Princess Cruises recently announced it will extend the Captain’s Circle loyalty program benefits to cruisers of all ages. Now youth guests with Elite status will enjoy amenities such as free WiFi, priority embarkation and complimentary laundry service.

To earn Princess Cruises Captain’s Circle Elite status, a passenger must cruise either more than 151 days, or more than 15 cruises. Other amenities passengers enjoy with Elite status include exclusive windows to preview and book new itineraries; shoe polishing service; professional cleaning services; complimentary minibar set up; deluxe canapés selection; afternoon tea; upgraded bathroom amenities; complimentary wine tastings; and member recognition pins to wear while aboard your cruise to show off your status.

In celebration of the announcement, Princess Cruises also recognized its most well-traveled youth guests — a 15-year-old with 538 days at sea with the cruise line and a 9-year-old with 46 cruises under his belt.

“We know travel enriches our guests by inspiring them to connect with new people in far off destinations while immersing themselves in new cultures,” said Jan Swartz, president, Princess Cruises. “By extending the benefits of our Captain’s Circle Loyalty Program to our youth guests, they will remain more connected than ever to their friends and family and continue to share their joy of cruising with the world.”

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
