Were your 1 pointers showing that way before the new site? Yes, my 1-pointers were always 1-pointers....even after they were converted. The truth is, while the number of cruises they have for me and the overall points value is correct, I’m not sure that all of my past cruises are even listed. I guess all I really care about is the points total so I haven’t really checked that closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the "grand conversion" happened January 21, 2011. Prior to that, it looks like the system was: 1 point per sailing +1 additional point for Junior Suite or higher +1 additional point for 12+ night sailings When they converted old points to new points they used some funny math. It looks like they based it on where you were relative to your C&A level so that if you were one cruise away from the next level, you'd be in the same relative position under the new system. I found this conversion table: Quote Old Points => New Points => C&A Level 1 => 8 => GOLD . . . 5 => 38 => PLATINUM . . . 8 => 69 => EMERALD . . . 10 => 83 => DIAMOND . . . 24 => 181 => DIAMOND PLUS . . . 99 => 706 => PINNACLE Edited March 23, 2018 by Orange Crush Abbreviated the super long table Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this conversion table: That makes sense after seeing that conversion table. When they converted it in 2011, I was sitting at 5 cruise points that turned into 38 at conversion. Like @WAAAYTOOO, I had no idea what kind of formula was being used but I was at a stage in life where cruising was on the back burner anyway. Going forward, all my points have added up correctly. Thanks for looking into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Wow , calling it "some bumps" is really good example of using euphemism. Some bumps is to drove on a new road which still has some small holes in it which you feel from time to time , what they have done here is to divert everyone to a new road that someone forgot to build a bridge over a 1000 feet abyss which exist on the first mile.

For what it's worth, something that I did today fixed everything for me because my C&A society profile cruise history are all now there and its working great. It was one of two things: I did email them with my C&A society number along with my old and new account information. They did not respond to me but perhaps they fixed it? I tried to edit my profile and add my C&A society number from in there. It did not work at first, but then I (and I know how weird this sounds) added my middle name, saved it, and then deleted my middle name. At that point it sync'd great and took my C&A society number with no problem. A few minutes later when I checked the whole cruise history was there and it recognized who I was. Just in case this helps at all! PrincipalTinker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digmenow Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 On 3/22/2018 at 1:04 PM, WAAAYTOOO said: Back in 2000 they were awarding points on a per-cruise basis, not on a per-night basis like they are now. There was a GRAND CONVERSION done on all of the old cruises when they switched over to the per-night points so you would have been given some kind of conversion rate for that old cruise. I never understood it...I just accepted it. I have a number of cruises that just show 1 point. These are all of the old cruises under the old points system. Perhaps someone, smarter than me, could quote you the algorithm that they used to convert those old cruises to the new system but I truly do not know how they did it. Funny that I just caught up with this thread and saw this as I was on the phone today with supervisor Megan (after upgrading from talking with CSA Tim) from RCI to ask exactly that. I was told that when the conversion took place, ALL previously completed cruises were changed from 1 point per cruise to 7 points. They had determined that the average cruise length was 7 nights. You were then assigned 'bonus points' based on the number of cruises you had completed. Our two cruises netted us ONE additional bonus point. The problem with the 7 points per cruise calculation is that people who had moved quickly and cheaply through the tiers by taking short (2-5 night) cruises were given extra points that they would not have earned under the new system and the folks who liked long cruises (14 nights, anyone?) got those same 7 points instead of the 14 or so points they should have received! When I mentioned this to Megan, she told me that RC didn't want to have to demote people from the classes that they had reached (by gaming the system IMO) under the old accounting method. For an apples to apples comparison, someone who took 3 Four night cruises got their old '3 point' total upped to 21 points under the new system while someone who took a 14 night cruise got their '1 point' total upped to only 7 points under the new system. Does that seem fair? It makes sense to Royal Caribbean. I politely pushed Megan to the point that she became rather icy in her refusal to award points in a more equitable manner. I'll wait a few weeks and try again. I want my missing point! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not get me wrong , even now almost four weeks from the roll out still many things are not working and some things are working only some times.

Atlantix2000 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Honestly, I think the website looks like a phone app. I've noticed that on several recent website designs. Rather than maintaining a separate version of the site for mobile users, just go with the minimal effect for all. This made sense a few years ago, but modern phones might as well be laptops, so I've got mine set to always show the full desktop version.
