Is the minimum number of shares needed 100? Pardon my ignorance, but what is the easiest and most cost effective way to purchase them? If I buy them now, can I use the credit on a cruise next summer? How much is the credit. Thanks for your help!

Yes if you buy the shares now you can use them on upcoming cruises. I have my benefits forms submitted for my next 3 cruises. I am not sure about a 7 day. But we get 200 credit per stateroom for our 11 night Galaxy and 250 per stateroom for each or our 14 night cruises on Summit. There was some earlier misinformation that the benefit had been discontinued, however that is incorrect.

 

For further info email ShareholderBenefit@rccl.com

Thanks for the link. However, the terms state the shares had to be owned by April 15, 2005. Is this date new or do they always change the date on a yearly basis? Also, it says only one credit per sailing even though it says per stateroom. I realize if I had 200 shares I would only get $100 for a 7 night. Does that also mean if I book two cabins I only get $100 for a seven night or can I get $200?

After you have faxed or mailed in your documentation of ownership, you will probably need to call RCL ( the stock symbol for Royal Caribbean Lines ) and make sure the credit has been put on your account. They do not send letters saying that the credit was applied in my experience. ( neither will Carnival/Princess. ) If you have booked thru RCL, you may get this info online. But if you booked thru a TA, they can call for you since the info will not be online. Just a suggestion so you know the credit was accepted.

I bought only 100 shares and after already booking two cabins. After requesting the $100 credit, RCCL nicely (or mistakenly) credited BOTH of my cabins with $100 each! That combined with $325 appreciation in the shares made this a GREAT DEAL! :D

My shares are in my IRA. All you need to provide RCL is either a copy of your statement showing the shares or a copy of your shareholder proxy. We have used the shareholder credit 5 times. Also, We have found the best way to send the info to RCL is via email, they always send back a confirming email within a day or two.

Yesterday when stock went down I bought 100 shares. I am booked on Majesty August 29th for 4 nite cruise and am hoping all goes through by then. I am also booked on Brillance on December 12 sailing and should receive $200 shipboard credit. What is this benefit form someone mentioned? I thought I could just fax info to rcl.

All information about what you need to know and do is here:

You can fax your information although I have best experience with emailing them as I always got confirmation when having emailed them.

I copy the page from my online broker showing I own 100 shares for every sailing I am doing thru May 2006. Tensi sends me an email that I am getting $250 on 11/20/05 Transcanal 14 nts & $100 credit for my 5/20/06 Alaska 7 nt. I put these emails in my cruising folder just in case they don't show by day 3 (which is normal)
