The Mail Buoy Episode 26

It was a slow week this week, so we decided to do just one show. There just wasn’t a lot of news this past week and we decided to keep this week’s feature, cruise line loyalty programs short.

In the news this week:

• Celebrity partners with Lead Frog
• QM2 in Germany for repairs
• Carnival Triumph to sail seasonal Eastern Caribbean itinerary.
• Princess to hold simultaneous ship naming
• Trouble onboard Carnival Liberty
• Celebrity deals with some bad news

Once finished with the news we discussed the various loyalty programs offered by the crews lines. Some of the highlights of what’s offered:

• Princess’ Captain Circle which offers things like complementary internet access in their cyber-cafes.
• Celebrity’s Captain’s Club which is one of the richest programs available, not only can you get reciprocal benefits onboard Royal Caribbean, but there are also added benefits you can get if you’re a Captain’s Club member and enroll in the Crown and Anchor Society on Royal Caribbean.
• Holland America loves to recognize their Mariner Society members, check out the neat tiles that Mariner Society members get when they sail on Holland America by going here.
