Check your onboard account after the first 2 or 3 days and if you do not have the credit applied you just pay a visit to Guest Relations with your documentation (and related paperwork). The Onboard staff will then contact the home office and you will usually have your credit within a couple of days. Hank I'm only doing a 1-night Seattle - Vancouver.... so not much time to fix anything. I am seeing the credit in my account online now. Have you had instances where you see it online but it doesn't show up on the cruise? I'd figure at this point there's not much that can go wrong.

No, that has never happened to us. If it shows online it has always been on our onboard account. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted September 13, 2019 #53 Share Posted September 13, 2019 My problem has been a disappearing stockholder OBC. I had it applied six months ago, but it was not there two days ago. A call to HAL found that when the TA had made some change to the booking the stockholder OBC somehow disappeared. It was reapplied with no problem. As I am using a TA, the stockholder OBC cannot be displayed to me on the HAL web site (I know of no logical reason for this web design). I have to call HAL or the TA to make sure the stockholder OBC is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb78 Posted September 13, 2019 #54 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I should add that I did get a confirmation email 6 days after I sent the fax. Just in case anyone was wondering what the lead time is right meow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there are much better stocks to own in terms of how much they have appreciated in value. Carnival stock has not done nearly as well as Royal Caribbean (whose shareholder offer is not nearly as easy to get approved), in fact I think I've lost money on it, but at least I've gotten some of the money I lost back in OBC. If you cruise HAL or other Carnival bands many times a year, I guess you could have earned back everything you lost on the stock's value.

MisterBill99 Posted December 2, 2019 #64 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Wow I faxed in my shareholder benefit request over the weekend and got a response this morning that it had been added. That's an all time speed record for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb008 Posted December 9, 2019 #65 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I submitted my request about 2:45p EST on Friday using FaxZero and got a reply back about 9:45 AM Monday confirming the benefit had been applied to my upcoming booking. I used a screenshot from my brokerage account with basically everything but the CCL line redacted. Then overlaid my name, booking number, ship, departure date and port as well as my contact info onto the same page so it was "all" on a single page. Now I wish I'd bought 100 shares of CCL after my first Princess cruise in '07 versus after my fifth Princess and first HAL cruises 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semibeater Posted December 9, 2019 #66 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I have taken advantage of this benefit many times but wondered why if you do a B to B (total of 14 days) you only get two 7 day credits? ($100 per segment) 14 days should be $250? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was classified as a Collector Cruise with one booking number it would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semibeater Posted December 10, 2019 #74 Share Posted December 10, 2019 We could do a 14 day with 1 booking in the past. Now only 7 day Bookings are allowed. Not sure what the motivation was for the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the motivation was for the change. Probably depends on the itinerary. I just randomly checked Nieuw Amsterdam and they do have some 14 night Caribbean sailings in February and March that are a combination of two seven nights cruises, as well as the seven night segments. But they don't have any 14 nighters in January. Edited December 10, 2019 by MisterBill99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
