Using Captain's Club for a Celebrity Cruises upgrade
Celebrity Cruises's loyalty program is Captain's Club. Depending on the route and offer, Celebrity Cruises upgrade bids can often be paid with points as well as cash — points are a payment method, not a separate product.
Cash or points
When you reach the bid step on Celebrity Cruises, you'll see whether your offer can be paid in Captain's Club points, cash, or a mix. The available options depend on the route, fare, and offer shown for your booking.
Earning on an upgraded cabin
Note that miles/points are usually earned based on your original fare class, not the upgraded cabin — check your program's specific rules.
