We are currently transitioning the Employee Hardship Fund and Fain Scholarship to a new and improved platform due to be launched in January 2026. The previous application site is no longer in use.

We will share updated instructions and the new link as soon as it’s available, and it will also be communicated on Homeport and myRCL. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition.

It takes a team of dedicated individuals to create unforgettable memories for our guests. We are committed to supporting that team with enhanced educational opportunities and assisting them in times of personal hardship or natural disaster.
