If there is a casino comp or discount code on your reservation, the lovely staff of the shareholder's benefit department will deny your request.

I have two upcoming cruises with a casino discount codes and both have received a $100 shareholder OBC.  They are not "comped" cruises, but I am definitely using casino discount codes as they were both booked through club royale.  i did e-mail my request and proof of ownership to shareholderbenefit@rccl.com.

I emailed my request yesterday afternoon and received my response/approval this morning for two cruises in Oct 2023.

If you submit via the email address - they usually send you a new invoice showing the OBC (fairly quickly after submission).

I did submit my application to the provided RCL email address (the end of July I think) for our recent August cruise.  I received an acknowledgement that my application had been received (one of those automatic type replies) but no confirmation that yes, I would see my onboard credit in my account.  (I looked for it when I boarded and indeed found it.) The same scenario with my application for our 5 day cruise last September.  However, did you book your cruise directly through Celebrity or RCCL?  We travel  only on Celebrity but we book through a travel agent (Costco), so we received no new invoices.  Maybe these factors make the difference?

Since this is an RCI board, one must assume that the replies posted refer only to the RCI process. While under the RCG umbrella, Celebrity could handle things slightly differently. How you booked should not matter.

Respectfully, this is a RCL shareholders benefit thread which I got to via Celebrity.  Celebrity is part of RCCL and this is probably useful to those who got to this thread via Celebrity to learn that there are difference processes.

No, it’s a thread in the RCI section of CC and it does not matter how you got here. Again, while under the RCG umbrella, Celebrity does some things differently than RCI and coming here and posting Celebrity info may just confuse the RCI posters expecting RCI related info. If there’s not a shareholder thread in the Celebrity section of CC, you can crate one and discuss Celebrity specific info there.

Attach a screenshot or proof of your 100 shares and email them with your reservation number. Thats all that is needed

No form needed. I just listed the ship, sail date, room number and proof of 100 shares emailed to ShareholderBenefit@rccl.com. Response is quick.

The easiest way is to just fill in this form online. It works especially well if you have multiple cruises or multiple rooms. (Note: for multiple rooms, you need to have more than 100 shares).

Great news!  Thanks. 🙂

 I can verify that we have received the shareholder benefit OBC on both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruises.

I just submitted the request for SH OBC first.  After that was done, I added the casino discounts.  😄 😄   😄

Corrected as I mistakenly typed room instead of reservation number.

Sorry, I don’t get it. Do I send in my ‘Cruise Confirmation’ which lists line items for cruise fare, port charges, taxes, pre-paid gratuities, etc (including the OBC)?  I don’t understand where you subtract and ‘add’ the casino discounts?  I’m new at this.

Thanks!

Just submit all of your information to: https://rclshareholderbenefit.questionpro.com/

Some of you might say it is not a good value right now but in the $40's it is still over $45 per share less than what it was most on this spring. I purchased $100 at $31 and have made a nice profit but really i am looking forward to using my first credit in November.

I can tell you, from cruising 2 weeks ago, that the RCL stock benefit is combinable with other onboard credits.  Tip:  you won't be advised that the credit will be added to your account after you submit your application; you will just see it when you check your account after boarding.  It can be used for whatever you want to spend it on.

Once the boss has checked the price of her favourite perfume which is often much cheaper than anywhere else we invest  the rest in the casino.

My financial advisor and I were talking at my annual check up and knows we like to cruise. It was his suggestion to buy the 100 shares through my retirement account, which we did. Once that paper work came to me I submitted it and within days got an email telling me my $100 OBC was in my account for our cruise later this month

We purchased at $16 back in 2009.  It has more than paid for itself for just letting it sit there.  Just this year will get $650 OBC, and next year around the same.  

Where/how do you purchase?

Any brokerage account which allows you to buy stock.

Do you get dividends?
