One of the great perks of Elite status is gaining access to the Captain's Club Coffee Lounge, where you can enjoy a coffeehouse-style breakfast each morning. This is a particularly big deal on shore excursion days, as it means you have a relatively quiet and uncrowded place to grab a quick breakfast before heading out for a tour.
Elites also get unlimited free drinks from the Captain's Club menu each day, excluding embarkation day, between 5 and 7 p.m. at most bars and lounges on the ship. All you have to do is present your Sea Pass card. As noted above, this isn't quite the perk it used to be since a basic drinks package is included with many bookings now as part of the line's relatively new Always Included fare tier.
If you're sailing on a Solstice Class or Millennium Class vessel, reaching the Elite tier will get you free access to the Persian Garden spa zones — home to steam rooms, saunas and heated loungers — on one port day of your choice.
Elite level also brings:
- Priority tender service, where available
- Access to a private lounge on departure day serving continental breakfast
- An invitation to a senior officer party
- An invitation to a Music & Mixology event
- A 20% discount on a bottle of wine
- A 30% discount on Wi-Fi packages and upgrades, plus 90 complimentary stream minutes
- A 15% discount on drinks packages
- A 40% discount on a digital or print photo package
- A 20% discount on The Studio photo packages
- One complimentary dry clean item
- One standard bag of complimentary laundry (wash, dry & fold)
- A 15% discount at the ship's spa
