Thread: best "loyalty" program perks???

We have been on a few--- and we get some "freebies". What is the best freebies you have received? Mine seem boring---- RCCL coupons and departure lounge, HAL ship tiles? Whatever--- what cool "stuff" have you received and after how many cruises with the "gifting" cruise line????

They all seem to be moving targets. One line is the best one week and then the next is the best the next week.

Everyone will defend their line to the death and be damned if you disagree. Oh sorry, this is not the Dark Side.

Wrong post wrong place.

PE,--- ...

Let me see...Pictures, beach blanket, tote bags, chocolate and the BEST would be the free cocktail party for repeat cruisers!!

I personally like citibank's u promise program. You can save for a college education. My account is linked to my daughters student loan and last year she got 2 months payments applied to her principle from my spendings. And any one can put the person on their account to receive the benefits.

Of course I have the FF miles on my visa also but I think the u promise is the best.

Princess with free Internet (150 Min on a seven day Cruise)after 5 Cruises the best perk on any line.

I prefer the loyalty rewards from my TA over the cheap ship junk from the cruise line.

I love the free internet on Princess after 5 cruises. I have never had any limit on those minutes. I used it a lot on a 10 day cruise when I had a sick friend at home.. As a Platinum member I also enjoy the quiet lounge to wait in on debarkation day.

The RCL program gets much better when you get to Diamond level (10)

The coupon book you get on-board includes: (each person gets a book)
free drink in souvenir glass
free photo
several match plays in the casino
some spa discounts
20 minutes internet

The better stuff is $200 off any balcony booking (on top of any special rates)
Access to the Concierge Lounge on those ships that have it. (free cocktails 5:30-8:30 every night)

I am probaby missing some other stuff.

The free cocktails would be a big plus for me.

Free internet sounds fantastic.
It seems that Princess has lots of great perks. I also understand that they offer future bookings with just $100 to reserve and still offering on-board credit, plus you can change the booking without penalty if your original booking ends up not working out.

I would not be opposed to cruising Princess sometime. One of my collegues LOVES Princess, it's her favorite line.
