Tiger317 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I have a free cruise from Royal Caribbean for two. I have to pay for the taxes and grats when I book. I think you normally don't get points for a free cruise, but if I added a third person to the room would I then be eligible for crown and anchor points? What about if I upgraded room categories?

AshleyDillo Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 You will get points for a free cruise if you have to pay taxes and gratuities. It's special sailings such as media sailings where you wouldn't be paying taxes and port fees where they don't offer the points.

I actually thought it was a mistake and they would catch on and take them away from me. Thanks for that info and I feel much better.

CrznTxn Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 You definitely get the C&A points for your "free" cruise. Since the return of cruises we have been on six "free" cruises through the casino so you know they were not free. We have received the double points for each of our cruises that we booked last year and have several to go for this year. Enjoy your upcoming cruise!

Susans Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 C&A Policy: Cruise points are given for eligible cruises per stateroom category paid. Complimentary, promotional and/or reduced rate upgrades will not receive additional Cruise Points if final berth category is in a suite when moved from a lower stateroom category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr martini Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Just had a casino royale free cruise for 2 people in ocean view room, paid to upgrade to a junior suite along with the usual taxes/fees and can confirm my wife and I both got the double points on that sailing.
