Don't want to get into the argument of how
DCL should reward loyalty. I do appreciate they have one of the better systems
for us, acknowledged we are not everyone. On our first cruise they provided us a 10% discount on our next cruise plus gave us a $ 200 on board credit. This occurs on each and every cruise we take regardless of our status. On our journey through silver, gold and now platinum, we always have appreciated the little extra items, the crispy flip flops, back packs, duffle, beach bags, beach towels, trinket trays, sling packs, prints, truffles, wine, Palo meal, shop discounts, unique itinerary pins, or stateroom upgrades. Others may do better with other programs however
for us, we don't feel this same appreciation when we sail Carnival, Norwegian, Royal, Princess, or Louis. Given I travel so much for work, we also have multiple hotel and airline loyalty memberships, one gives us $ 40 after 5 stays, others free nights after earning credit for the amount of money spent, others are a combination of number of miles flown and money spent for discount or free flights, all have a different value to me.
All I am suggesting is that
for us DCL happens to be one of the better loyalty programs when I look at it in totality. Not saying that I would not appreciate any additional perks, just don't know what I could suggest other than something that would further benefit my style of travel.
