This fake Facebook web page is located on Facebook at the following address:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/ Royal-Caribbean-International/ 395969257213641

This fake Facebook page has the name "Royal Caribbean International.". If you look carefully, you will notice that the name ends with a full stop or dot. This full stop or dot is the only thing separating this fake Facebook page name from the legitimate Royal Caribbean International Facebook page.

The legitimate Royal Caribbean International is located on Facebook at the following address:
https://www.facebook.com/royalcaribbean

And, it has the following name "Royal Caribbean International" and not “Royal Caribbean International.”.

So, always go to this legitimate page to verify any Royal Caribbean International Facebook post or promotion before taking part in any activity.

If you click the link on this fake Facebook post or web page, you will be redirected the website below:
http://reallyfunvacations.us/royal/

This website will ask you to complete online surveys or you may be redirected to some form of spam or online advertisements, which the scammers behind it will get paid for.

On this website, you will be asked to do the following:
"Please fill out one of the following surveys. You will not be allowed to continue until you have completed a survey."

If you want to know if a Facebook page is legitimate, look out for a blue tick mark to the right of the page name. Facebook put this blue tick mark next to the names of all of the pages it has verified.

Now, if you have shared and "liked" this fake Facebook post, please remove all shared Facebook posts and "unlike" it.

Again, do not click on this post or follow the instructions in it. This Facebook post is a fake and has nothing to do with Royal Caribbean International.
