Crown & Anchor / Captain's Club

[Denpetter]

Hi all,

 

I'm two points due of becoming a C&A platinum member (I know it's not a lot but I'm relatively new to cruising), and during my last RCCL cruise I booked a cruise on Celebrity.

 

So will I be able to add points to my C&A membership onboard Celebrity since it's owned by the same company? Or will I have to sign up for a membership in the Captain's Club?

 

I'd rather add it on my existing C&A account.

 

For obvious reasons.

No, you will not. Sorry. They award reciprocal status is you are at least Platinum at time of sailing, but the credits do not increase one another's.

Unfortunately, credits on Celebrity don't add to Royal. Each cruise line maintains a separate account of your cruises.

 

However, the cruise lines do recognize each others levels. When you become Plainum on Royal, you will be Select on Celebrity. Same with Diamond - it becomes Elite on Celebrity. You may have to call Celebrity to get the reciprocal status.

thanks Paul. so it was how I suspected it to be.

Aquahound has given the correct answer.

 

What is interesting is that once you reach Diamond on RCCL, you will them be given Celebrity's highest existing level, Elite!

celebrity's top level is rather easy to achieve. One can get it by getting D on Royal as you mention. But it is, at the moment, easy to get on Celebrity (just 5 short cruises in a glorified balcony cabin called "concierge class" gets ten credits on X and that gets one D on RCI). that is potentially a fast and inexpensive way to get Elite/D...unless (or until) X changes the way it counts points.

 

Oddly, captain's club members express frustration on CC about the D/D+ members in their events, when the faster (and often cheaper because Concirge class is generally less costly than JS) way to climb loyalty programs is via X Elite.
