If made onboard, the membership request will be processed within 60 days after the end of the cruise.

3. The CostaClub Card - Membership Number - Length of Membership
3.1 Once membership has been confirmed, each Member will receive a Membership Number at the address indicated.  
3.2 The CostaClub Card (the “Card”) displaying the Membership Number will be issued to the new Member onboard the ship during the first cruise after registering for CostaClub. The Card is in the Member's name, is the property of Costa and has a magnetic strip. It may only be used by the Member as provided in these General Conditions. The Card also functions as a "credit card" for making purchases during the cruise, as an identification document (a boarding pass for entry and exit to the ship) and cabin key on most of the Costa ships.
3.3 CostaClub membership lasts for three years. Membership will automatically be renewed for another three years when another Costa cruise is booked, it being understood that Members have the right to discontinue their membership of the CostaClub Program at any time, in accordance with Article 7.11. If no booking is made for three years, all privileges are temporarily suspended until a subsequent booking is made or at the specific request of a Member, while the number of points collected by the Member remains unchanged.  

4. Accumulation of Points
4.1 The points constitute the basic unit of calculation used by Costa for the CostaClub.  An account, to which the points are credited, is linked to the Membership Number. The Membership Number must always be quoted when booking cruises in order to allow the crediting of the associated points and entitlement to the privileges reserved for Members.
Members that have taken a cruise after 15 May 2001 accumulate their points on the basis of the number of nights spent on the cruise onboard the Costa ships and total expenses onboard the Costa ships as indicated below:
• For every cruise night the Member will be credited with 100 points;
• For every US$60 spent onboard, excluding fractions of that amount, the Member will be credited with 40 points.
Members that have taken a cruise during the period from 1 January 1993 to 14 May 2001 which is present in the Costa database will be credited with 1,000 points, regardless of the length of the cruise or the amount spent onboard. If the cruise is not found in the Costa database, the Member must supply documentation proving that she/he took the cruise on the dates indicated.
4.2 Points will not be credited in any case (relative to the cruise nights) if the Member is traveling with a free ticket. Furthermore, points will not be credited to the Member if reasons independent of the will of the carrier or safety reasons have caused the cancellation of the cruises.
4.3 Only onboard purchases made by the Member with the Card supplied in the cabin and activated at the beginning of the cruise will be valid for the credit of points. Points will not be credited for onboard purchases charged to any other magnetic card or if made by a person sharing the same cabin.  Furthermore, points will not be credited for purchases in the casinos and during onboard auctions.
4.4 Points are automatically credited 30 days after the end of each cruise. Costa reserves the right to rectify the account of any Member of points accredited erroneously and to attribute credits in supplementary points on the occasion of specific promotional campaigns which the Member will be informed about in a timely manner. Furthermore, Costa reserves the right at any time to proceed with an audit of the total number of points accumulated by the Members. The information relative to the CostaClub account (statements, etc.) are issued as a purely indicative accounting and the statements cannot be reproduced or issued in duplicate copies.
4.5 Members who believe that they have the right to more points than those shown on their account statement should send copies of cruise tickets and receipts for payment of onboard expenses considered lacking to CostaClub. This is to allow for necessary controls and the calculation of the correct number of points to be credited to the Member. Requests for updating points may be made by sending your first and last name and Membership Number, along with the requested documentation to CostaClub by fax to 954-266-2100 or by mail to CostaClub at the address below.
4.6 Members may check their account statement at our website www.costacruises.com by registering in the reserved area or by calling 1-888-81-COSTA. 

5. Aquamarine Club, Coral Club, Pearl Club
There are three CostaClub categories defined according to the level of points:
Aquamarine Club: reserved for Members who have accumulated up to 2,000 points
Coral Club: reserved for Members who have accumulated from 2,001 to 5,000 points
Pearl Club: reserved for Members who have accumulated over 5,001 points
Upgrading to the next category occurs automatically upon reaching the above thresholds. Members will receive written notification of the upgrade.   

6. The Privileges reserved for CostaClub Members
6.1 Members have the right to a series of Privileges differentiated according to the category of membership. The privileges are classified as: a) Supplementary services or status benefits and discounts on purchases of good and services made onboard the ship and b) Discounts on the purchase of a Costa cruise.
6.2 Allocation of the Privileges is subject to the entry of each participating Member's Membership Number at the moment of holding or confirming cruise bookings. The order and days of allocation of the onboard Privileges may vary according to the duration of the cruise and the organization of the ship and may not be disputed by Members.
6.3 The list of supplementary services and discounts on onboard purchases are shown in the CostaClub guide and in the newsletters sent to Members.
Costa reserves the right to change the conditions for receiving Privileges and also the content of the Privileges themselves, provided that the rights already acquired by the Members are safeguarded and that the Members are informed beforehand.
6.4 The Privileges are divided into Personal Privileges and Cabin Privileges. The Personal Privileges are reserved for the Member as an individual person. The Cabin Privileges presume the division of the privileges among all the occupants of the same cabin. The presence of several Members in the same cabin does not give the right to multiple or cumulative distribution of Cabin Privileges.
6.5 The privileges of "Privilege Embarkation" and "Privilege Disembarkation" may be changed or suspended for operational reasons at any time. These services refer exclusively to the embarkation at the beginning of the cruise and the disembarkation that precedes the end of the cruise. Members of the Coral and Pearl categories who wish to use the "Privilege Embarkation" service will be given an embarkation number upon presentation of one of the following documents to the Customer Service desk: CostaClub Card; page of cruise ticket bearing Membership Number and category of CostaClub membership; or CostaClub welcome letter bearing Membership Number and category of membership. Members of the Pearl category who wish to use the “Privilege Disembarkation” service will be put in the first groups for disembarkation, operational situation of the individual stops permitting. The onboard information office may consider possible special requests if they are made in good time and not later than the day prior to the end of the cruise. The order of embarkation or disembarkation may vary from cruise to cruise depending on the harbors of embarkation, the departure or arrival schedule forecast for the ship, and applicable security regulations and shall not be disputed by Members.
6.6 CostaClub discounts on onboard purchases are recognized at the moment the purchase is registered using the Card.  No discounts on onboard purchases may be used in conjunction with other promotions.  The discount on the cruise video and on the purchase of Costa books is not applicable for multiple purchases of the same product. The discount on the selected beauty treatments for face and body is available when the wellness centers are open when the ship is in port. The invitation to the complimentary dinner in the CostaClub Restaurants (where available) is reserved for Pearl Members and one cabin companion (whether or not a Pearl member) and does not include the cost of drinks.
6.7 CostaClub discount on the purchase of a cruise will be recognized directly by the travel agency at the time of holding or confirming a booking. The Member’s Membership Number must be entered at the time of booking to obtain the discount and it is not possible to obtain the discount after booking. Commercial discounts will be applied only on the condition that the Member actually goes on the cruise, even if the Member is not present at the moment of booking.
6.8 The CostaClub discount applies to the total cost of the cabin only, and is not applicable to the cost of flights, transfers, port taxes and land accommodation where applicable.
6.9 The combinability of the CostaClub discount on the purchase of a cruise with other promotions must always be checked. Members are asked to check directly with Costa by calling 1-888-81-COSTA or with their travel agent. The CostaClub discount is subject to cabin availability for each cruise.
