heatherb1958 Posted September 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2019 We have held our shares since 2008, never had a problem getting a response from the Shareholder’s e.mail to request the OBC up until the last 6 months or so. Question- UK shareholders, what has your experience been lately ? Which e.mail have you been writing to? For our Explorer cruise in May this year our stockbroker had to phone America to get the OBC applied to our reservation and it did not get sorted until we were actually on the ship !! The customer service has been abysmal. We are cruising next month and have already sent 3 e.mails to investor relations . I keep telling my hubby to sell the shares as we are cruising less with RCI now but while they are paying a dividend he is keeping them. Cheers guys.

smokey01 Posted September 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2019 In March I sent my request to shareholderbenefit@rccl.com and I had a new invoice sent me the next day showing the shareholder OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago we used to be able to send a copy of our share statement in an e.mail to the address you gave but then RCI insisted on having the Stockbroker do it. Our shares are held with Redmayne Bentley. Thank you for replying, we will just have to be persistent. We have an inside cabin with no perks so there should be no delay in applying the OBC.

The shareholders benefit is now combinable with most perks including balcony discount. For cruises booked after either June 1 or July 1 of this year.

That is all I do. I just attach a copy of my statement as a PDF file to the email I send them. I’ve never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why we had a change of procedure , maybe because we purchased through a broker , no matter it will get sorted. We are on holiday in Crete at the moment so not going to think about it til we get home , cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
