Tangoqueen Posted March 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I emailed my request for shareholder obc benefit after 6pm last night and had a reviewed booking invoice by lunch time today showing the addition of $250 obc.

MarkBearSF Posted March 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Perhaps this only happens if you book direct with Cunard. I am with an agent.. I think it's up to the TA to run the report on the booking, with no direct contact between the line and the passenger. My TA always sends a new booking statement after any changes. ...and I also still think it's the case that email is not allowed for US passengers, instead we (or rather, my TA) needs to use the fax number they share with Princess. Probably also a US mail option. Edited March 7, 2018 by MarkBearSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDVinNC Posted March 9, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Is there any place on the Voyage Personalizer that shows the perks (like Shareholder or Veternas OBC or free gratuities) associated with your booking? I can find this for a planned Princess crossing, but not for our QM2 crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can find this for a planned Princess crossing, but not for our QM2 crossing. Nope. I'm pretty sure you have to get Cunard or your Travel Agent to print out your account and send it to you. You also can't review your folio onboard on your TV. You must go to the Pursers' Desk and request it. FYI - It's ALWAYS a good idea to ask them to print a report for your account at the start of your voyage to ensure your credits are accounted for. If you're told to wait X days, follow-up until they appear. (It's always good to get these things sorted while on board rather than later, and, and although I've had good experiences, Pursers' Desk staff have been reported to be dismissive to make passengers go away.)

brian1 Posted March 10, 2018 #19 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The Cunard CP seems quite backward compared to Princess where everything is visible and accessible.It seems you can't even buy OBC on the system,at least I can't see that,correct me if I am wrong,cheers,Brian.

Pleased you got it sorted Brian, I think the two companies may be sharing the same building and perhaps the same staff at times?

fantasy51 Posted March 17, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 17, 2018 For the first time my request for shareholder benefit did not go as planned. I phoned my share company and asked them to contact Cunard. This normally happens the same day. A few days later I contacted Cunard by email to see if things had gone through. They replied that they had not heard from my bank. Frustrating. I waited another week or so and then copied my statement off the internet, blacked out relevant details and scanned it, sending it in an email to Cunard UK. I was not sure if that would be sufficient as the statement date was January, it was now March and the cruise was not until June. I could have sold the shares meanwhile for all they knew! Also, a couple of years ago Cunard would not accept attachments in emails. Anyway, a couple of days later I received an email back from Cunard to say that it had gone through and I had been given the benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
