If you sailed the Magic before, even 20 years ago, you should be listed as Silver. We had 25 years between our first and second DCL cruises (both on the Magic), and DCL was able to find our records so that we received the Silver gifts on embarkation day.

Yes this. My first DCL cruise was in 1999 and we didn't sail again until 2023. I was silver!

They told me they couldn't find it! I sailed last week, but thank you for this heads up!
