Actually, I hear a lot of grumbling from repeat
DCL cruisers that the perks are less and less. That platinum status, etc, doesn't get you as much as it used to.
And really, with 9 new Japan trips, 7 already waitlisted after 3 days - only one available for kids, and the available adults only at $11K, they don't really need to cater to repeat customers, do they?
ETA - I was curious...The new Seine river cruise is also sold out in almost all the top two room categories. Only 2 of the 4 sailings have one of the two available top suite categories available, at $9.6-9.8K/person. Those are the only categories sold out, besides the very few singles and the very cheapest, which seems to be waitlisted from as soon as it's posted in every cruise on all rivers. ABD seems to be doing just fine amongst those who may spend the most money.
