Just like hotels and airlines, Cruise Lines have their very own loyalty programs as well<\/strong>, and I recently decided to take on the\u00a0Princess Cruises Captains Circle<\/strong> and go on a status run.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I decided to do this after I had already completed my target with Celebrity Cruises<\/a> a few years ago, which I also reported about here on LoyaltyLobby, and back then, I vowed to also look at other programs when the opportunity arises.<\/p>\n

The big advantage of cruise line loyalty is that you don\u2019t have to requalify each year as the points and tier level are accumulated over a lifetime as far as most programs are concerned, they come with a range of benefits as well as a few drawbacks. <\/p>\n

Up until about six years ago, I knew nothing about cruises. I got them offered frequently from MGM casinos in Las Vegas, but never bothered taking any until I was offered an Alaska cruise for the first time, rather than going to the Caribbean, which never really interested me that much.<\/p>\n

I have since taken seventeen cruises and really have become a fan, which I initially wouldn\u2019t have imagined to happen (at least not for the next 20 years).<\/p>\n

After getting a bit tired of Celebrity after so many cruises, I have started to branch out a little and took different lines such as Holland America and this month my first trip with Princess Cruises<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course, I looked very closely into their loyalty program and was astounded by how fast one is able to rise through the status levels with them.<\/p>\n

After my single two week (2x 7 day itinerary) cruise in a full suite (anything above what Princess calls a Mini Suite), I have now reached six cruise credits and just clocked in the Platinum tier, basically jumping two tier levels:<\/strong><\/p>\n
