Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line just sent a major message to the entire cruise industry. Loyalty actually matters.

Starting in 2026, Royal Caribbean is rolling out a brand new program called Points Choice, and it's a gamecher for loyal cruisers.

Cruisers are calling this a power move and a not so subtle shot at Carnival, which recently scaled back some of its loyalty perks.

This is Royal Caribbean saying, "Try our sister lines and we'll still reward you for it."

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use your loyalty points across all Royal Caribbean brands to build Crown & Anchor status.

Royal Caribbean Just Changed Cruise Loyalty Forever!! 🚢🔥 Royal Caribbean just sent a major message to the entire cruise industry — loyalty actually matters. Starting in 2026, they’re launching a new program called Points Choice, and it’s a total game-changer. Here’s how it works: you’ll be able to use your loyalty points across all Royal Caribbean brands — including Celebrity Cruises and Silversea — and still build your Crown & Anchor status. That means if you sail Celebrity one month and Royal Caribbean the next, every single point counts toward the same account. Cruisers are calling this a power move — and a not-so-subtle shot at Carnival, which recently scaled back its own perks. This is Royal Caribbean saying, “Try our sister lines — and we’ll still reward you for it.” And that’s big, because loyalty programs have been one of the most talked-about frustrations in cruising lately. So what do you think — is Royal Caribbean raising the bar, or is this just smart marketing dressed up as generosity?
