2GuysinGreenville Posted May 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I see that both RCCL and Celebrity are part of Cruisingpower - is that an "alliance" similar to World's Leading Cruise Lines? Are past-guest discounts or other perks transferable between RCCL & Celebrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Booper Posted May 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2010 RCI, Celebrity and Azamara are all owned by RCCL, a holding company. You can't combine cruise histories but are entitled to the highest level attained on any one of them on all the others. So if you are Diamond on RCI with 18 credits, and only 2 credits on Celebrity, if you sailed on another Celebrity you would be treated as if you had 18 on Celebrity, which is Elite, the highest level.

Are past-guest discounts or other perks transferable between RCCL & Celebrity? RCCL (Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd) is the parent company, similar to Carnival Corp. RCCL owns RCI (Royal Caribbean International) and Celebrity, along with some other, smaller lines. Like The Big Booper said, you are given reciprocal acknowledgment between RCI and Celebrity, but it is not a combined program, like Hilton Honors.

Sue L Posted May 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2010 You need to reach the first tier on either to gain reciprocal on the other, in other words you have to be Platinum (5 points) on RCL to get the same recognition on Celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Viking Posted May 11, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I believe that Crusingpower is a website set up by RCCL for their travel agents and has nothing the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold level C&A members (1-4 cruise credits) are not eligible for reciprocal perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted May 11, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Interesting that it takes 24 cruise credits to reach the highest level on RCCL, but only 10 on Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momzcruzing Posted May 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I am Diamond Plus with RCCL and have NEVER taken a Celebrity Cruise, but I have one booked. When I logged onto Celebrity for check in, their website shows me as Elite- Celebrity's highest level. All the info crossed over automatically.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt10 Posted May 11, 2010 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Also, credits earned on Azamara are combined into Celebrity. As least they were when we sailed on them.... Happy Cruising, TnT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted May 11, 2010 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Interesting that it takes 24 cruise credits to reach the highest level on RCCL, but only 10 on Celebrity. RCI has an additional membership level (Diamond Plus) which has certain amenities that are not available to Diamond members. Until recently the benefits available to members of Celebrity's Captain's Club were clearly inferior to those offered to members of RCI's Crown and Anchor Society. Changes to the Celebrity loyalty program may have narrowed that gap and some might even claim that Celebrity's program has surpassed RCI's. We have not cruised with Celebrity since those changes went into effect, so I can't say with any certainty whether or not this is true. There have been rumors that Celebrity will, at some point in the future, add another level of membership to the Captain's Club structure. Time will tell.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
