JVilleGal Posted May 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Is Norwegian still giving an OBC for owning 100 Shares of Norwegian? http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-5WOY6H/0x0x681828/4AF17A4F-D574-4094-BDE8-5AD5FA288377/blankPDF.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Just email the form with a copy of a recent brokerage statement and they will send you an updated Amenities receipt with the OBC on it. Usually within a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVilleGal Posted May 15, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thank you! Just received one for a HAL cruise we are taking in June. Didn't know if Norwegian was still doing it :) Booked a Christmas cruise on Norwegian for our family last night! No Christmas family drama and no upchuck of Christmas morning presents... sounds good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukapaw Posted May 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We sail I about three weeks. I emailed the Shareholder benefit (SHB) form and received an email the next day with an attached "Amenity Invoice" showing the $100 had been credited to our accounts. I checked online and verified this. It is clearly shown as "non-refundable" An interesting note: Even though the shares are all held in an account in my name and my name was the only one on the SHB request form, the SHB was split between my wife and me on the amenity invoice, $50 each. This is not a big deal except that if all our onboard purchases were made on only one person's cruise card, the $50 assigned to the other person might not be credited and would be lost. I would like to think that this was not a conscious (read sneaky) decision by the big-wigs at NCL but the way things have been headed with them lately, I wouldn't be surprised. :evilsmile: I guess the only way to know for sure is to check your onboard account frequently and make sure that any OBC you have is being utilized and not going to waste ~Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyetlse Posted May 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I've never had the credit split between the two guests, but I have seen it all applied to guest #1 even though the shareholder was guest #2… They should be more careful about this, but in practice I guess in most cabins everyone shares a common onboard account. In that case it doesn't matter if all the credits are in one person's name but all the charges are in the other person's name: everything is pooled together into one account.

Regguy Posted May 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Same here. Shows as 2x$50 nonrefundable credits on edocs. For what it's worth it took nearly two weeks to get the amenity credit email when we submitted a couple months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPCVcruiser Posted May 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's super easy. Make sure to black out your account number on the forms you send. Mine was processed in less than 24 hours, maybe I sent it on a really slow day for them. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted May 15, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Shows as 2x$50 nonrefundable credits on edocs.I guess they are now treating this like other types of per-stateroom OBC (split between guests 1 & 2). Like I said earlier, it makes no difference in most cases, but if you are a shareholder traveling with a friend and keeping separate accounts, and you don't want to share your OBC with them, you will have to work that out between the two of you. On the other hand, if both of you are shareholders, this nicely sidesteps the question of who gets to apply for the OBC (since NCL will only accept one request per stateroom): If it gets split evenly between guests 1 & 2, then it doesn't matter who applies for it. But I wonder what happens if the shareholder is guest #3… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandlucy Posted May 15, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We also emailed and got ours within a day. I was impressed -- good job NCL Shareholder Dept! And ours was also spread over two accounts. Now I wonder if I charge $100 and my husband charges zero, will the $50 OBC that is assigned to my husband be applied if he doesn't charge anything to his account. (The only thing he usually charges is the casino, and I believe that the shareholder OBC cannot be applied to casino charges) Is OBC applied immediately, or is it applied to the bill at the very end?

At that point, both of your accounts (credits and charges) are pooled together, so you don't have worry if each person spent his/her own credits, as long as the total charges for both people are enough to use up the total credits for both people.

brikee Posted May 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Can you receive this benefit if you booked a cruise and purchased shares after the booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPCVcruiser Posted May 16, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yes you can. You will need a statement from your brokerage account showing the shares in your account. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinHarvey Posted May 16, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 16, 2017 To clarify, the OBC varies by cruise length. < 7 days $50. 7 - 14 days $100. >= 15 days $250. It's good for NCL, Oceania or Regent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
