regardless of the fairness to others, but still looking at it objectively it seems quite unfair. It would be like if I was able to pass the education I earned onto my children without them having to also earn that education. Maybe it’s a silly analogy but it’s early on a Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, they didn’t pay but they were still on the ship and still recognized as revenue generating customers by RC. Often times we end up spending equal or in some cases more money on the kids while onboard so it’s certainly significant.

Ampurp85 Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 So as long as the child(ren) are under 18 they share status, while traveling. Once they turn 18, they get the status of their points. There was another post about this where a person child didn't keep the Diamond status when they turned 18 because they didn't travel with the parents and earn all the points.

If your kids have personally accrued enough points on their own to get a status, they definitely keep that status. My son will be D+ on his on accord next March even though we'll get there before him. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octaviocloss Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 My dad turned D+ when i was 19; all my brothers and my sister got the D+ status and i was stuck at Diamond (Still stuck, at 165 points by now). My fiance is Diamond now; as royal matched our status. Im certainly sure Pinnacle has to be self reached and is not ''matched'' with any other family member.
