You're listening to the Cruise Tips TV Unplugged podcast. This week on the show, we are comparing

cruise line loyalty programs.

Welcome to Cruise Tips TV Unplugged. I'm your host, Sherry, and we invite you to join our

cruise-loving family as we travel the world creating cruise videos and

vlogs. In this podcast, we talk tips, tactics, and strategies to help you make every cruise your dream

cruise. So I forgot to point, didn't I?

You did. You're supposed to point when it's my time to talk. This is our cue. We have

very technical things here that we do, and one of mine is to cue her when to talk, and I'm just

sitting there at her looking all doe-eyed. You literally opened his eyes really wide, and I was like,

oh, that must be my cue. Well, today we're going to talk about kind of the big five cruise lines and their loyalty

programs. So we're going to go over Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, and MSC. And I am

going to touch at the end of the show, in less detail, we're going to talk about Holland America

and celebrities loyalty programs, too, because I don't want to miss

them. But in the interest of time, we decided to focus on that group of five primary cruise lines.

There's some good perks out there for the loyalty programs. This is making me more like explore

the other cruise lines more like Royal Caribbean. Can I ask you some cut to the chase

questions in case somebody doesn't have like the full time to listen? Sure. What's your

opinion of loyalty programs generally speaking? Oh, I think it's a genius way for the. So it's worth

bothering. It's worth bothering. The cruise lines want to recognize you for your loyalty to them.

And so they're going to offer you things to keep you coming back to their cruise line, right?

So they're going to try to sweeten the pot.

I think it's wonderful.
