I will admit I have already looked to see if there are some really inexpensive 3-nighters that fit my schedule over the next year or so.We are just about to hit platinum - will make it next spring. I take the Pearl category as a challenge. It will have taken us about 5 years to make platinum - with DCL closed for over a year of those 5 years.
This new tier will make me change the way I book cruises. I will book VGT rates to make cruises cheaper and do some shorter B2B cruises. No longer will I pay full price for a certain cabin. Have to make our cruise $$$’s stretch if I am to make Pearl.
Gamification works. It's amazing how many thousands we will spend for perks worth pennies!
