I am OK with this AS LONG AS they don't devalue Platinum. If they take perks away from Platinum to give to Pearl, that will just feel like a punch in the gut.
They need to bring back Platinum Boarding Group1. If they give Pearl Boarding before that, I'm ok with that...Board Concierge, then Pearl, then Platinum. But if Pearl gets the perk we used to and we still have to get a specific PAT, that will not be cool.
They can totally reward Pearl members with new over the top perks...special
Castaway Club merchandise, discounts to things like Dining, Wifi, Drinks, etc. Reserve new itineraries 5 days before General Public (Platinum gets 3) and book cruise activities 140 days (Platinum get 120 days).
