RCL will give all staff except corporate officers shares worth 5% of their 2017 salary after the cruise giant achieved a goal of doubling earnings per share and seeing a double-digit return on investment. RCL estimates the equity is worth $80 million in total.
Employees will be able to cash in the shares in three years. They will be given to all shipboard and shore staff, both full and part-time. In addition, RCCL has pledged to upgrade crew living and recreational areas.
