Cruise line past passenger programs reward cruisers when they are loyal to a particular
cruise line. Rewards are generally in the form of free upgrades, special discounts,
onboard cocktail parties, stateroom amenities, and shipboard credits.
Due to heavy discounting it has been difficult to keep clients from jumping from
fleet-to-fleet. To entice passengers to keep their loyalty to one line cruise line
executives are rewarding their regular passengers much more generously than ever
before. Royal Caribbean has recently revamped their program and several other lines
are in the process of redesigning their past passenger programs.
The following cruise lines offer past passenger programs:
