Celebrity Cruises
We did not try Celebrity until they refitted Celebrity Century and offered the ship for short cruises. Taking a short cruise on any given cruise line is a great way to try them out and see if they are a good fit for you. In our case we found Celebrity to be a bit more upscale and more to our liking. Each line has signature elements that are not duplicated between lines, areas they excel in. On Celebrity, for us, the appeal was their Concierge Class service which started about the time we began cruising with them.
Our Captain's Club premier recognition and rewards program, with exclusive benefits for each membership tier, is designed to make you the center of our attention. It’s all part of our effort to match our highest level of onboard design with the highest level of recognition.
As a Classic member, you'll receive complimentary access to our Captain's Club Celebration event. You'll also enjoy great ways to save with exclusive onboard premium offers.
As a Select member, you'll enjoy all the benefits of a Classic member, plus discounted Internet and laundry service specials.
Our Elite members know that loyalty yields great rewards, including complimentary Internet and laundry services, as well as access to the Captain's Club lounge.
It's Easy to Earn Tier Credits**
Unlike other cruise loyalty programs, the Captain's Club uses tier credits rather than cruises to determine your benefits. We currently offer up to three ways to earn tier credits on a single cruise. This makes it easier for our members to qualify for higher tiers and receive more exclusive benefits quickly.
*Onboard benefits are exclusive to sailings on Celebrity Cruises® (Excluding Celebrity
Norwegian Cruise Line
