wolfcathorse Posted March 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Wow good thing I put my request in before then. I think I submitted it on the 26th. Of course RCI hasn't made this known...just a quiet cut back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkySailing Posted March 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Wow! I'm glad I too just got mine in. It's only $25 but that will get you a drink by the pool now, right ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2018 As of February 28, 2018. Old requests will be honored but no more going forward. Thanks for the update. That program must have been a huge drain on the bottom line.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icsys Posted March 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The rules on that program originally said: To reward our Crown & Anchor members, from 21 January 2011 to 30 April 2011 we will show our appreciation when you bring your friend or family member along on the same sailing as you to experience their first Royal Caribbean International cruise holiday. You will receive an onboard credit of USD 25 to spend on board (one credit per stateroom) So cancelling appears to have been seven years overdue. Yes, the $25 must really have been draining the bottom line for the shareholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSkySailing Posted March 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2018 FYI- I know the Royal website IT dept. isn't the best. But I just checked my 12-18 Enchantment reservation. I still have the tab- Bring a Friend. Maybe if you still have the tab- you can still use that $25 OBC for a drink at the pool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcatmcat Posted March 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I no longer can find anyone to add lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT GIRL Posted March 4, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The tab is still there for me but when I enter the information I get a message that the reservation information is not correct. That stinks because I had about 10 new people coming on my upcoming cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missusdubbya Posted March 4, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2018 What a shame, I quite liked that program. It is sneaky to remove it without promoting the change Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops Posted March 4, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 4, 2018 If you are in a group booking they won't honor it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiGal117 Posted March 4, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 4, 2018 That’s too bad- I had added our friends for our upcoming cruise but when I put in my brother’s reservation it wouldn’t let me (he booked on the UK site). I had planned to call - too late now I guess🤨 Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squadron Posted March 4, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks for the update. That program must have been a huge drain on the bottom line.:rolleyes: Love your humor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT GIRL Posted March 4, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 4, 2018 If you are in a group booking they won't honor it. Thanks, that could be what is happening in my particular case. I'll have to see who I can add that isn't part of the group booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 4, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks, that could be what is happening in my particular case. I'll have to see who I can add that isn't part of the group booking. When we added someone from a group booking, the system accepted it, and then weeks later the status showed "denied". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirap Posted March 4, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I just called and the supervisor was able to set us up for the bring a friend. They said they just reinstated it this morning. Good luck all. Edit: The first customer rep said she had no way of adding them. Ask for a supervisor. Edited March 4, 2018 by Sirap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted March 4, 2018 #18 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I just called and the supervisor was able to set us up for the bring a friend. They said they just reinstated it this morning. Good luck all. Cancelled on Feb 28 and reinstated on March 4. There have been much bigger gripes aired on CC that didn't get results that fast.:eek::eek::D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoope Posted March 12, 2018 Author #19 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just called in today and was told that’s it’s still cancelled. This was after speaking to a supervisor. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzafit Posted March 12, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I put my request in last August for my upcoming April cruise. So, that SHOULD mean that it would be honored since my request was put in before. I checked on Wed. the request was still there with "pending" as it has been. So Thursday there's a new website. On the old website the "bring a friend" tab has disappeared. So I called Royal Caribbean and guess what.....they have no record of it and they can't make new requests. I asked if I could send them an email with the screen shot that showed I had requests in in pending form. Sure, I could, but it won't change anything, is what I was told.
