Some lines tally the number of nights you sail, while others operate on a points system, with points earned based on number of nights cruised or dollars spent. With that in mind, The Points Guy has some advice that could help you reach cruise loyalty program milestones more quickly.įirst, you'll need to figure out how loyalty status is determined on your favorite cruise line. Unlike air and hotel reward schemes, cruise loyalty programs do not reset to zero each year. Once you reach each tier, you stay there until you move to the next. However, what's great about cruise line programs is that you have status for life. If the upper echelons seem unattainable, The Points Guy can help.īecause people generally cruise less than they fly or stay in hotels, it can take longer for customers to reach cruise programs' higher tiers than it might take for them to become high-level elite with an airline or hotel group.
Do you crave VIP status? Do discounts, freebies and complimentary cruises sound enticing? All that and more can be yours through your cruise line's loyalty program.
