Royal Caribbean gift certificates

[lephysteria]

Hi,

 

Has anyone here either bought or received an RCCL gift certificate? I am looking into giving one as gifts this year for Christmas (anything to avoid the mall), and was hoping to get a little insight as to how easy they are to get and redeem.

 

Thanks :D

My daughter gave one to my son for his b'day. It came in a very nice little folder. He had to call to activate it before the cruise - I think 3 or 4 days before - very easy - no problems - credit was on his sea pass the first day. Great idea - would love to have one myself!

I bought one for a girlfriend in August using the online system. I was able to print a nice certificate and gave it to her in a bon voyage card. She had to call at least 4 days in advance to activate it, but that was super easy.

I just received the certificate in the mail today that we purchased for my DH's Brother and Sister in law. I purchased online and could have had it mailed directly to them. We are giving one to his Sister and Brother in law also...they are sailing with us on our next adventure. I can't think of a better gift!

Thank you all sooooo much! I will do anything to avoid the mall after making friends on Black Friday. (I was shopping for a new Christmas Tree)

 

These gift certificates seemed like the perfect gift, especially since you don't have to go to the mall for it! :)

Does anyone know if I purchased gift certificates for my kids for Christmas could I have them put on their individual seapass cards?

I searched for this, but only found other gift certificate threads, so I'm just adding to this one.

 

I received a GC as a Hanukah gift and just went on-line to apply it to my cruise for OBC (cruise isn't until February). Now, I'm in my on-line account and don't know where to look to make sure it has been applied.

 

I also purchased and applied GCs to my parents and brother's account (I bought them GCs also -- very popular gift this year!). I want to make sure they are all set too.

 

So, for my account, I am currently in my "booking dashboard." Where can I see if my OBC is applied correctly?

Anyone know the answer to this?

Do the certificates have an expiration date?

I've bought these for myself and given them as gifts. I've never seen them on my online profile, but I just call the Crown & Anchor # and ask them to pull up my reservation and let me know if the OBC is listed. It's always been there.
