Shareholder Benefits

[Pia1913]

Yes, you can also get Military OBC (if eligible), OBC for using FCC(s), Loyalty OBC and any other you can get out of Princess or your TA.

 

 

And we get em' all, don't we, Paul? :p

[Bru92]

Does any UK member have a fax no to make application? I have e-mailed and asked for a fax no but have not elicited any response.

 

The USA Fax number is +1 661 753 0180. Don't have one for the UK.

Every penny we can get our hands on. :)

 

I have seen/heard people saying the Loyalty is small, no big deal, etc. I figure it is a few more dollars left in my pocket at the end of the cruise.

They do not list a UK Fax number on the plan description on Carnival Corp's website. They do have a UK phone number 44 0 845 3555 800

How can anyone dispute free money? Small? Perhaps. But it's still $25, or 50, or 75 or $100 more than you would have had. We get $100 each cruise, no matter the length. I think it's a nice gesture.

What happens to the OBCs if there is some left over at the end of the cruise? I have never let that happen, but it may on my upcoming 10 day cruise to Mexico.

to buy....merchandise, an experience.

 

My husband & I each will have 200$....on our next cruise

 

so I will make sure we spend the difference between the 12 days of tips

 

and the 200$. :)

Never had that problem. The ones from Princess (Shareholder, Military, FCC and Loyalty) are all non-refundable. However, I think Pia will chime in with how you can withdraw money at the casino to get it.

 

OBC from your TA is refunded if left over

Just the tips come to $138 per person for a 12 day cruise in a non-suite cabin. So that only leaves $62 each.

No, Pia will keep her mouth shut. I don't want to ruin a good thing. ;)

I sent my request on July 3rd and receive a confirmation today, but I am not seeing the OBC in cruise personalizer or online documents. Anyone know if it will eventually show up there? I will print that email and to take with me, but would like to "see" it before embarking. My less-than-stellar Princess employed travel agent is not very communicative or helpful either. Thanks!

No. It will not show on your personalizer. Just take your confirmation with you. In all my years of getting shareholder credit, it has always been there.

They've changed the system now. On our last cruise on the Grand last month, I asked at the desk what happens to any left over credit, and they now refund it regardlesss of the type of OBC.

On the UK personaliser, it shows up on the balance breakdown page.

I don't care what they've told people - I don't trust them & will take it out in the casino. You might get a big surprise one day when asking for your money & the day before arriving home they tell you you going to forfeit a couple hundred dollars if not spent.

[hansi]

Well, I speak as I find, and they gave me a refund, no problem.

I trust them until they give me a reason to think otherwise. On my next cruise, I don't think it will be that much, so I will let it ride and see what happens. I am pretty sure I will see a credit on my credit card.

[hansi]

They will not credit it back to your card. They will give you cash.

No, you will not.

I have not been able to find a current CCL policy - the link given earlier in this thread is the same as I have on file, and it leads to a blank page.

Does anyone know if perhaps CCL suspended the shareholder benefit....?

Thank you!

I got the Shareholder benefit or my upcoming cruises. It was applied about 1 week ago

There is no change nor has there been any change in benefits for the past 11 years.

[SimonaD]

Thanks for the quick reply guys, I went back, and clicked the link a few more times, and it just kept refreshing. And then I downloaded an attachment to an email, and realized that my browser was just saving the linked page to my downloads folder without mentioning it to me. So I have about 15 copies of it now :).

Talked with Princess today. They are processing the Shareholder OBC requests that were received on 11/15/12.
