Creator's Key Takeaways

Most seasoned cruisers know that owning a 100 shares of RCL gets you up to $250 in onboard credit every time you sail.

You're essentially using a retirement asset to generate a travel dividend today.

I actually just submitted this form for two upcoming cruises, and I heard back within 24 hours.

Using your Roth IRA to fund your onboard credit is the ultimate savvy cruiser move.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Own at least 100 shares of Royal Caribbean Group to be eligible for onboard credit.
βœ“Hold shares in a Roth IRA to avoid taxes on dividends and gains.
βœ“Submit the shareholder benefit request form about 3 weeks before sailing.
βœ“Edit your brokerage statement to highlight key information and redact private details.
