MTNeedsAVacay Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 We recently became Diamond Plus (wooooo!) and have our first D+ sailing coming up next month. It's my husband, me, and 2 young children. Wanted to see if anyone had experience with being D+ in 2 different cabins. In our case, I am booked in one cabin with one of the kids, and my husband and other kid are booking in the adjoining cabin. 2 separate reservations, but still linked. Would each cabin receive it's own D+ welcome amenity? I just got off the phone with C&A rep to set up my welcome amenity and she said it's 1 per household, even if more than 1 cabin. But based on the current list of options she sent me to choose from, only the beach towel is specified as "1 per household," which isn't what I chose anyways. So, should my husband still call and set up an amenity in his name as well? Do kids get to choose anything at D+? Attaching the list below as what I was sent today by C&A in case anyone was curious: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie M Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Congratulations! I can't wait to make D+! I would think it would be 1 amenity per member of that status but if they're cutting down on costs in so many other areas, it may be only 1 per household - though I disagree with this logic given that you've had to both make that status. I can't view the link you sent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 It is one per household regardless of separation of staterooms. That's for the gift and crystal blocks, of course all other amenities are per person. MTNeedsAVacay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far ahead did you have to chose? Sorry the first picture didn’t work. Reposted again above. We are just over a month out from our sailing and chose today. I think I saw somewhere you should make any selections at least 10 days in advance, but I don’t have anything I can cite to know how accurate that is.

I hope you guys have a blast! Thank you! We aren’t huge drinkers so our free daily D+ drinks are more than enough for us. We ended up choosing the chocolate strawberries because my kids love them and they’ll be excited for a special treat in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, is there a list like this for all eligible points categories? (not just 175+) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Lion Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Thank-you for the info. And how did you make the choice? Through your TA? The app? Website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call C&A toll-free (they ae usually faster to answer than the general RC line) and put in your order. NOTE: it's then set unless you change it... and they do swap out the red wines fairly frequently with whatever they have available.

I'd have to login to my wife's account to confirm but she's D+ with < 175 points (marriage perk lol) and I was still able to set individual gifts for both of us even though it reads "per household" and "members with 175+ cruise points". https://dlxffu6hwewxp.cloudfront.net/cas/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/18063159_CAS_MemberBonus_Amenity_List_v3.pdf Edited January 13, 2023 by sk8erguy1978 some grammar, still a tongue twist.

I do not know which household member choice would supersede the other. if you receive something you aren’t interested in or forgot to set your gift choice see the C&A rep onboard and address it. it is one per household, regardless of how many cabins you book and your better half being assigned to a different cabin.

So, if your name is lead on the cabin, it will be your gift and if your wife is lead it will be hers. You won't be getting two gifts, unless you are at the points threshold for that on a 7night cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 You are still a household even if you have different cabins. From the revised CAS benefits updated 12/16/22: 2 Emerald, Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club members will receive welcome waters & a snack ("Welcome Amenity") on day one of their sailing. These items will be placed in the guest's stateroom. In addition, Emerald, Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club members can call one of our Loyalty Representatives (RoyalCaribbean.com/ContactLoyalty) in their local offices to pre-select from a list of beverages to be included with their welcome waters & snack. One beverage can be selected per guest 18 years of age or older. Preferences must be entered or updated for your upcoming cruise vacation up to 5 days before a US based sailing and 7 days for an internationally based sailing. The beverage selection list for Emerald and Diamond members will include water, juice and soda items. In addition to the previous list Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club members can select from a more expanded list of beverages. If a guest has not selected an item then bottled water will be sent to the stateroom. House alcoholic brands may be substituted or changed, and are subject to availability. 3 A commemorative Crystal Block award will be delivered to you during the sailing on which you attain your 140, 210, 280 and 350 cruise points and on every 70 cruise points thereafter. One (1) block is awarded per relationship. Any Crystal Block not accepted onboard by the member will be considered forfeited and will not be shipped to the member post-sailing. 7 No bonus gift will be delivered on sailings less than 3-Nights. Only one bonus gift will be delivered on sailings between 3- and 6- Nights. All selections must be made at least 10 days prior to sail date. If no selections are made before the time prescribed above, then no order will be placed. Orders and/or substitutions cannot be placed on or after boarding day. Diamond Plus members and their travel agents can contact a Loyalty Specialist to select an amenity by calling (800) 526-9723 and pressing 9 at any time during the greeting message. All orders are per household and will be selected according to the primary member selection in the relationship. Hours of operation: Monday through Friday 8am – 11pm EST; Saturday and Sunday, 9am – 8 pm EST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
