Uplift to pay to RC Cruise?

[SouthernAccent]

I had seen at some point there was uplift offered to pay for RC cruises and the rate was better than my CC. When I go to the RC site I can never get that option to pay that way now? Does anyone know?

You have to receive an email to be invited to the RoyalUp program:

I believe that is something else. Uplift is a financing company that does travel finance and it says Royal is available to use with them and that it should give you the option to pay using it at check out but never does.

You're correct, that's not RoyalUP.  Sorry for the confusion.

I've only seen the financing option come up once while checking bookings and I believe it was back in October when RCI was first partnering with Uplift (a 3rd party vendor).  It was shown first on the "Select Your Room Type" page as an option.

Yeah I have seen it maybe 2 times ever. I contacted Uplift and they say that they are still partners with them but it never comes up as an option. It does however come up on certain TA as an option with the cruiselines, so I dunno.
