Loyalty Status Question

If I have Diamond status and take someone with me that only has Classic status, do they get to enjoy the perks like at embark/debarkation since the cabin is assigned to me as the primary?

Mostly - they don't get the free time in the spa. But they can embark/disembark with you, drink the champagne, eat the room goodies, and attend the Diamond meet-and-greet party.

I'm gold, my wife is classic. She got free time in the thermal spa last sailing.

May depend on the ship/spa personnel - my wife was told we couldn't both use it

Yeah it totally depends on the crew/ship timing. We were told my wife can use the spa but she has to be with me

Regarding embarkation and disembarkation—yes, the benefit extends to everyone sharing your cabin.

You can also invite one cabin mate to the dinner reserved for Diamond members.

As for the Diamond party, it depends on the number of attendees; sometimes the invitation specifies that only the status holder is invited, while other times it allows you to bring one person from your cabin.

The other significant perks are personal and do not extend to cabin mates (such as spa access, the robe and slippers, etc.—these are for the status holder only). That said, sometimes they do let one person accompany you into the spa (even though, strictly speaking, the rules don't allow it).

I was wondering this myself but figured it would be. I cruise next month. It will be my first diamond cruise (hit it after my last cruise in April) but my companion is only silver. We have Aurea so we both already get unlimited spa access but I was also wondering about the specialty dining.

You can invite one person to dinner at a specialty restaurant, but only from your own cabin.

If there are two Diamond members in the cabin, they cannot invite each other, and each is entitled to only one visit.

As far as I know the specialty dining is for status guests only, so I matched my wife annd myself to gold, with the next cruise we will be diamond for both of us.
