Both are owned by the same holding company which is Royal Carribean Cruises LTD. and have not been merged. Royal Caribbean International which is the cruise line is owned by and not the same as Royal Carribean Cruises LTD. Celebrity Cruises is also owned byf Royal Carribean Cruise LTD and not owned by Royal Carribean International. They each operate as seperate companies that just happen to be owned by the same organization which does not constitute a merger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmf123 Posted March 29, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Gee, I was just sharing the good news of Celebrity's return to the West Coast. :rolleyes: I am aware that Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. was established as the parent company of both RCI and Celebrity, and of the decision to keep the two cruise lines separate following the merger. Yes, it was described as a merger when announced back in the late 90s. Thank you Puffinater, for not being harsh. Anyway, I'm glad to read about future Celebrity sailings from LA and San Diego. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted March 29, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2012 :confused::confused: Celebrity and RCI are owned by RCCL and are completely independent of each other including their Loyalty Programs. Hmmm.I thought as RCI C&A we did have some status when sailing on X...Your post seems to say NO :confused:..Not that I'm nit-piking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that their Loyalty Programs are independent of each other, which they are. You do not earn points for Celebrity if sailing on RCI and vice versa.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted March 29, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 29, 2012 We C&A cruisers do get recognition on Celebrity if we've achieved certain levels. Platinum and Emerald get recognition as Celebrity Select cruisers and Diamond and above as Elite (and vice versa for the Celebrity Captain's Club members out there). However, as Patti is saying, time spent on a Celebrity ship does not increase your Royal Caribbean C&A total because the programs operate independently.

And while the benefits of C & A and Captain's Club stay independent, and the number of sailings accrued on each line is not combined, you will receive equivalent recognition on Celebrity and Azamara.

CruisinDawn Posted March 29, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks for the info but what does this have to do with Royal :confused: Would love to see them back on the West coast but have no interest in Celebrity at this time.
