    Loyalty Status Match

    One status, three cruise lines

    Hold status with one brand and enroll in the other two, and the matching tier is applied automatically. Allow up to 7 days. The match table changed on July 1, 2026; this is the current one.

    Crown & AnchorCaptain's ClubVenetian Society

    What does not match

    • Perks that must be earned on the brand itself: Pinnacle and Zenith complimentary cruises, Crown & Anchor's single-supplement reduction, Venetian Society referral savings and milestone recognition.
    • Retreat Lounge access on Celebrity comes with a Retreat booking, not with matched Zenith status.
    • Matched status gives you the tier. Each ship's perks still differ by brand.
    • Venetian Society members at 250 or 350 VS Days both match to Diamond Plus and Elite Plus.
    Matched before July 2026? Members matched at 100 or 250 VS Days keep that level only if they sailed or booked with Silversea between May 30, 2024 and June 14, 2026. Members matched at 350 or 500 VS Days keep their level.

    Points Choice

    Move your points between the three programs

    For sailings departing on or after January 30, 2026, you decide which program earns the points from each cruise. The exchange rates below are per night and are published once a year.

    Why it matters: a Royal Caribbean Diamond member who books a Celebrity Sky Suite week earns 56 Captain's Club points. Keep them with Celebrity, or move them to Royal as 14 Crown & Anchor points. That beats the 7 points a standard Royal balcony week earns, and we help you choose.
