Crown and Anchor

Crown and Anchor Society

The Crown & Anchor Society is the past passenger loyalty program, or cruise club, of Royal Caribbean. By booking a Royal Caribbean cruise with us, we are able to honor all Crown and Anchor benefits that Royal Caribbean offers you, plus we can give you added amenities that they won't. For example, we may be able to give you onboard credits, pre-paid gratuities, wine, and/or other amenities (based on the exact trip you book). If you'd like to take advantage of Crown & Anchor benefits you must book with us over the phone and (prior to pricing anything out) mention to the reservations agent that you are a Crown and Anchor member. This will ensure that you will get the best deals possible!

Members earn one Cruise Point for every cruise night sailed with Royal Caribbean and DOUBLE the points when they purchase a suite.

Royal Caribbean in a joint partnership with Celebrity Cruises offers Crown & Anchor Society members access to the perks of Celebrity Cruises' Captain's Club. Guests who sail on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity Cruises will earn points towards their memberships in both past passenger clubs regardless of what brand they sail on. Due to the sale of Azamara to Sycamore Partners, since February 1, 2023, Azamara Circle members will no longer earn cumulative points or have reciprocity with Royal Caribbean International.

The equivalent membership levels between Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises are as follows:
• Platinum and Emerald - Select (Captain's Club)
• Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle - Elite (Captain's Club)

Crown & Anchor Society Members traveling alone can take advantage of a way to rack up points even faster. Members sailing in a double occupancy room and paying Single Fare pricing will now receive One Extra cruise point per cruise day. That means that singles will receive Two Cruise Points per cruise day when traveling in an Interior, Oceanview, or Balcony and Three Cruise Points per cruise day when traveling in a Junior Suite or Above!

Crown & Anchor Society members of all tiers can take advantage of exclusive Complimentary Upgrades! The week prior to sailing, members will be considered for a complimentary stateroom upgrade. In order to be eligible, members must be sure to select their upgrade preferences at Royal Caribbean's web site. Upgrades will only be processed for members with registered preferences. Upgrades will be offered only with then week prior to sailing in the following ways: Interior to Oceanview, Oceanview to Balcony, Balcony to Junior Suite, Junior Suite to Grand Suite, or Grand Suite to Owner's/Family Suite.

There are six Crown and Anchor tiers: Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club. See below for specific details about each level:
