1) I am silver and just booked a cruise for my mom and I. This will be her first cruise (EVER). Since I am silver, do we get to do check-in with the rest of the silver club?

2) After the above cruise, I will be going on one with my DH and DS's. That cruise would put me at gold, but now they would still be silver. How does that check-in work and would we get gold member gifts or still silver?

3) My mom and I are going on a 3-night, so will we have the opportunity to draw our characters at AP? Is there a pirate night?

PS, I am so excited to have a countdown again!!

1) Is she in your room? The check in date is tied to the highest CC level in the room.
2) (Which cruise is "that" cruise? The one with your sister, or the one with DH and DS?) Same - a room is whatever the highest CC level in the room is.
3) No drawings in AP on a 3 night. Yes, there's a Pirate night. No pirate menu, however.

1) Yes, we are in the same room. Yay!
2) The mother/daughter cruise will be cruise #4, so the next one with my family will put me at gold and them still at silver. How would that affect the gifts?
3) Boo on the AP drawings, but happy to show my mom the fireworks for pirate night!

2) On your 5th cruise, you're still silver, so you only receive the silver level gifts. On your next cruise (6th for you) you will receive the gold gifts (which is really just the silver gift and the gold gift which is luggage tags).

Oh okay. I thought I hit gold at #5. I'm glad you told me because I would have been disappointed!

You become Silver after the completion of your 1st cruise.
You become Gold after the completion of your 5th cruise.
You become Platinum after the completion of you 10th cruise.

I don't see pirate night on our itinerary breakdown.

On a 3 night cruise Pirate night is typically on night 2.

That's weird that it isn't showing. I remember seeing on my past cruises.

I have another question. My mom doesn't have a passport, but her birth certificate doesn't have the same last name as her state-issued driver's license. Does that matter?

Look for pirate make overs in the on board activities available for prebooking. That will tell you when pirate day happens. Its usually Nassau day.

Welcome to the club Everyone Gold or Platinum has been receiving the sling bag for years now.

So many sling bags...

 

[PrincessShmoo]

All Castaway Club members get a bag of some sort (depends on what bag is being handed out) from the time they are Silver. Currently the bag is a sling bag. In the past it's been a backpack (a couple of times) and several incarnations of a beach bag.

Once you are Gold, you get the Silver gift (bag) and something else. Currently the "something else" is luggage tags.

Once you are Platinum you get the Silver gift (bag), whatever the "something else" Gold gift, and a choice of gifts (truffles, fruit, sparkling wine) as Platinum.

Good idea, but we won't see those until online check in.

Thank you, but I don't see where this link speaks to the different last name question.

• Original or copy of their state-issued birth certificate AND Government-issued photo ID
  1. Puerto Rico birth certificates issued prior to 7/1/10 are not acceptable
  2. Hospital-issued birth certificates are not acceptable
• Original Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by the Department of State AND Government-issued photo ID
• Original Certificate of Naturalization issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services AND Government-issued photo ID

It is understood the names must match, just like your airline ticket and ID must match. She would need to prove the order of sequence for the name change like a marriage certificate, court-ordered name change, etc. Even if you went the passport route, you would still have to show the order of names changes.
