Crown & Anchor Member Society Updates
As we return to service, we know your loyal Crown & Anchor Society Members have questions about onboard changes to our loyalty program. The below will hopefully provide more clarity to your clients:
- Access to Suite & Concierge Lounge- Because of new health and physical distancing protocols, we have temporarily suspended access to these lounges. Our health protocols will continue to change as public health conditions evolve.
- Access to the Diamond Lounge- While we also need to manage new capacity limits in this venue, we're happy to offer additional beverage vouchers to our Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Club members to use at any bar, including the Diamond Lounge and our private destinations! Whether it's sparkling water, sparkling wine, or the drink of the day, your clients can choose when and where to enjoy these beverages. The capacity limits are temporary.
- Coastal Kitchen- Pinnacle Club members are still able to enjoy meals in Coastal Kitchen. We encourage your clients to make reservations with the Maître d’ onboard. They will also receive a $25 dining certificate per member, per sailing to enjoy at the specialty restaurant of their choice.
U.S. Health and Safety Measures
Your clients can plan their cruise adventure with peace of mind knowing that all crew members will be vaccinated against COVID-19. Guests are strongly recommended to set sail fully vaccinated, if they are eligible. Those who are unvaccinated or unable to show proof of vaccination will receive a test before boarding. Other measures in place for your clients to cruise with Royal Caribbean include:
- Vacationers sailing to Alaska and who are 16 years of age or older must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and those 12 or older as of Aug. 1.
- If departing from an international port, guests must meet the travel requirements of their home country and the country of departure. The most up-to-date policies can be found online on each country’s tourism site.
Royal Caribbean is continuing discussions with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and multiple state, local and port authorities regarding the various additional measures for the upcoming sailings. This process requires each ship to complete simulation cruises before receiving approval to resume sailing once again in the U.S. The applications for simulation cruises are under review and receiving approvals on a rolling basis. The progress made as a result of the ongoing collaboration with and support from the state, local and federal level continues to set the stage for Royal Caribbean to return to sailing this summer as planned.
We will be sure to share updates with you and your clients before setting sail!
Cruises outside of those announced today will be canceled through the end of August. Booked guests and travel partners impacted will be contacted with further details specific to their sailing, including the option to receive a full refund. Royal Caribbean is grateful for the patience and loyalty with its guests to ensure they are able to take part in their planned vacations. For added reassurance, all vacationers who have booked by July 31 are covered by the Cruise with Confidence program.
