- Accept the Terms and Conditions of the Rewards Program;
- At all times remain an employee or self-employed owner of an Approved Retail Travel Agency. For the avoidance of doubt, Celebrity Cruises shall have no liability to Registered Participants where, for whatever reason, an Approved Retail Travel Agency ceases to qualify as an Approved Travel Agency or the individual leaves the employ of an Approved Retail Travel Agency. In such circumstances RCL shall suspend such Participant’s account without liability to the Participant. RCL will however permit the Participant to utilise any points accrued up to that time in accordance with the terms of the Rewards Program for a period of six months;
- Be permitted to participate at all times in the Rewards Program by their employer Approved Retail Travel Agency. In the event that an Approved Retail Travel Agency advises Celebrity Cruises at any time that it does not agree to the participation of any Registered Participants in the Rewards Program that are employees of the Approved Retail Travel Agency, Celebrity Cruises shall suspend such Participant’s account without liability to the Participant.

- Be at least 18 years of age and resident in Australia or New Zealand at the time of registration.

Celebrity Rewards Trade Loyalty Program
- You must at all times be a Registered Participant to be eligible to earn rewards under the Program. You must be registered with Celebrity Rewards prior to making a booking in order to claim your booking(s) and to be awarded points.
- Participants will earn and receive reward points by selling Celebrity Cruises products and claiming their retail bookings through the Celebrity Rewards Website. Points value of any booking is based on the stateroom category booked. Details of point values can be found on the ‘Point Earning Cruises’ page on the Celebrity Rewards Website.
- Additional point earning activities including brand driven incentives and promotions may be run through the Rewards Program on a periodic basis and will be communicated to all Registered Participants via email. Additional point earning incentives will have their own Terms and Conditions and may have additional eligibility booking criteria. Bookings made on Interline rates are not eligible to claim through brand driven incentives and promotions. Full Terms and Conditions for incentives can be found on the ‘Promotions’ page on the Celebrity Rewards Website.
- Individual points awarded and/or the activities of Registered Participants may be subject to random audit procedures at the discretion of the Program Administrator during or subsequent to the completion of the Rewards Program. In the event of any suspected irregularities, misuse or fraud, Celebrity Cruises shall be entitled and, where verified, terminate a Registered Participant’s membership of this Rewards Program without any liability whatsoever.
- No pooling of points will be accepted and any Registered Participants who are found to be pooling points will have all Redeemable Points removed from their Account Balance and dissolved and their participation in the Celebrity Rewards Program will be immediately terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, Registered Participants can only register bookings they have taken personally.
- Points will not be awarded for charter or incentive group bookings, for travel agency rate bookings and non-revenue competition winner bookings, casino future cruise bookings, auctioned rate cruises or for complimentary stateroom bookings. Any ‘Cruise Later’ booking references created onboard our ships cannot be captured within the Celebrity Rewards reports and therefore these bookings are not eligible for any points. We do however offer points on ‘Cruise Now’ bookings made onboard and these should appear on the weekly bookings update under ‘My Bookings’. Onboard bookings must be booked under the correct agency reference at the time of the booking being made. If onboard bookings are made that are not tied to the correct agency reference and subsequently transferred, these bookings will not be captured on the Celebrity Rewards reports and are therefore not eligible for any points.
- Non-contracted Group bookings that have been named and deposited are eligible to earn Celebrity Rewards points. Group bookings will be uploaded to the Celebrity Rewards Website once a week and participants will have 60 days to claim the Group booking.
- Bookings data for the Registered Participant’s agency is uploaded onto the Celebrity Rewards website each day for the previous day of bookings made.
- It is the Participant’s responsibility to log on to the Celebrity Rewards Website to claim the bookings they have individually made in order for the associated reward points to be awarded to their Account Balances. Bookings must be claimed via the Celebrity Rewards Website within 60 days from the date that they were created. After 60 days, the bookings data will be removed and no longer able to be claimed.
- Registered Participants will automatically receive 100% of the points attributed to the booking, based on the point values by stateroom category booked into their Redeemable Points Balance once the booking has been claimed.
- If a Registered Participant claims a booking that they do not own in error, they must email the Celebrity Rewards Help Desk via Contact Us on the Celebrity Rewards Website with details of the booking, including booking reference number and date of booking, in order for the claim to be reversed. The Redeemable Points received for the booking claimed in error will immediately be deducted from the Registered Participants Redeemable Points balance.
- If a booking which a Registered Participant has claimed and earned Redeemable Points for subsequently cancels, the amount of points originally awarded for that booking will be deducted from the Participant’s Account Balance, even if the Redeemable Points have already been spent on rewards or that results in a negative balance. Participants can view bookings with a ‘Cancelled’ status at any time on their ‘Account Summary’ page on the Celebrity Rewards Website.
- Redeemable Points earned in the Rewards Program have a 2-year validity period, unless Celebrity Cruises terminates the Rewards Program or a Registered Participant has been inactive for 6 months or more. “Inactive“ for the purpose of this section means not having made a redemption, claimed a booking or completed the required e-learning modules.
- Any point discrepancies need to be directed to the Celebrity Rewards Help Desk via Contact Us on the Celebrity Rewards Website with the detail and nature of the discrepancy. Please allow 48 hours for the Help Desk to respond to or resolve a query.
- Points earned by a Registered Participant are individually owned by them. Earned points are points that have a ‘Redeemable’ status. Should a Registered Participant change employers but remain within an Approved Travel Agency, they will retain all their currently earned Redeemable Points within their Account Balance. Any sales that have not been claimed by the Participant by the last date of employment with their original employer, will be retained by the original travel agency with which the booking was made.
- To participate in the Rewards Program, all Registered Participants agree to accept the condition that points can only be awarded to the individual Registered Participant of an Approved Travel Agency who made the booking. In the event that it is established that a Registered Participant has claimed a booking that belongs to a different Registered Participant, Celebrity Cruises shall have the right to suspend or exclude the Registered Participant from the Rewards Program at its absolute discretion and/or the loss of any accrued points or benefits in their Account Balance.
Rewards
- All rewards are subject to availability and the Program Administrator and Celebrity Cruises do not guarantee or warrant in any way that the rewards offered under the Program will be available. In the event that an advertised reward is not available, a suitable substitute of equivalent function or value will be made.
