Royal Caribbean is offering double Crown and Anchor Society points for new cruise bookings, as part of its new program enhancement.
Loyalty 2X Points applies to new, individual, and named group bookings confirmed at prevailing rates, and existing bookings made before December 31, 2020 on all Eligible Sailings.
Royal Caribbean updated the offer to extend it as well to existing bookings. The sailing must depart between January 1 – December 31, 2021.
Loyalty 2X Points is available to Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Crown & Anchor Society members.
Crown and Anchor points will be applied once the guest pays the booking in full and completes the sailing. When reserving, a valid Crown & Anchor Society membership number must be included in the reservation.
The bonus provides an additional point per night of new cruises booked, which means staying in a standard stateroom would get you two points per night, instead of one.
The Double Points offer also provides bonus points for guests who would otherwise qualify for bonus points:
- Standard room: 2 points per night
- Suite room: 4 points per night
- Solo guest in standard room: 4 points per night
- Solo guest in suite: 6 points per night
The Double Points offer is global but excludes China.

UPDATE: It also appears Royal Caribbean will extend this offer to existing bookings, and not just new reservations.

Why this is a good deal
Royal Caribbean offering double Crown and Anchor Society points is significant because this is an offer that has not been available in many years.
Even when Royal Caribbean did offer extra points, it was usually restricted to much less of a timeframe. And even then, that was quite a long time ago.
Getting extra points makes it much easier to move up the cruise line's customer loyalty program, which allows for better perks and amenities for repeat cruisers.
Usually you get one point per night of the cruise, but with this offer you can get an extra point per night.
Perks of the Crown and Anchor Society include rewards such as onboard discounts, complimentary alcoholic beverages, special rates and more.
