I was just wondering how long it's taken others to receive it. I've been waiting 6 months and still nothing. I had to email them to get my number for the forthcoming cruises.

It takes awhile, why I don't know? As long as you have your number thats all you need, make sure you call the 800 Res. number to give them the number so that your card will have your level on it when you check-in.

It ought to also be noted that you could be careful not to try to register more than once. I actually had to consolidate three C&A accounts from having filled out the card each of my first three cruises.

If you check your account and find that it lacks credit for a cruise or two, make sure you retain your cabin number and sailing dates. Independent of anything else, they'll be able to verify how many times you sailed.

Finally, when in doubt, call them and let them know. At least you'll know, and one never knows, there might have been a glitch.

Thanks for that. I asked the rep to add mine when I transferred the Independence booking. It's silly these things take so long when they say it's a few weeks. Celebrity, P&O and NCL were here fast. Cunard was 14 months so I suppose I shouldn't worry too much just yet unless RCI beat that record. LOL!

It didn't take me long at all. My son even has a card now, and he is diamond member as well. What I thought was nice - a while while ago I received this cheap paper looking card - but now they are issuing credit card thickness/feel to the C&A members. To get one of those, I just emailed them and they sent one out - I haven't had any problems with actually getting a number. I did have a great experience though - I am a member of www.postcrssing.com and I ran into a girl that worked for C&A - she is no longer there (it's ashame) but she took real good care of me - it was so easy getting our son his number. She answered every little question I had about upgrades, their system upgrades and problems they have been having etc. It's always good to get the inside scoop.

Any update Patsy? I was curious if things had gotten to you yet.
