Jenx The credits apply to RCI's loyalty program which has tier level perks for return cruisers (1-4 = Gold level, 5-9 = Platinum, etc.). Credits are awarded upon completion of each cruise. Click on "Crown and Anchor Society" on Royal Caribbean's website for all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 27, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Once you've taken this cruise (if it's your first), you will get 2 C&A credits, if you book the JS. (a regular cabin gets 1 credit) Then, when you cruise on RCI again, you will continue to accrue "credits"--when you get 5 credits, you start getting better offers, coupons, perks....things like that, for being a "loyal" RCI patron.

sandypail Posted November 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2008 How many credits will I get if I book a Jr. Suite on a twelve day cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted November 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Not a stupid question at all....I'll copy the info fromt he RCCL web site.... Q: What are Cruise Credits and why do they matter? A: Cruise Credits are the "points" that determine your status in the Crown & Anchor Society. Different cruise situations earn different Cruise Credit amounts. For instance, if you are a Crown & Anchor Society member and you complete a 12-night cruise or longer, you could be eligible for 2 Cruise Credits. Each non-discounted cruise typically earns 1 Cruise Credit, although other terms and conditions apply. Cruise Credits are important if you are a member of the Crown & Anchor Society because the more Cruise Credits you have, the more benefits you're entitled to. For a complete list of the membership levels and benefits of the Crown & Anchor Society, check out our Members Benefits page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEMH Posted November 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2008 So a 12 night cruise in a Junior Suite is... 2 credits or 4 credits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted November 28, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2008 So a 12 night cruise in a Junior Suite is... 2 credits or 4 credits? Actually I think it's 3. You get 1 credit for the cruise, then another for staying in a suite, then another for it being 12 days. So it should be 3. I am looking for past posts to confirm that though.

dmpuszcz Posted November 28, 2008 #11 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I would give crown and anchor a call and see what your C&A number is. You can register online and see your credits. They would probably tell you how many credits over the phone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyriecat Posted November 29, 2008 #14 Share Posted November 29, 2008 If I remember this correctly, your first cruise only counts a 1 credit whether you are in a suite, on a 12+ day, etc. You don't start earning the multiple credits until your first cruise AFTER you join C&A. I might be wrong so calling C&A to verify the cruise credit status is highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But emailing them will get you the result as well. I had emailed them for a question earlier this year and it came out while they had me at the right C&A level there was a difference in cruise credits. I sent them a list of my cruises and should be cruise credits and it was corrected by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a reply back from C&A heres what they say Unfortunately, Crown & Anchor Society online account services are currently only available to residents of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

You will receive as many credits as you qualify for regardless of whether it is your first or your thirty first cruise. Sailing in a JS on a 12 night or longer cruise will earn you three credits and three credits is the maximum number of credits you will receive for any RCI cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
