Fast-Track Your Status: Royal Caribbean Brings Back Double Cruise Points!
If you’ve been waiting for the ultimate reason to lock in your next vacation, this is it. Royal Caribbean has officially brought back its famous Double Cruise Points promotion for Crown & Anchor Society members!
Whether you’re aiming for Diamond drinks, priority embarkation, or eyeing Pinnacle status, this limited-time offer lets you reach those elite tiers in half the time.
Here is everything you need to know about how the promotion works, which sailings qualify, and how to maximize your points.
📅 Key Dates & Booking Window
This is a flash promotion, so timing is everything:
Booking Window: July 21, 2026 – July 31, 2026
Sailing Window: Departures between September 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027
Eligible Guests: All Crown & Anchor Society members (just make sure your loyalty number is attached at booking!)
Limit: Applies to up to two cruises per member during the promotional sailing window.
🧮 How the Points Math Works
Standard Royal Caribbean loyalty rules award 1 Cruise Point per night in a standard stateroom (Interior, Ocean View, or Balcony), 2 points per night for Suite guests, and an extra bonus point for solo travelers in double-occupancy cabins.
Under this promotion, every qualifying base point is doubled:
Stateroom / Traveler Type | Standard Earning Rate | Double Points Promo Rate | 7-Night Cruise Total |
Standard Cabin (Interior/Ocean View/Balcony) | 1 Point / Night | 2 Points / Night | 14 Points |
Suite (Junior Suite & Above) | 2 Points / Night | 4 Points / Night | 28 Points |
Solo Traveler (Standard Cabin) | 2 Points / Night | 4 Points / Night | 28 Points |
Solo Traveler (Suite) | 3 Points / Night | 6 Points / Night | 42 Points |
💡 Pro Tip: Booking a 7-night Junior Suite during this window earns you 28 points on a single cruise. That is more than enough to jump straight from Gold status to Platinum in a single week!
🎁 Yes, It Stacks With Other Deals!
One of the best features of this promotion is its combinability. You don't have to choose between saving money or earning extra loyalty points.
You can combine the Double Points offer with:
BOGO60 (60% off 2nd Guest)
Kids Sail Free & Free 3rd/4th Guests
Promotional Onboard Credits (OBC) & Instant Savings
Restricted Discounts (Senior, Military, State Resident rates)
