Disney Cruise Line Tip #1400 - Castaway Club Platinum Benefits


PassPorter Reader Mary K. recently sent us this write up of her recent experience as a Castaway Club Platinum Member:

I just sailed on a three night Bahamas cruise on the Disney Wonder. As a platinum guest, I wanted to share some of the perks that I received.

We checked in at concierge check in and were given boarding pass number one. As soon as suite guests boarded, we boarded. Also, lanyards are now color coded into silver, gold and platinum. Most guests on the ship appeared to be silver.

Upon arriving in our stateroom, we got the same gift as all levels of castaway club members, but the first evening, we received another platinum gift. It was a box of chocolates, leather travel document case, luggage strap and a list of a few other things:
A. A choice of either - a full tray of fruit, shrimp cocktail, cheese platter or sparkling wine. (We selected the wine as fruit and cheese trays are available from room service and shrimp is on lunch buffet. Wine was the best choice for us.)
B. A merchandise offer; if you spend $100 or more in one purchase at treasure ketch or mickeys mate, you get a $25 credit back.
C. An invitation for an inside look at the Castaway Cay animal program. We were instructed to meet Wilson, the animal program manager at 3:30 at the Stingray Hut. Upon arrival, there were only three sets of guests. Wilson talked about the animals and answered questions about Castaway Cay in general.
D. We also went to Palo and got our dinner service fee of $15 per person taken off of the bill. Although only one of us was a platinum guest, both fees were taken off the bill.
E. I booked another cruise while on board and also found out that platinum guests receive a larger onboard credit for booking on board. We booked an August 2011 cruise on the Dream and received a $200 onboard credit for a five night cruise!

It was great to finally be recognized like other cruise lines do for their guests!
