Royal Caribbean Announces Youth Crown and Anchor Program

_______________________________________________

Trying to capture more of the family vacation dollar and repeat cruisers, Royal Caribbean International is extending its loyalty program to its younger customers. Beginning fleet wide on May 19, all registered children ages 3-17 will receive Crown and Anchor Society benefits, including coupon books and discounts and free items onboard. More benefits may also be added in the future. The program structure for the youth program will be similar to the adult program (gold, platinum, diamond). At age 18, junior cruisers will have their Crown & Anchor account transferred to an adult account. To register your junior cruiser, go to the Crown and Anchor Society page at: www. Royalcaribbean.com. Registration begins March 24, 2007 with the program being introduced on May 19 to coincide with the launch of Liberty of the Seas.
