johno95 Posted February 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I am all set to apply for a shareholder stock benefit. The Carnival webpage instructs me to send proof of share ownership to Princess Cruises, along with a Santa Clarita, CA address and phone number. But doesn't Princess have an email address for this? I can't imagine calling them up or writing them a snail letter. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They discontinued accepting email requests over a year ago and apparently it was due to a lack of security in an email so it's either by fax or snail mail only. Here's the application form if you don't have it: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=285295&d=1378261503 Edited February 17, 2014 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnRiver Posted February 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The last two cruises, I've faxed mine in on a Sunday afternoon and its been applied to my cruise within 48 hours. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Our mailman takes care of ours for about .44US. The price went up to $0.49 per letter. I fax mine to my travel agent and she takes care of it for me. Love my TA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your TA just faxes to the same location. I love my TA too but I fax it myself and then let my TA know via email so she can check to make sure it's applied.

can786 Posted February 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Does the Shareholder's credit show up in the cruise personalizer like FCC credit or credit from Princess or TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted February 17, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I used a web-based fax service last Friday to send in my request. It showed up in the Cruise Personalizer in about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the ahareholder OBC shows on the cruise personalizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coo359a2 Posted February 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Does the Shareholder's credit show up in the cruise personalizer like FCC credit or credit from Princess or TA? Yes it does. So there is no need to call Princess or your TA to see if you have received this OBC. I have my bank fax the forms to Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted February 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sending a Fax costs me nothing and its there is seconds. Sending snail mail costs 49 cents and might get there in a week, but, unlike a FAX, you do not have any proof whether they get it or not :). And now that the Princess show up on the Personalizer we no longer need a return confirmation. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest way is to fax the request to Princess and check the Cruise Personalizer to see it has been processed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmalino Posted February 18, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I just faxed one about 2 weeks ago. At first I had sent the wrong form and I received an e-mail informing me of this within 10 minutes. Once I corrected my mistake I had the credit within a couple hours. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can786 Posted February 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yes, the ahareholder OBC shows on the cruise personalizer. Thanks. I faxed it on Saturday. It's not showing yet, but I will keep watching. Hopefully I don't have a problem because my brokerage statement does not have our name on each page, only the account number. I sent the cover page with our names and the page that shows we own the stock and blacked out all but the last 4 digits of the account number on both pages. I'm hoping they will accept this as proof of stock ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckiest Dog Posted February 18, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 18, 2014 They discontinued accepting email requests over a year ago and apparently it was due to a lack of security in an email so it's either by fax or snail mail only. Here's the application form if you don't have it: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=285295&d=1378261503 I printed out the form and it applies to sailings prior to July 31, 2014. Does that mean there will be an updated program for August 1, 2014 or will the program be going away? Also the form says "This offer can only be applied to bookings under deposit". What does this mean? I have a paid booking for next month and a deposit on a 15 day cruise in November. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to use the form to apply for the OBC but since it's available I use it. Not sure why they'd have that statement about "bookings under deposit"?? :confused: You should be okay by applying after final payment on any cruise.

I love my TA too but I fax it myself and then let my TA know via email so she can check to make sure it's applied. I just skip the extra step (email my TA). One less thing to worry about. I used to do all the footwork and then turn it over to my TA before final payment is due. Getting too old to remember every little detail (haha). Now I do the preliminary and she follows up on everything. Best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare trbarton Posted February 19, 2014 #22 Share Posted February 19, 2014 My experience...shortly after I faxed the documents I called Princess and BINGO I received the credit. Remember that they will ask you for the date of the fax, time it was faxed, & the number it was faxed from. Tom:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenswing Posted February 19, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I faxed mine Friday and nothing yet. :confused: I would have thought they just go in order. You might want to fax it again or give them a call.. They have gotten a lot better recently so yours may have fallen through the cracks. Mine was posted in less than 24 hours..

Melcoug Posted February 19, 2014 #25 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Are you after final payment and is your brokerage statement within a 90 day time frame? Yes, it was an end of Dec statement and we cruise next month. I'll fax it again and keep my fingers crossed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
