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.

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.

How many credits will I get if I book a Jr. Suite on a twelve day cruise?

[crusinmama06]

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

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.

[firefly333]

3 is the max credits you can get per cruise.

[crusinmama06]

Yes, it's 3....this is how they explain it...

 

Additional Benefits

Receive an extra cruise credit when you purchase and sail in a suite (categories RS, OS, FS, GS, JS)

 

Receive an additional cruise credit for a 12-night or longer cruise/cruisetour

I took a cruise in 2005 would i have got credits for them and if so how will i find out if i have been credited with them i Joined C&A when i was on the cruise

[dmpuszcz]

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.

I noticed that you are from the UK. It may be alot different than what we get here in the US. We can access the C&A site here.

I have just sent them an email so shall wait for their reply, i have never been able to have full access to their site when trying the link on the RCI uk website it defaults to your US site for C&A

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.

First cruise counts the same as any other. If you are in a JS or higher, you get the 2 credits. (3 if 12 nights or longer.)

Yep, us over here in Europe can´t access the C&A info on the website. 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.

we did recieve 3 credits per person for our first cruise, was 14 nights, plus a suite. i love it, it gives you incentive to cruise again to gain points for great offers! we've already booked 2 more......so it worked;)

That is incorrect. 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.:)
