Maximize Rewards Benefits with Royal Caribbean & MGM Resorts Partnership
Thanks to a fantastic partnership between MGM Resorts and Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor Society and Celebrity Cruises’ Captain’s Club, you can now extend your perks across all three facilities. This collaboration brings a blend of sea and land benefits, offering the opportunity to maximize your rewards and elevate your vacations to the next level!
How the Partnership Works for Players
This partnership offers a tier match program which allows Crown & Anchor Society and Captain’s Club members to receive a corresponding status level within the MGM Rewards program. For Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor Society members, the tier matching works as follows:
- Gold members receive Sapphire status.
- Platinum members are matched to Pearl status.
- Emerald, Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Club members enjoy Gold status.
For Celebrity Cruises’ Captain’s Club members, the matching is similar:
- Preview members are matched to Sapphire.
- Classic members receive Pearl status.
- Select, Elite, Elite Plus, and Zenith members all correspond to Gold status.
It’s important to note that players must choose between receiving benefits from either Crown & Anchor Society/Captain’s Club or MGM Rewards at the time of booking, as the benefits are non-combinable and nontransferable.
MGM Rewards members can also enjoy additional perks, however, this is a one-way tier match. Players will not be able to use their MGM status to get a corresponding tier match with Royal or Celebrity.
INSIDER TIP!
Select MGM properties may hold certificate events where players can receive special cruises. If you earn a certificate, you are actually eligible for more comp sailings than what is listed. Simply upload the offer to URComped.com (the casino travel partner of Royal Caribbean International), and you’ll be pre-qualified for even more sailings across multiple cruise lines without losing the certificate value - which you’ll still be able to redeem. A personal executive host will be assigned to assist you with bookings and work on your behalf to secure additional benefits. URComped can open the door to international sailings, VIP events, and even other resorts! This is a great way to leverage your certificate and maximize your comp offers.
