These benefits include members-only offers and discounts with entities such as MGM Rewards Destinations, 1-800-Flowers, and Harry and David (for Harry and David, simply use the promo code CAPTAINSCLUB). Members can also receive discounts through Celebrity Cruises Night Out for tickets to a wide variety of entertainment options in over 60 cities across the U.S.

The Best Captain’s Club Perks

The discounts on the beverage and Wifi packages are extremely helpful for those not sailing in The Retreat. The daily coffee lounge is also nice, as are the events and cocktail hours. And, of course, free or discounted laundry is always a wonderful perk.

One of my favorite perks of the Captain’s Club is a discount through a partnership with 1-800-Flowers.com using the promo code CAPTAINSCLUB. As a Captain’s Club member, you receive up to 20% off any purchase from 1-800-Flowers.com and its brands, including:

I use this discount every time I send a gift from Harry & David, as you can see below:
