If you were home in your PJs on NYE while the rest of Australia counted down in 2023, you might think you’ve haven’t started the year on a high note. Fortunately, you haven’t missed the boat – or the cruise – as Royal Caribbean is giving you the chance to make every day as celebratory as NYE with their new trade loyalty reward program – Club Royal Rewards. We’ve got the skinny on how to sign up.
Forget having one day a year to celebrate being alive and thriving; have 365 of them! The only resolution you need this year is to get yourself signed up for Club Royal Rewards. With rewards far better than a sloppy kiss under the mistletoe, this is your chance to welcome in 2023 with a proper bang.
Club Royal Rewards is Royal Caribbean’s new trade loyalty program offering registered frontline agents cashback rewards for every new eligible booking secured with a deposit. Yes, actual cash is credited directly to your own virtual prepaid Visa card! And no, you don’t have to save up your cash before you can do anything with; spend it straight away on whatever tickles your fancy.
Get cash for doing what you do best
Every Royal Caribbean booking can earn you up to $25 (AUD) just for doing what you do best. And, get this,for any booking made between the 1st of January and 28th February, you can earn double cash back up to the value of $50 per eligible booking. Yay.
Let’s do the math.
That $10 reward you’d be netting for a lower interior/Oceanview cabin becomes $20. The $15 you’d score for a balcony booking becomes a doubly good $30 this month. And get a sweet suite $50 for every suite cabin you book by 31 January 2023.

Questions, questions
Whether you’re new to Club Royal Rewards or have already signed up, you may have some questions. We put ourselves in your shoes to ask the important stuff (because we’re good like that).
Here’s what you need to know:
Who can enter the Club Royal Rewards program?
Any 18+ Australian frontline agent who makes passenger bookings on behalf of Royal Caribbean.
Can independent agents enter and get Club Royal Rewards?
Oh yes, you sure can! Any frontline agent, be it independent or agency affiliated, is eligible to score juicy rewards on every Royal Caribbean booking. Hurrah!
Can I withdraw money from my virtual rewards card?
1) you still use cash? 2) nope, you cannot.
While you can’t swap your reward dollars for crinkly Australian notes, you can spend them just like you would with said crinkly Australian notes. Purchase at any retailer online or in-store like any other purchase. Too easy and 100% guaranteed germ free.
Can I link my virtual card to your digital wallet (like Apple Pay or Google Pay)?
100% yes!
Isn’t life great? Free money and an easy way to spend it. Link your virtual Visa card as you would a physical card and feel a little extra glee that Royal Caribbean has ensured you haven’t added any extra plastic to the planet.
Where can I spend my rewards?
Almost anywhere! Maybe not with that dodgy trader who sold you a ‘genuine’ LV bag on Facebook Marketplace. But every normal retailer who takes Visa will happily unburden you of your free cash. This excludes cash withdrawals at ATMs or spend at casinos
