RCI or RCCL?

[DM_KidAtHeart]

So I've seen Royal Caribbean designated on these boards as both RCI and RCCL (and a few other random designators as well). So what's right, or does it matter? I know the RCI stands for Royal Caribbean International. What's the CL for in RCCL. This is just a random question that has been bugging me.

Other way around:

RCI: Royal Caribbean International, the operator of the ships listed at royalcaribbean.com

RCCL: Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., the parent of RCI, Celebrity, Azamara, etc.

LIKE!!! Not the worst mistake one can make but it is confusing to the masses. This is a good clarification :D:D:D

 

Maybe this should be a sticky.

 

ps, the Title for this particular cruise line on CC should give it away ;)

Hi,

on this board people refer to RCI or RCCL many different ways even just as Royal .....

 

 

but :

Seems that some of the answers have been provied already, but none addresses the RCCL from the time when it was founded.

RCCL actually stands for two different companies , depending on the time frame.

 

Per my understanding it is like this:

In 1968 the company Royal Caribbean Cruise Line was founded - so here is the RCCL ........

and it stayed as Royal Caribbean Cruise Line untill 1997.

 

In 1997 after purchasing Celebrity Cruises the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line was re-branded

as Royal Caribbean International (RCI )

and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCCL) was established as the new parent company of both.

 

So there are two companies that are RCCL -

the first and original Royal Caribbean Cruise Line

and the later one Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd ( the parent company ).

 

The parent RCCL has more brands as mentioned above.
