Format: the wiggles cruise

Royal Caribbean’s Double Crown & Anchor Points promotion is back! Tonight Deb is flying solo for another Cruise & Travel Chat LIVE, while Matt works behind the scenes.

We’ll unpack how the double-points offer works, who can qualify, how solo cruisers may earn even more points and whether it is worth booking now to move closer to Diamond, Diamond Plus or Pinnacle status.
