The latest
DCL show (4/8/2020) talked about potential changes to the
Castaway Club that
Disney Cruise Line may think of doing, particularly adding a level above platinum. If you were in charge, what would you do the program in terms of:
a) changing how you get to different levels
b) what perks would you want to see at different levels
--------------------------------------------
Here is some top of mind thoughts, without completely thinking it through... add your own ideas!
a) grandfather past members to a level based on previous program, but going forward use the following (or offer past members the opportunity to switch levels if it makes sense)
Silver - After 10 nights of sailings completed (so one 10-night sailing, two 5-night sailings, one 4-night and two 3-night, etc..)
Gold - After 25 nights of sailings completed
Platinum - After 50 nights of sailings completed
Titanium - After 100 nights of sailings completed
Diamond - After 200 nights of sailings completed
b) potential perks
