FYI You only receive OBC on any overage. Example. Lets say you are doing a 7 day cruise and you have OBC already of $50.00 you will only receive $50.00 more from the stock credit. If you already have $100.00 OBC you get nothing.

 

I don't think that is the case anymore for cruises booked on/after June 1, 2019.

Wrongo, we just got $200 obc for our 12 night cruise scheduled in January.

 

They must have changed the tiers again and did not update the shareholder website (surprising, with their fabulous IT track record 😉 )

 

BTW, I only got $100 for my 10 night cruise early last month (submitted request July 24).

2. What is the benefit?
SHOW LESS
  • $250 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 14 or more nights
  • $100 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 6 to 13 nights.
  • $50 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 5 nights or less.

What does it mean " Benefit is not combinable with travel agent rates"?   Is this any travel agent or just the ones with Block pricing?

 

They most likely mean interline rates, which are rates travel agents can use when they themselves are traveling.

They do mention interline rates separately.  As long as it doesn't mean you can't use a travel agent.

 

Thanks!

 

We've been able to get the shareholder benefit OBC with several cruises booked via travel agent.

No, booked 4 cruises last month and got the full stock holder, MyVegas, and  Royal OBC.  Since it changed in June the agents are not fully aware of this.

How did the MyVegas OBC work? Did you have to book with their agent or could you add it after booking with your own TA? I have not had much luck with MyVegas.

I booked direct with Royal,  then redeemed the points and sent the email.  One $100 OBC in my name for one cruise,  and one $100 OBC in the wife's name for a different cruise.   I was using online agencies and never was able to get anything, so that's why I tried booking direct.

Just some data points:

 

I just received an email on three cruises I have coming up which I requested the benefit on.  They were all booked on Celebrity through the casino program.  The one which was listed with a Group # was not eligible for the benefit and the other two which were not listed with a group # were eligible.  The group # one is one of those which come with specific sailings listed with specific stateroom categories (via email/post).  The ones without a group # are those which were my selection with the casino discounts applied.  The specific text on the one which was declined said "...it is not combinable with the price code listed on your reservation.".

 

In June I requested the benefit on four Royal sailing and there was a mix of with a group # and without but they all went through just fine.

 

Just tried the new online submission system and was very surprised that everything seemed to work just fine.  I'll see if that works as well as emailing.
