Shareholder OBC


Recommended Posts

Takes less time to email your brokerage statement to RCL Shareholder Benefits than it does to read these boards and figure out what RCL calls "combinable" - and it is the only way you will ever know for sure - nobody on these boards can give you the OBC or deny it either.

After being a member of Crown & Anchor since 1997 and being a shareholder since 2004, I respectfully disagree with your statement above. Most of us that have been Shareholders certainly do know what you can and can not combine.

 

But just as an FYI........All you have to do is go to the RCI homepage and on the bottom click on Investor Relations and then click on Shareholder Benefit and there is no need for an email because what I have highlighted in red below is exactly the response sent from Investor Relations.

 

1. Who is eligible for this benefit?

Any shareholder holding a minimum of 100 RCL shares at time of sailing.

 

2. What is the benefit?

$250 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 14 or more nights.

$200 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 10 to 13 nights.

$100 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 6 to 9 nights.

$50 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 5 nights or less.

Applicable on any Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises or Azamara Club Cruises sailings. (excludes any charter sailings or Celebrity Xpeditions sailings)

 

3. How do I redeem this benefit?

Provide your name, address, confirmation number, ship and sailing date along with a copy of your shareholder proxy card or a current brokerage statement showing proof of share ownership in Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. All shareholder onboard credit requests must be received approximately 2 -3 weeks prior to sail date. Via Mail: RCL Investor Benefit, PO Box 025511, Miami, Florida 33102-5511 Via Fax: 1-305-373-6699 Via Email: shareholderbenefit@rccl.com

4. I am sailing with my family and some friends. Can they redeem the benefit too?

The benefit is only available for the stateroom in which the shareholder (with a minimum of 100 shares) is sailing. Onboard credit is applied on a per stateroom basis, double occupancy. Only one shareholder credit per stateroom on any one sailing. If shares are held jointly, 100 shares are required for each onboard credit request on any one sailing.

 

5. Can I use the benefit each time I sail?

Yes, you may request this benefit multiple times-as often as you sail on Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises or Azamara Club Cruises. (excludes any charter sailings or Celebrity Xpeditions sailings)

 

6. Can this benefit be combined with other offers, onboard credits and coupons?

The benefit is NOT available to company employees, travel agents, tour conductors and/or others utilizing complimentary or reduced-rate cruise fares. Benefit is not combinable when using inter-line rates or onboard chartered sailings.

 

7. Is benefit transferrable?

No. Benefit is non-transferable. Only the stateroom that the shareholder is traveling in will be eligible for the onboard credit.

 

8. Are there any restrictions?

Benefit is non-transferable and not available to employees, agents of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. or its subsidiaries and affiliates, travel agents and tour operators. Benefit is not combinable with other onboard credit offers, general loyalty offers, “dollars off/wave” promotions, savings certificates, onboard chartered sailings, certain group sailings, certain price programs or bookings made at a reduced rate or travel agent rate. Shareholders have the option to choose between the shareholder benefit or the other offer. The Shareholder must own the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. stock at time of sailing. Onboard credit is calculated in US dollars except on sailings where the onboard currency used is a foreign currency (in which case the onboard credit will be converted at a currency exchange rate determined by the cruise line) and is not redeemable for cash. Certificate value credited to onboard account at time of sailing. Any unused credit shall be forfeited. Credit is applied on a per stateroom basis; double occupancy. Single guests paying 200% of applicable fare shall receive full value of certificate. Only one shareholder credit per stateroom. Only one credit per shareholder on any one sailing. If you are requesting shareholder onboard credit for two or more separate cabins and shares are held jointly, a minimum of 100 shares per cabin booked must be held. Other terms and conditions may apply.

 

9. Combinability?

Please note that as of December 31, 2008, the shareholder benefit offer is not combinable with other onboard credit offers, general loyalty offers, upgrade offers, chartered sailings, certain group sailings, "dollars off/wave" promotional offers, certain price programs, reservations made on a reduced rate/travel agent rate/inter-line rate and savings certificates. For bookings made prior to December 31, 2008, the Shareholder Onboard Credit is combinable under certain conditions. Please direct queries to investorrelations@rccl.comand a prompt response will be forthcoming.
