| Princess loyalty program update

PRINCESS Cruises has revised its Captain’s Circle member benefits to highlight recent changes to the onboard experience.

Having just announced 2023 voyages to Europe (CW 05 Jul) new benefits that became effective this month for Platinum and Elite members include early access to Dine My Way reservations, and 10% discounts for the Lotus Spa and Photo Gallery.

Platinum membership is achieved after five cruises or 50 cruise days, while Elite members have completed 15 voyages or 150 cruise days.

These two highest level membership tiers will also now receive a 50% discount for any MedallionNet purchase in the MedallionClass application.

This benefit was previously a limited number of free internet minutes for Platinum and Elite members, but newly introduced MedallionNet plans do not allow for free minute allocations.

Elite members will also receive a 10% discount on shore excursions, while Loyalty Commends, an unpublished benefit of onboard credits ranging from $25 to $100, have been discontinued.

To further support its sustainability goals, Princess will convert all onboard loyalty member communications to digital formats.

Princess will deliver pre- and post-cruise communications via email, and on board via stateroom televisions and the MedallionClass app.

The Captain’s Circle magazine will continue to be printed and mailed quarterly, with special offers for guests.
