(I couldn't find a thread about this already, apologies if there has been a discussion)
For as long as I can remember, DCL has had three levels of Castaway Club, with level membership being 2nd cruise, 6th cruise and 11th cruise (silver, gold and platinum respectively) with no expiration or level adjustment through non-cruising with DCL.
So, over time, more and more people have moved up the levels, with the inevitable small adjustments to membership perks like the gold/platinum party being moved to longer and longer cruises (now 8+ nights) and being lower and lower "value", such as not being a party of there are too many cruisers at that level but, instead, something in the theatre.
To my point, then ... does anyone think that DCL will have to do something to the levels in the future like either introducing new levels or adding an expiration to them? I feel that the current scheme cannot last forever because of the increasing pressure on DCL to reduce the perks as more and more people reach the higher levels.
What do you think?
