JohnGc Posted March 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2018 You would not believe how many months and how many emails I have sent to R.C.I requesting to have promotional and advertising material sent to my email address. I have ticked the boxes on my cruise planner that many times to receive emails. I have phoned Crown & Anchor. Every time I get a reply email saying they have added my email address and that I will now receive all material. Well I have not received one email. I know they have my correct email address, it is on my cruise planner for my next cruise. My daughter has also booked on the same cruise and has just received an email offering 30% off a refreshment package I once again have received nothing. When I booked my cruise, all information was emailed to me so why is it that R.C.I can not sort it out. I have checked my incoming spam and they are not appearing there. I think I will just give up.

mv13 Posted March 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Your emails could possibly be getting blocked at the server level by your internet service provider. This happened to me with my ISP Internode. All of a sudden emails from a particular sender started to be blocked. I could go to Internode’s Webpage and log in and change the spam settings to allow mail from this sender. If you aren’t able to do this, maybe give your ISP a call and have a chat with them and see if your RCI mail might be getting blocked by their security systems. Hope this helps.

JohnGc Posted March 18, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Thank you Melissa, I will check it all out. Hi Melissa, thinking more about your post,I have been receiving replies back from R.C.I Crown & Anchor every time I have emailed them regarding not receiving their mail, so I guess they are not being blocked by Google Mail. I have also checked on my mail settings and R.C.I are not blocked on there. Another point is, that before my last cruise in January 2018, I thankfully did receive all mail regarding my actual cruise, it is only the mail for promotions that I am not receiving. :)I do like to keep my eye on future cruises offered.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mv13 Posted March 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2018 In that case I have no idea. Although, I guess the email address they are replying to you from might be seen as safe, given it is probably only used for direct communciation. Whereas the email they use for their advertising etc, which would be unmonitored, eg you can’t reply to it, might somehow be associated with spam by Google Mail. I haven’t used Google Mail so I’m not sure about their spam settings etc. I know with internode there is a held Mail option once I log into my account on their home page and that was where all my blocked Mail was found. Coincidentally, the person I wasn’t receiving mail from was using GMail as well and I had previously been receiving his mail ok, so not sure what had changed. If only you could turn it off at the plug and back on again to fix the problem.:) Regards Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted March 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I have never had the issue with RCI but have with other emails, particularly with attachments being blocked. I would definitely check your spam settings as some thing get blocked while others are let through but sent to the junk box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGc Posted March 18, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Presumably you are checking your email client spam folder. Hi, yes checking it all the time plus all my mail settings, ie blocked mail & spam settings. All other mail getting through. What I do not understand is RCI mail replies to my queries come through fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGc Posted March 18, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Have you tried changing the notification settings on your new C&A page? Hi, Yes I actually did that the other day, I set the preferences for Royal Caribbean & Celebrity cruises & then saved. Seeing I only did it the other day when I managed to eventually sign in to the new site, there is the possibility I could get the emails from now on. Here's hoping.

Chiliburn Posted March 18, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Niceman RC only send garbage and false advertising. All the big sales and special deals just for you,that have absolutely no savings. They seem to think people are like sharks,we smell blood and bit anything that comes along. Your not missing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikeanswers Posted March 18, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I noticed you said you have Gmail, so I am wondering have you checked the Promotions folder? I find all my advertising goes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send a flash sale regarding your next cruise and you go the cruise planner and there’s just the regular prices. I read somewhere that RC now has a policy of not discount on Cruise planner.

I find all my advertising goes in there. Adding to my last post I found configure post boxes and noticed only primary box is ticked. Does this mean all mail apart from spam should go in there, or should I have promotions box ticked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all for your suggestions. It is still a mystery but I will see what happens now I have signed again and also emailed Crown & Anchor.(yn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted March 19, 2018 #22 Share Posted March 19, 2018 It's been a long-standing issue that whether you get email, and what email you get from RCL (and also Celebrity), is inconsistent. Some couples have similar problems with one getting it and not the other. I get some, but not all the email that others report getting. You're not the only one.

ilikeanswers Posted March 19, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Now That is interesting. Where do I find that as I can not see a promotions folder on my Gmail, only my Inbox, Sent mail, Drafts, All mail, Spam & Trash. All the rest are my private ones I installed. My Gmail has Primary underneath which is Social and underneath that is Promotions. That is where I find all my commercial subscriptions are automatically placed:cool:. If you can't see Promotions try going into Settings - > select your email address - > manage labels. Maybe you need to sync Promotions with inbox?

Maybe you need to sync Promotions with inbox? Thank you, I have been into my mail settings and there is a place where I can tick a box for promotions. I will try that to see if it makes a difference. I did read that with promotions not ticked all mail would go into primary but I will give it a go. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
