bananawindnj Posted August 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I know that has Royal has recently updated their common stock for OBC policy, but I can only Google a Royal Stock pdf file from 2010. Does anyone have a link to a newer version that is valid now. We have about 4 cruises booked already and I want to have the latest information. TIA.

truffles2 Posted August 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Are people still being successful getting the SH discount along with balcony discount--as long as it was booked after June 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably know this, but so others are not confused, the shareholder benefit is not a discount but a non-refundable on board credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I'm reading and understanding the new terms - yes, the SH onboard credit is combinable with the C&A Balcony Discount, as well as any other OBC's received from the cruise line in conjunction with booking the cruise. Also, I'm reading (I think) that the SH OBC cannot be applied to onboard service charges - like the daily gratuities charge. Would like to hear if others are interpreting all this the same way.

Will let you know. Am faxing my required info on Monday. I called RCI and was told that yes I could get the SH Benefit but would have to go through my TA or do it myself because it was booked through a TA.

lovelife Posted August 10, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thanks for this info - I learn so much on Cruise Critic. I had no idea it had changed. I haven't been able to use the benefit with the C&A discount for years (I bought 1300 shares when it was $8!) Good news.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biomedbob Posted August 11, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The change also caused us to rebook our Grandeur cruise to 2020. The "glitch" was also an incentive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for a clarification, were your cruises already booked before June 1, this year, or do you mean that you are getting the OBC for any new cruises you booked after June 1, 2019? I have 3 cruises booked before June 1, that are still to be taken, and 2 cruises that I booked after June 1. Will I get the OBC for all 5 no matter what perk Royal offered on the original booking?
