Kids C&A Process

[vision14k]

Our two-year-old has been on one cruise with us and is going on another in two weeks.  What is the process (if any) to set him up on the crown and anchor program?  Do we create him his own account? Does he already have his own? Do we do anything? Thank you.

Your child should have their own Crown And Anchor number that was assigned after their first cruise.

Call the Crown And Anchor loyalty department, to retrieve the number. If his account number has not already been created, have them set up an account and be sure that they credit the previously taken cruise.

My daughter had to call to set her kids accounts up.

Thank you for asking this.

I emailed Crown & Anchor to set up my kids’ numbers. It was super easy!

Makes sense to me. Celebrity does it. I also believe if kids are cruising under the KSF program they shouldn't be receiving CAS points for those cruises. Would you still cruise if she wasn't earning CAS points? 

 

Well, even I'm not cruising for the points.   We have our starter cruise coming up, so we're cruising to see if we like it.  But, I'd think it was pissy of them to not give her points just because she was a kid and it would be a ding against Royal if they did that.  We're paying adult prices for her, but even on KSF I'd think they should get the points.   Adults on a casino comp cruise get points.

Just voicing my opinion, as unpopular as it may be on the RCI forum. 😉 ✌️ Curious, what's your starter cruise? First cruise?

Yes, it is to see if we like it.    I was one of those that always said I'd be bored on a cruise and I wasn't interested.   Then several people we know went on cruises and told me about them.  After, I told the family about one of those, they said, "Why don't we try a cruise?"   So, I looked into the idea and it seemed reasonable.  I looked for a cruise in the 5-7 day length leaving from a drivable port, Galveston or New Orleans, with a big water slide (for me).   I've already been to many places in the Caribbean, and the family has been to none, so ports didn't matter.  We wanted to do it as cheaply as possible, since there is a chance we'll hate it.   Fall 2022 I booked Voyager 5-day in Feb 2024.  We got two promenade rooms for 4 people for $1400.  

One nice thing, I really wanted DD aged 13 to be safe AND have fun.  So, we invited one of her friends to come along.   The rule will be that they need to be together, or with us, or in the room.  The girl's parents said Yes, and then later they decided to come too.  They are one of the people I know that cruise often.

We took our first cruise in 1991. I was totally against it so my wife made all the arrangements. Still against it right up to getting on the ship in Hawaii. Long story short we both loved the cruise and have been hooked ever since. The cruise line was American Hawaii Cruise Line. Ship was the SS Constitution. Size was just under <30, 000 GTW.  8 night Hawaii island(s) cruise. That was the cruise we decided we will never eat late dining again. 

 

Enjoy your cruise. I won't be surprised to see you post you liked the cruise and are hooked. Like the majority of people that do cruise and especially here on CC.

Not sure the year, but my parents sailed SS Constitution around Hawaii.
