Welcome to the Royal Caribbean blog podcast, a week look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your house Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 34.

Once you cruise with Royal Caribbean and discover that you like it, and probably like it a lot,

then you likely want to sign up for Real Caribbean's customer loyalty program,

the Crown and Anchor Society.

So what is this program all about?

Why might you want to join?

And what are the perks of it?

All great questions.

And on today's episode, we're going to try to answer them all.

We also have your emails, voicemails, tweets, Facebook messages, and more to share.

So stay tuned for that as well.

Here we go.

World Caribbean's Crown and Anchor Society is the customer loyalty program the cruise line offers to repeat cruisers.

Joining is really simple and free.

The only eligibility requirement is you have to take at least one Royal Caribbean cruise before.

So after completing your first Royal Caribbean cruise, you can sign up either on board the ship itself, actually, during your first cruise.

Or you can actually sign up online at any time via the Royal Caribbean website. Anyone regardless of age can sign up. So if your family is cruising,

every member of your family, including kids, can sign up in a cruise status in Crown and Anchor

Society. For each night you cruise the Royal Caribbean, you will accrue one point. So on a seven-night

cruise, you will accrue seven points. But if you stay in a suite category of the state room, you'll get double points, and this includes

junior streets.
