Cruise credits

Have you been on several cruises? Cruise lines keep up with stuff like that, and if you have cruised on their line before, you get perks. Take Royal Caribbean for example. We have cruised twice on that line, and their records show five "cruise credits." I'm not sure how they came up with that number, but it entitles us to perks that range from a bathrobe to use during our next cruise to priority boarding and debarking. Those are cruise terms for getting on or off the ship. Boarding and debarking can be a hassel, taking as much as two hours. It takes a while to board or debark two or three thousand people. The priority treatment cuts that down to minutes.

Repeat cruisers may get invited to onboard events that are not open to all passengers. They may get discounts and special tours, cabin upgrades, free drinks, gifts and all sorts of stuff that varies from one cruise line to another.

So if you have cruised with that line before, be sure that you mention it when talking to your travel agent or the cruise line people. You might be in line for some royal treatment.
