Wow Sale / shareholder benefit

[woodscruise]

As a shareholder in RCCL I was wondering if I book the cruise through the 3 day WOW sale if I am still entitled to the onboard shareholder credit? The cruise was discounted through the WOW sale in Australia.

Benefit is not combinable with other onboard credit offers, general loyalty offers, “dollars off” promotions and savings certificates. Guests have the option to choose between the shareholder benefit or the other offer. The Shareholder must own the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. stock at time of sailing. Onboard credit is calculated in US dollars except on sailings where the onboard currency used is a foreign currency (in which case the onboard credit will be converted at a currency exchange rate determined by the cruise line) and is not redeemable for cash. Certificate value credited to onboard account at time of sailing. Any unused credit shall be forfeited. Credit is applied on a per stateroom basis; double occupancy. Single guests paying 200% of applicable fare shall receive full value of certificate. Only one shareholder credit per stateroom. Only one credit per shareholder on any one sailing.

In other words, NO.

For recently booked cruises, the only discount I have been successful in combining the stockholder credit is with my travel agent's on board credit which comes from his commission.

 

If it's a sale, coupon or Diamond discount - no.

Shareholder OBC is only combinable with TA OBC and RCI Visa OBC as far as I know.
