Calculate The Dollar Value of MyCruise Rewards Points

Stateroom Upgrades

MyCruise Rewards Points can be used for stateroom upgrades on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruises for a value of 1 to 2 cents per point. Upgrades will vary and each redemption will allow an upgrade up to a certain cash value. This is one of the better options for cashing in your MyCruise Points. The table below lists a summary of the available redemptions.

The best value for stateroom upgrades are offered at 15,000 and 25,000 Points for upgrades on the 4-8 night Royal Caribbean cruises and at 75,000 Points for an upgrade on a 7-night Royal Caribbean Alaska cruise. If you plan on using your points for an upgrade, you'll want to aim for those specific redemptions and get as close to the max USD value allowed for each.

When it comes to redeeming points, you'll want to aim for the higher prices to get the most value from your points.

Cruise Vacations

MyCruise Rewards Points can be redeemed for cruise vacations at a value of 1 to 2 cents per point. These type of redemptions include companion fare as well as full cruise vacations. Both redemption options under this category are the best and easiest way to redeem MyCruise Points for a superb value of up to 2 cents each.

Companion Fares

Redeeming your MyCruise Rewards Points for a companion fare will allow a friend to travel up to the specified USD value of the redemption. The table below lists a summary of available redemptions for Companion Fares.

The best values for companion fare redemptions will come from the two lowest redemptions which are the 25,000 Point and 75,000 Point redemptions. You'll be able to get as much as a 2 cent per point redemption out of these options.

Cruise Vacation Fares

MyCruise Rewards Points can be redeemed towards the fare of a cruise vacation. This will give you value of 1 to 2 cents per point. This is the most straightforward redemption as you'll end up using your points to basically wipe out the cost of the cruise. The table below lists a summary of available redemptions for Cruise Vacation Fares.

There are several solid redemption options when it comes to paying for your vacation fare. You can earn a value of 2 cents each at the 50,000-, 125,000-, and 350,000-point options. These are what you should strive for if you're trying to maximize your MyCruise Rewards Points.

Merchandise

MyCruise Rewards Points can be redeemed for Royal Caribbean branded merchandise when traveling on Royal Caribbean ships at a value of 1 cent per point. For the cost of 10,000 MyCruise Points, you can order either the Royal Packet or Royal Wear. The Royal Packet comes with 2 Royal Caribbean towels, towel clips, and beach bags while the Royal Wear comes with 2 Royal Caribbean polo shirts and baseball caps. These items are labeled as a value of $100 USD when bundled, but they tend to go slightly over that when purchased separately, so this is a solid option for anyone that wants to be decked out in Royal Caribbean wear.

Royal Caribbean wear can be expensive, so using points can be a good way to avoid paying out of pocket.

Cruise Discounts

Redeeming your MyCruise Rewards Points for cruise discounts will give you a value of 1 cent per point. This redemption will basically discount any Royal Caribbean or Celebrity cruise by a set amount. While it is an easy and straightforward redemption, it's not going to give you the best value for your points. The table below lists a summary of available redemptions for cruise discounts.

Onboard Credits/Amenities

You can redeem your MyCruise Rewards Points for onboard credits and amenities when cruising Royal Caribbean, Azamara, and Celebrity Cruises. This includes spa, shore excursions, gift shop, bar, and other onboard purchases. All of these type of redemptions will give your MyCruise Points a value of 1 cent each. There is one redemption under this category which will give you a value of 2 cents per point and that's the redemption for two Royal Caribbean robes. The table below lists a summary of available redemptions for onboard credits and amenities.

Charitable Donations

MyCruise Rewards Points can be put towards Charitable Donations. Every 1,000 MyCruise Points will be a $10 donation to World Wildlife Fund's global ocean conservation mission. This is the lowest redemption option available. If you're trying to clear out your MyCruise Rewards Points, this is the only option you'll have outside of building up enough points for a 5,000-point redemption.
