traderneal Posted February 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I just learned about this and confirmed it with RCL. If you own at 100 shares of Royal Carribean stock you can save the following in the form of an onboard credit: $250 for sailings of 14 or more nights $200 for salings of 9 to 13 nights $100 for sailings of 6 to 8 nights $50 for sailings of 5 nights or less You need to send a photocopy of your share certificate or current brokerage statement You name Home address, telephone number and email address Ship and sailing date Confirmation number Captain's Club or Crown and Anchor number (if any) You can fax to 305-539-4645 I think this is a great deal. I am still looking for a friends certifcate and would grateful if anyone could help out. thx Neal nealg58417@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnsunshine Posted February 10, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I just purchased my 100. I faxed in the needed paper workjust this week. Have not heard anything back from RCCL so I hope they got it all ok. I will follow up with an E-mail in a few weeks to confirm all is good. We sail March 18th on the Serenade and will take copies of my documentation to show if needed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMUNK Posted February 10, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2006 You probabl WILL NOT hear back, so give RCI a call, or if you went through a TA have them call. They can get confirmation that your credit has been processed. It takes a few weeks after you fax in the info. Tis a nice little benefit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montekat Posted February 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I faxed mine in about a week ago for our Sept. cruise. That $200 will be a very nice bonus. I made copies of my fax and the confirmation that the fax was sent to the phone number listed and will take this with me on the cruise. However, thanks for the idea to call the TA in the meantime to see if they can confirm the credit was made. Between that, the credit for the booking from our TA and the credit from the MBNA card, I should have over $800 onboard money. Nice little chunk of change!!

TxKroozer Posted February 10, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Not anything new here, but glad you found out. We have used this credit for four cruises taken so far and have two more credits applied for and awaiting our use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyNL Posted February 10, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Have no idea how our stock "has done" over the many years we've owned the 100 shares; however, I do know all the onboard credits have meant some very nice massages :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booze brothers Posted February 10, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2006 What's RCCL stock going for now? When is the best time to buy? Thanks, we don't really know anything about stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain bob Posted February 11, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2006 The best time to buy was 9/12/01 $9 a share!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandel Posted February 11, 2006 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I usuallly fax my information in and a couple of days later I will email them to see if they received my fax. I usually receive an email from them within 24 hours. I take this email with me when I board the ship. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneergirl Posted February 11, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 11, 2006 We usually fax the stock info and then I call the C & A phone number and make sure they have the credit on our account. We have never had a problem. I have to say thank you to this cruise critic board because without you all, I never would have known about the on board credit stockholders receive! Thanks!!!!!!!

skandls Posted February 11, 2006 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Does this apply to Celebrity too? That would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTopMom Posted February 11, 2006 #13 Share Posted February 11, 2006 The RCL shaeholder benefit is good on both RCL and Celebrity lines. You must own at least 100 shares. You can get the onboard credit as often as you cruise either line. Once you have faxed the required information, you can email shareholderbenefit@rccl.com and provide your booking number, name of ship and sailing date; ask if they have received your fax and you will get a reply within 48 hours. Plus, don't forget they are paying a 15 cents per share quarterly dividend also.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madforcruising Posted February 11, 2006 #14 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Same here, I own the stock for some years now too and took some great benefit out of the shareholder benefit. Also did a litle sailing and buying of shares to maximize the benefit. And with this having said a word of warning to all that are unfamiliar with the stock market. Be careful, by investing in stocks you can not only win money but you can as easy loose your money. In my eyes buying stocks just for the shareholder benefit is not a good idea. As of Fridays closure it would be an investment of 4434 USD for a let´s say 200 USD onboard credit. Not too bad, especially if you plan to use it multiple times and have more than one cruises scheduled. But RCL has ups and downs and as I own them I monitor them on a daily basis. They go up or down 1 or 2 Dollars per share easily within a weeks range. So with a 2 Dollar drop in price your 200 USD onboard credit would be equal already. So I don´t say it´s a bad investment but please inform yourself before investing about the stock market (if you hve no idea how it works) and about the company you are investing in especially. And don´t do this on a message board like this but use a little more reliable sources;) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFT_LOVER Posted February 11, 2006 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2006 just in case they didn't get your fax! I scan & email everything to Tensi, who for years has emailed me back within an hour that I got the onboard credit & the amount. Very easy to save the file from your broker's web site & attach to the email with the info on your cruise. I than print it out & it goes in my folder as proof since I have had times when no credit showed on day #3. I just purchased my 100. I faxed in the needed paper workjust this week. Have not heard anything back from RCCL so I hope they got it all ok. I will follow up with an E-mail in a few weeks to confirm all is good. We sail March 18th on the Serenade and will take copies of my documentation to show if needed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFT_LOVER Posted February 11, 2006 #16 Share Posted February 11, 2006 as I tell folks, with over 10 cruises RCCL/Celebrity, we have made our money for buying the stock with the onboard credits we get (since we do 2 week cruises) so now it is FREE dividends as we call it, since the $15 up from $13 per quarter is no big deal. We usually fax the stock info and then I call the C & A phone number and make sure they have the credit on our account. We have never had a problem. I have to say thank you to this cruise critic board because without you all, I never would have known about the on board credit stockholders receive! Thanks!!!!!!!
