If you have sailed with Royal Caribbean before, you may already have a loyalty account through the Crown & Anchor Society, Royal Caribbean's loyalty program. Your loyalty status is based on Cruise Points earned from completed sailings, and higher tiers provide additional onboard benefits, discounts, and recognition.
Checking your Royal Caribbean loyalty status is useful before booking or boarding your next cruise. It lets you confirm your current tier, review your Cruise Points, and make sure your membership information is correctly connected to your reservation.
The easiest approach is to sign in to your Royal Caribbean account and use the Crown & Anchor member area to review your benefits and status.
Royal Caribbean's loyalty program is called the Crown & Anchor Society. Membership is free, and Cruise Points do not expire. Members earn points through eligible Royal Caribbean sailings, with their accumulated points determining their loyalty tier.
The program currently has six main tiers:
You reach Gold after completing your first qualifying cruise and earning the required points.
Start by visiting the official Royal Caribbean International website and accessing your account.
Look for the account or sign-in option and log in using the credentials associated with your Royal Caribbean profile.
Once signed in, navigate to your Crown & Anchor Society information.
Royal Caribbean provides a member area where existing members can view their benefits. The Crown & Anchor page includes a “See my benefits” option for members.
Your account should show the loyalty information associated with your Crown & Anchor membership.
Look for your:
Your tier is determined by the number of Cruise Points you have accumulated.
If you want to verify that your displayed status is correct, compare your Cruise Points with the current tier thresholds.
| Crown & Anchor Tier | Cruise Points Required |
|---|---|
| Gold | 3 |
| Platinum | 30 |
| Emerald | 55 |
| Diamond | 80 |
| Diamond Plus | 175 |
| Pinnacle Club | 700 |
These thresholds are published by Royal Caribbean and are subject to the program's terms and conditions.
Your Cruise Points are the primary measure used to determine your Crown & Anchor loyalty status.
Royal Caribbean states that members normally earn one Cruise Point for each completed night of sailing. Eligible suite bookings and certain solo bookings can earn two points per night.
For example, a seven-night qualifying cruise generally earns seven Cruise Points at the standard rate. A qualifying two-points-per-night booking would earn 14 points for the same seven-night sailing.
Remember that loyalty points are different from other Royal Caribbean rewards or credit-card points. For example, Royal ONE Rewards points do not count toward Crown & Anchor loyalty status.
You may not see new Cruise Points immediately after leaving a ship.
Royal Caribbean says Cruise Points can take up to 30 days after a completed cruise to appear in your account.
If you have just completed a cruise, give the account time to update before assuming that points are missing.
If your newly credited points move you into a higher Crown & Anchor tier, the new tier benefits generally begin on your next sailing, rather than being retroactively applied to the cruise you have just completed.
This makes it worthwhile to check your account before your next cruise, particularly if you believe you have recently crossed a tier threshold.
If your Cruise Points or Crown & Anchor tier does not look correct, first check whether enough time has passed since your most recent sailing.
Review your previous Royal Caribbean sailings and make sure all eligible cruises are associated with your Crown & Anchor account.
It is particularly important to provide your Crown & Anchor membership number when making future bookings so Royal Caribbean can properly associate your loyalty information with the reservation.
If your cruise ended recently, wait until the 30-day processing period has passed before treating the missing points as an account problem.
If the information remains incorrect after the appropriate processing period, contact Royal Caribbean's Crown & Anchor customer service.
Royal Caribbean's FAQ lists 800-526-9723 for customers in the U.S. and Canada and 541-285-9723 for customers outside the U.S. and Canada.
If you have a duplicate Crown & Anchor account or have been assigned a different membership number, Royal Caribbean specifically recommends contacting Crown & Anchor customer service.
Royal Caribbean also uses its app for Crown & Anchor-related features.
For example, eligible members can use the Royal Caribbean app or website to submit a Points Choice request for sailings departing on or after January 30, 2026.
The app can therefore be useful for managing your cruise information and accessing loyalty-related services, although the exact screens and features available can change as Royal Caribbean updates its digital services.
The basic system is straightforward: the more qualifying nights you sail, the more Cruise Points you accumulate.
You generally earn:
Points accumulate throughout your Crown & Anchor membership.
Royal Caribbean states that Crown & Anchor Cruise Points do not expire.
This means you do not normally need to rush to use your points before a deadline. Instead, your accumulated points help determine your long-term loyalty tier.
Benefits increase as you move through the Crown & Anchor tiers.
Depending on your status, benefits can include various discounts, onboard offers, priority-related benefits, special events, and other forms of recognition. Royal Caribbean's current benefit grid provides the detailed benefits and restrictions for each tier.
For example, higher tiers can provide greater discounts and additional onboard privileges. Diamond members receive four complimentary daily drink vouchers under the current program, while higher tiers provide additional benefits and recognition.
Because benefits can vary by tier, ship, sailing, and program terms, check the current Crown & Anchor benefits before relying on a particular perk.
This is an important change for Royal Caribbean Group loyalty members.
Under the Points Choice program, eligible loyalty points earned from sailings with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, or Silversea can be applied to the participating loyalty program of the member's choice, subject to eligibility requirements.
The program applies to eligible sailings departing on or after January 30, 2026.
Members can also receive one-for-one loyalty tier matching across the three Royal Caribbean Group brands through the Loyalty Status Match program, although some brand-specific benefits are excluded from status matching.
Checking your status before departure can prevent confusion and help you understand what benefits you should receive.
It is especially useful when:
Checking ahead of time also gives you an opportunity to resolve account problems before your next vacation.
Sign in to your Royal Caribbean account and access the Crown & Anchor Society member area. You can use the available member benefits and account information to review your loyalty status and Cruise Points.
Royal Caribbean's loyalty program is called the Crown & Anchor Society. It is free to join and rewards eligible cruise activity with Cruise Points and tier benefits.
Gold status requires 3 Cruise Points. It is the entry tier after completing the required qualifying cruise activity.
You need 30 Cruise Points to reach Platinum status.
Diamond status requires 80 Cruise Points.
No. Royal Caribbean states that Crown & Anchor Cruise Points do not expire.
Royal Caribbean says Cruise Points can take up to 30 days after a completed sailing to appear in your account.
Yes. Qualifying suite bookings and certain solo bookings can earn two Cruise Points per completed night rather than the standard one point per night.
No. Royal ONE Rewards points are separate from Crown & Anchor Cruise Points and do not count toward Royal Caribbean loyalty status.
First, check that your recent sailing has been completed and allow up to 30 days for the points to be credited. If the points are still missing, contact Crown & Anchor Society customer service and provide your membership and sailing information.
Yes. Royal Caribbean Group currently offers one-for-one tier matching across Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea, subject to the program's terms. Some benefits are excluded from status matching.
Checking your Royal Caribbean loyalty status is a simple way to keep track of your Crown & Anchor membership and make sure you understand the benefits available for your next cruise.
Log in to your Royal Caribbean account, review your Crown & Anchor information, and compare your Cruise Points with the published tier requirements. Remember that newly earned points can take up to 30 days to appear, so a recent cruise may not immediately change the status shown in your account.
If your points remain incorrect after the processing period, contacting Crown & Anchor Society is the best way to resolve the issue. Keeping your membership number attached to future reservations can also help ensure your cruise activity is properly recorded.
