Castaway Club Member??

[CruisinPetey]

Hello,
I was wondering if second time cruisers automatically become Castaway Club Members?? Also, do second time cruisers get any perks on the ship for being second timers? Just wondering...thanks!

Petey!

Yes, as a repeat cruiser, you are automatically enrolled in Castaway Club...

As a CC member, you will receive a nice beach towel and pin on your next cruise...also, you are invited to a Castaway Club cocktail hour with the captain....

I knew we'd be invited to the party, but I didn't know about the beach towel. Wow!

Here is a pic of what the CC return cruisers towel looks like:

The towel is the current gift, but that can change. I think some people have gotten photo frames and beach bags in the past. You will also get a Castaway Club pin.

There's also a priority check-in line at the terminal for Castaway Club Members.

How long after your cruise do you get your CC club member info? We have been home a week and are already looking into another cruise for next summer. Yes, I am addicted now. I want to go back tomorrow. LOL
I did see on the DCL website a link for info and specials for CC members, but I don't have a membership number yet. Or do I have to cruise more then once with them to qualify as a member?

It usually takes 1 to 2 months after your first cruise to get your cc number. you and call DCL and they can give it to you.

This is too funny! I actually came to the Board this morning to post a question about when I would get my Castaway Club member info! I cruised a month ago and I'm already itchin' to plan another one! It's nice to know I'm not alone

 

[Bethipooh4]

No you're not alone. I have been checking prices and dates since we got home a week ago. If we could go again this summer we would. Even my DD who didn't go with us wants to go this time.

When the CC club came into existence back when DCL started...it was tauted as a club that gives great discounts to past cruisers, special insider information and special perks, etc....well, yes, it does give you the nice cocktail party onboard and the free gift but out of 10 DCL cruises I have never really gotten and discount for being a CC member or received any special offers in the mail.

You would think that CC members would receive some advance notice of the new cruise itineraries. The special check in line is really silly because now there are so many return cruisers that the lines can be as long as the regular lines at the terminal.

They should also have some sort of frequent cruiser program as other cruise lines do with some better incentives to keep cruising DCL.

Don't get me wrong...I am very grateful of what they do provide but feel it is not up to par with other cruise lines.
