Creator's Key Takeaways

If you have an American Express Platinum or Centurion Card and you're booking a cruise without using the Cruise Privileges Program, you could be missing out on valuable perks you already deserve.

And most card holders have no idea these benefits even exist.

Just having the card is not enough. These perks usually have to be applied correctly through the program on eligible sailings with the right registration and booking process.

That's why it pays to work with a travel advisor who already knows these programs inside and out.
