Note: Loyalty Eligibility and Exceptions
While the Sailing Club loyalty scheme offers these great benefits, it’s important to note that cruises that are booked with access keys (either gifted cruises, casino comp cruises or those bought with interline, airmails or points), reduced voyages priced at $100 or less per night, and certain other types of bookings do not earn loyalty benefits. Some bookings may continue to receive benefits previously earned.
Side note: There is technically a step above the Sailing Club, it’s called Club 485C which is an exclusive club of 99 sailors and Richard Branson.
