Knickearth Posted December 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We are leaving within a month on a long cruise. Sent in copy of stock ownership over a month ago. Still not showing up on my account. Anyone else having similar problem. Of course, haven't gotten assigned a cabin yet (paid for guarantee cabin), but this doesn't surprise me. The stock thing does.

Thrak Posted December 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I always fax it in. I use one number to send the fax and then about an hour later I call the second number to verify they have received my fax and they apply it immediately at that point. I would call Princess. If they don't have it then send a fax. You can send a free fax online using Fax Zero. I've used it and it works fine. https://faxzero.com/ Fax: 661 753 0180 (For Sending Shareholder OBC Info) Tel: 800 872 6779 ext. 30317 (For Confirming OBC Fax Has Been Received) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted December 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I sent in my info for the Shareholder OBC about 2 weeks ago and have already gotten the credit on my account. I would suggest you call and chase them. My reservation is also for a guarantee and we have not gotten a cabin yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-Crazzy Posted December 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I always mail my request for Shareholder OBC. It always shows on my account within a week. I would check with Princess if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted December 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2017 About a month ago I faxed mine in the morning and the credit showed up in the cruise personlizer in the afternoon. I would fax or mail again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the amount of the credit depend on which cabin you are in? Since you don't have a cabin assigned yet they don't know how much credit you should get. Maybe you will get an upgrade and therefore get more credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference what category cabin you have. Based on number of days of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you don't have a cabin assigned yet they don't know how much credit you should get. Maybe you will get an upgrade and therefore get more credit? No. The amount of OBC depends on the length of the voyage. OBC from CCL Stock Sailings of 6 days or less $50 Sailings of 7 - 13 days $100 Sailings of 14 days or longer $250 Sorry to hijack this thread but how much stock do you need to own to get any benefits? You need to own 100 shares of CCL which is Carnival Corporation. CCL owns multiple cruise lines. The OBC is per cabin so it doesn't matter how many people in the cabin own 100 (or more) shares there is only one perk per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkat Posted December 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yes, I would definitely refax the information. I sent mine using FaxZero over a weekend and the credit was showing by mid-day Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChalkDust55 Posted December 9, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Do you need to include a cover letter of any kind. Our stock is held in trust. Is it better to send verification document that shows names of trustees? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted December 9, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Ours is also in a trust. Never a problem. I include a cover sheet with the voyage number(s), sailing date, ship & our names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not showing up on my account. UPDATE. Now 20 days until we go and still no accounting for my shipboard credit. Agent faxed it and has proof of fax. Princess claims they don’t have it - and we are not alone in this. Supposedly they told agent they are behind on doing the stock. I was told they didn’t get it:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know your TA, but I do know this...last sunday I faxed my docs to Princess, they were credited to my next cruise (1/7/18) last Tuesday. Something is amiss. Possibly your TA did not include all of the pertinent data so that Princess could process your request. As I said, do it yourself. Use http://faxzero.com right from your PC or Mac.

Rare dickinson Posted December 9, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I had an issue recently not knowing if they got the fax. I waited a few days and called Customer Service. They appeared to check and told me to re-fax as it wasn't received. We did it and then called back. The customer rep we got then just gave me the line that it can take x days etc. Said no way to check. They transferred me to customer relations. That rep gave me her personal fax number and I faxed it to her while on the phone with her. She applied it immediately. I have noted the phone # Thrax said to use to confirm in case I need it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san diego sue Posted December 9, 2017 #21 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I faxed mine Thursday morning at 7:30am. I happened to check my personalizer at 8:30AM and I already had my credits .So they are up to date with their postings and very quick.If someone says they are behind, at this point wouldn't believe them. If something is incorrect or faxed wrong, you will not hear from Princess. If you are using a Brokerage statement, make sure it is current and has your name on the page you fax. With multiple pages on a statement, some only have your name on page one and not on the page showing Princess stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted December 9, 2017 #22 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Since faxing has become a little old fashioned these days I've been scanning my docs and sending them that way to an e mail address for Carnival cruises. it sounds like you guys on Princess are still faxing so does anyone scan and send that way??? Do you have an email instead of a fax number?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told they didn’t get it:cool: I really hate to admit this but it may help you. I had a similar situation a couple of months ago. I faxed them in about three times and waited and waited. I finally called Princess and the CSR stayed on the phone while I faxed it again. When she said nothing came I finally realized that I had been faxing them in UPSIDE DOWN!!! :o:o:o (They had been receiving blank pieces of paper) So I confessed how stupid I felt, faxed it in right-side up and had the credit in about 10 minutes.
