C&A 'Bring a Friend' OBC?

[Mr Princess]

I've booked an RCL cruise this Xmas, travelling with my family, who have never sailed on RCL before, in 3 other cabins.

I applied for the Crown & Anchor 'Bring a Friend' on-board credits ($25/cabin), and have been advised on the RCL web site that the status of the request is pending.

I'm concerned that, as I will be getting a separate OBC with my cruise booking, that that may negate any 'Bring a Friend' OBC.

Has anyone had their BaF benefit denied because they had another OBC?

Thanks for any advice,

MP.

No, you should get the credit.

Call them up. You are allowed as many CABINS as long as at least 1 person in cabin is over 18. So if you have 4 cabins with new cruisers and one is over 18. You will get $100obc. When I did it. The website never updated. But each time I called I checked to make sure the OBC was still there. Hope this help! Happy Sailing!!!!!

I believe it's up to 5 cabins.

I did it for my last cruise it did take some time to get applied...but it def. did before cruise!

I had mine declined because my friend booked a special rate. I'm not sure what caused the declined..buy one get one half off or the rate from the TA.

I had OBC from my cruise booking on my last cruise and had no problem also getting a "Bring a friend" credit for referring my sister.

Mine was "pending" for quite a while. I assumed that it was on hold until closer to the sail date. If it is not declined, it should eventually show up.

I submitted one for our January cruise a while back, it still shows "pending". If it hasn't changed to approved in a couple of weeks, I will call C&A and see what the hold up is... Anyone else with experience ??? :D:D

We got ours approved a couple of weeks before the cruise. One reason they may reject it is if you are part of a group booking.

Clarea, We aren't part of a group, so maybe it will be approved soon... Thanks for the info! Always appreciate your feedback... Look forward to the day we have as many days at sea as you guys!! Thanks again!

I never saw mine as approved. It just said pending and was then when I got onboard. I was told it's because they won't apply until your onboard to make sure they actually travel.

[redlobster]

it takes a long long time as others have said

[dani negreanu]

It was "pending" until we boarded....

 

BUT, 2 weeks before boarding, I've emailed C&A, they replied that's "approved", so I've kept their mail, just in case :D

 

On the 2nd day of the cruise, it showed, along with my other 200 OBC.

 

BTW, when I applied, they said it will be approved between 2 to 4 weeks before sailing, NOT BEFORE.:)

Where does it show 'pending'?

I submitted one in September and have heard nothing :/

[dani negreanu]

In your C&A account, "bring a friend promotion"

I've put in for Bring a Friend on three different cruises and have NEVER received the OBC for any of the reservations. Most recent was a cruise on October 4. When I called to ask why I didn't receive it, I was told that because I received OBC with my initial reservation as part of a promotion, that makes the Bring A Friend OBC, void. Seems silly that they even offer it when they apparently give every reason not to have to honor the promotion.

You may be in a group price and don't know. My March cruise was booked onboard, but assigned to my TA, and they put it in a group.

Thank you to everyone for taking the time & effort to reply. It's most appreciated.

I guess I'll just wait and see what happens!

Thank you all again.

I did that in May. It didn't change to "Approved" until around 10 - 20 days before departure.

 

Credit was applied to my Onboard Account by Day 2

 

Don't worry, it will get approved in time :)
