Top-tier Zenith status doesn&#8217;t kick in until a customer hits 3,000 points.<\/p>\n<p>Captain&#8217;s Club points are earned based on cabin category and cruise length, with higher-category staterooms and longer sailings earning points faster.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-2362441780\">For Elite Plus members, the new milestone levels offer valuable perks<\/h2>\n<p>At the new 1,500 points milestone level, Elite Plus members will get 480 minutes of premium Wi-Fi, plus 20% off specialty dining, a complimentary photo and a surprise in-room amenity.<\/p>\n<p>At the new 2,250-point milestone, the number of free Wi-Fi minutes climbs to 720, and members also get 25% off dining, two photos and a surprise amenity. Plus, where available, at this new milestone level, members will get access to Extend Your Stay, Celebrity&#8217;s late checkout program that lets you stay onboard after the standard disembarkation time, which is a small perk that frequent cruisers tend to love.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-2362441780\">The biggest upgrade may be at the very top of the loyalty ladder<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most iconic perks of reaching Zenith status at 3,000 points is a complimentary seven-night Bermuda or Caribbean cruise in a Veranda stateroom. Now, this milestone level also brings a 35% specialty dining discount, three complimentary photos and another surprise amenity on the milestone sailing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><span><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/cruise\/best-celebrity-cruises-destinations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>The 5 best destinations you can visit on a Celebrity Cruises ship<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_container__YVxAW tw-border tw-border-gray-2\"><picture class=\"tw-flex tw-items-center tw-justify-center tw-opacity-0\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-mob.svg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_form__xvcP4\">\n<p>Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<form class=\"jsx-606422965 newsletter-form\">\n<div class=\"jsx-606422965 EmailCapture_confirmation__AJ4nI EmailCapture_noCheckbox__2BHzb   &#10;          \">\n<p class=\"tw-text-xs-regular !tw-text-gray-5 hover:!tw-text-gray-5 tw-max-w-lg\">By signing up, you will receive newsletters and promotional content and agree to our<!-- --> <a class=\"!tw-text-gray-5 hover:!tw-text-gray-5\" href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/terms-of-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terms of Use<\/a> <!-- -->and acknowledge the data practices in our<!-- --> <a class=\"!tw-text-gray-5 hover:!tw-text-gray-5\" href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/privacy-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.

The move followed the rollout of a status-match program that aligns tier recognition across the group&#8217;s cruise lines.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related reading:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/cruise\/celebrity-cruises-captains-club-loyalty-program-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Cruises is giving its most loyal cruisers more reasons to get on board.
