ND Cruisers too Posted September 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2013 It seems that each time our group of friends spend an evening together another one of the couples decides to join us on our upcoming cruise. Now I know that $25 is not a lot but....on the Crown and Anchor website it talks about bringing friends along and a $25 referral bonus....but each time I click on the link it says that page is no longer available. Has anyone had any experience with the referral bonus? How does it work? Is it still offered? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She then takes care of it. I then ask for a new booking confirmation so I can have documentation of that $25 OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works for me: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/BringaFriend I have to log in to my "My Cruises" account, and then I see the page to enter the referral info.

S&Jboat Posted September 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I clicked on the referral link and entered the required information and then got a message that they couldnt process this and that I should call RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dep Posted September 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The friends that you're bringing along ,This cruise must be their FIRST cruise on Royal Caribbean, in order for you to receive the $25 OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsdoc3 Posted September 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I took a friend on a Royal cruise last November. I had used a C&A certificate, and I was not allowed the $25 OBC for the referal. I think it is also not combinable with stockholder credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighairtexan Posted September 17, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I am having the exact same issue. I put together a group of 6 of us. I'm the only one who has cruised on Royal. I've tried many times over the past 3 months and always get the same issue. I have their names, b/dates, reservation numbers. Everything but weight and social security number and I can't get the site to accept the information. Thanks for the reminder. I need to call this in.

I think it is also not combinable with stockholder credit. Me as well, I tried to turn in one of those "bring a friend" and since I had a "Next Booking and a saving cert" NO OBC for 25.00, not combinable :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomarfan5 Posted September 17, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2013 When I was trying to enter information for referrals for our next cruise, the system wouldn't accept one of them for some reason so I just called and it was taken care of. Just know that you won't see the money until you are on the ship as an onboard credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdmullins Posted September 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I was unable to get it because I booked during a WOW sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted September 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I could not enter mine for our cruise last March but one call to RCI and it was taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamFritz Posted September 18, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The bring a friend bonuses have combinable in the past. We received $75 for three families who came with us on allure last month. We had booked that cruise while on board Freedom for a $100 obc and used the balcony discount for $225.

HazyDavey Posted September 18, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 18, 2013 They told me I couldn't get the referral OBC because I was breathing.:p After reading the above, that's the impression I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaDeb Posted September 18, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I phoned RCCL and they told me you had to have completed check in before completing the 'bring a friend' portion. I was able to complete it and got a message back that I would receive an email in the weeks prior to my cruise when it was processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureencruiser Posted September 18, 2013 #16 Share Posted September 18, 2013 You can also get it if the Newbie is in your cabin. I just got it on the Enchantment a few weeks ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblock Posted September 19, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've gotten it once. I couldn't get it for bringing along my underage nieces because it's only for adults. And I couldn't get it for bringing my mom because I had made the initial reservation before the promotion started. But I am eligible for the friends I'm bringing on the cruise I'm taking next year.

cruisenfever Posted September 19, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Me as well, I tried to turn in one of those "bring a friend" and since I had a "Next Booking and a saving cert" NO OBC for 25.00, not combinable :( I think you should try again. You can definitely combine the Bring a Friend with a NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_mac Posted September 19, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I was given the Bring-A-Friend OBC in January. I used a NCC and Royal applied the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammyandpoppy Posted September 19, 2013 #20 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've tried numerous times with no success. First timer joining us. Why does one have to jump through hoops for an OBC of $25? Ticks me off. End of rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
