Royal Caribbean launched its loyalty program Crown and Anchor Society in June 2010. Anyone can join for free and earn 1 cruise point for each night stay and 2 points for a suite booking. More points will gain higher status and exclusive benefits like Coastal Kitchen Dining, Priority Seating Access for events.

Every new guest will be automatically enrolled in the Crown and Anchor Society program after the first sailing with Royal Caribbean. You can manually sign up on the Royal Caribbean website and receive a membership number that can be used for future cruise booking.

You can also visit the Loyalty Ambassador Onboard and fill an enrollment form at the Guest Relations Desk during sailing and drop off the form in the kiosk.

Each family member can join the program and have a unique membership number that can be linked together.

How Does Crown and Anchor Work? 

After the enrollment, the given membership number for each member can be used for the next cruise trip. You will start earning points after the first night board and 1 point will be added for each night in an ocean view, balcony, or interior stay. A suite booking will reward 2 cruise points.
