The airlines originally set it up for miles flown. Then they started
to get greedy (addicted?) to the fees they could collect from the
other vendors and credit card companies and now you don't have to fly
anywhere to get free trips.

I agree. Unlike a flight, you really can't limit the number of
Diamond members, as long as what you're giving out is not the cruise,
but rather ancillary benefits.

I wonder if RCI is capable of going back in history and looking at the
number of days sailed, and the cabin category.
Inside - .75 days per day
Oceanview - 1 day per day
Balcony - 1.25 days per day
Jr. Suite - 1.5 days per day
Other suites - 1.75 days per day
Royal Suite - 2 days per day
Does that work? It keeps me from spending $175 for an inside three
day and getting a "cruise credit" while Diana pays $3500 for a Jr.
Suite 14 day trans Canal for the same "credit".
