It's either days cruised or cruise credits, not both.

 

So, you earn one cruise credit per completed cruise, regardless of the length of the cruise. If you sailed solo, you earn two credits for that cruise. Or, if you sailed in a suite, you earn two credits. If you sailed solo in a suite, you earn three.

 

However, at the same time, you're earning days, but they are not doubled for type of accommodation booked.

 

Example: I sailed an 18-day cruise in December, solo. I earned 18 days toward my total number of days at sea. I also earned two cruise credits, one for the cruise and one extra for sailing solo. If I had sailed on a 7-day cruise, I would still have earned two cruise credits (one for the cruise, one for being solo), but would have accrued only 7 days at sea.

 

Thus, you can reach the next level of the Captain's Circle by qualifying via credits or days at sea, whichever comes first. If you take one 50-day cruise, you only have one cruise credit (or max out at three, if you sail solo and in a suite!) but you'd have 50 days at sea, so you've just earned yourself Platinum status.

 

I hope this helps; it can be confusing and especially when people don't explain clearly or define their terms.

Now I’ve got it; thanks for your help!

It is based on number of days cruised or cruise points, whichever gets you there faster.

 

1 cruise point for being on any length Princess cruise

1 additional point if in a suite

1 additional point if traveling solo in a cabin and having to pay the extra cost of doing do

 

(the link information only says cruises, but the reality is cruise points)

I am not certain how Princess calculates cruise days. Do you multiply the number of points you receive by the number of days of the cruise. Example, if you were on a 7-day cruise paying single occupancy and receive 2 points would you have 14 cruise days (2X7=14)? And how about using the same example above, but you are in a suite. Would you get 21 cruise days (3X7=21)? I am just curious how it works. Thanks!
