Celebrity Cruises' Power Up Programme

Celebrity Cruises have recently announced their Power Up Points Programme, that allows Captain’s Club members to earn points from home. Once you’ve enrolled in the loyalty programme, you’ll be emailed a variety of activities (e.g. sharing preferences and social media content) which you’ll then earn points from. These will automatically convert to Club points that will be added to your account. 10 Power Up Points = 1 Club point (terms and conditions apply).
