The Royal Caribbean shareholder benefit request form is how owners of at least 100 shares of RCL stock claim an onboard credit of $50 to $1,000 per stateroom on Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea sailings. You submit it through the company’s online portal, by email, or by fax, with proof of ownership attached, at least three weeks before you sail.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
What You Get
The credit is a flat amount per stateroom, not per person, and it scales with cruise length:1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
- 5 nights or fewer: $50
- 6 to 13 nights: $100
- 14 nights or more: $250
- World Cruise: $1,000
The amounts are the same across all three brands. Only one shareholder credit posts to a stateroom per sailing, so two shareholders sharing a cabin do not double up.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
Who Qualifies
You need to hold at least 100 shares of Royal Caribbean Group common stock (NYSE: RCL) at the time of sailing, not just when you file the form. The shares have to stay in your account through the voyage.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
The shareholder claiming the credit must actually be a guest in the stateroom that receives it. You cannot apply your credit to a friend’s or family member’s cabin. Employees of Royal Caribbean Group and its subsidiaries are not eligible.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
Some sailings are excluded outright: chartered cruises, complimentary sailings, and any Galapagos itinerary. The credit also cannot be combined with complimentary sailing offers.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
What to Have Ready Before You Open the Form
Two things: your booking details and proof that you own the shares.
From your cruise confirmation, pull the reservation number, ship name, and sail date.
For proof of ownership, Royal Caribbean accepts either of the following:2Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Onboard Credit Offer Request Form
- A current brokerage statement dated within 90 days showing at least 100 RCL shares. Black out your full account number before submitting.
- A photocopy of your shareholder proxy card.
The name on your proof of ownership has to match the name on the cruise reservation. Mismatches are the most common reason requests get denied.3Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefit Request Form If your brokerage uses a slightly different version of your name, or you recently changed it, resolve that with your broker or cruise line before you file.
How to Submit It
The submission channel depends on the brand you’re sailing.
Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises
The fastest route is the online portal at rccl.my.salesforce-sites.com/shareholdersobc. You enter your booking information, upload the brokerage statement or proxy card, and confirm. A success message appears on screen when the submission goes through.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
If you’d rather not use the portal, email the completed form and proof of ownership to shareholderbenefit@rccl.com, or fax them to (305) 373-6699. Put your reservation number in the email subject line so it routes quickly.2Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Onboard Credit Offer Request Form
Silversea
Silversea uses its own electronic submission form, separate from the Royal Caribbean and Celebrity portal. You can also email Silversea’s team directly at tradeadmin@silversea.com.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
Deadline and Response Time
File at least three weeks (21 days) before you sail. Royal Caribbean says to expect a response within seven days of submission.3Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefit Request Form
Three weeks sounds like plenty until an expired brokerage statement or a name mismatch sends you back to fix it. Filing four or five weeks out gives you room to resubmit. No published policy lets you claim the credit onboard if you miss the window, so treat the deadline as firm.
What Happens After Approval
Once approved, the credit posts directly to the shareholder’s stateroom folio at the time of sailing. You can spend it on dining, drinks, spa treatments, shore excursions, and most other onboard charges.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits
It cannot be used for onboard service charges or pre-purchased activities. It is non-refundable and non-transferable: anything left unspent after the final night is forfeited, and you cannot give it or sell it to another passenger.1Royal Caribbean Group. Shareholder Benefits If you cancel and rebook, submit a new request for the new sailing.
