CookieShip Posted July 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Looks like I just need to email a recent statement to ShareholderBenefit@ncl.com showing my ownership of at least 100 shares, do I need to block out any information? Carnival use to make me block out account numbers, which I thought was odd... Can the OBC be used for anything? Like if bought CruiseNext certificates, would it apply towards those? It cannot be applied towards the DSC correct? Anything else I should know? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They typically reply in 2-3 days. Once on board your OBC essentially goes toward settlement of your final bill, so spend as you desire; I've never been told "oh no you can't buy xyz with your money sir", but it probably just washes out over various meals/drinks etc. Edited July 2, 2019 by Notnewtoit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy NOSNOW Posted July 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yes, NCL does state on the request form that the account number be blocked out. Here is link to the form. It took about three week after I submitted it for the credit to appear. http://www.nclhltdinvestor.com/static-files/43324b8a-1e18-43ab-9664-b05fe3b6d9e5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesneygirl Posted July 2, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) As others have said, yes you need to "block out" your account number. Once approved, the OBC will show up on your vacation summary when you log in to your NCL account. In my past experiences the process would take a couple of days. But when I applied a few weeks ago, it actually took a good 7 to 10 days before I heard back. Edited July 2, 2019 by Chesneygirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same experience, always within 2-3 days and then a couple of weeks ago it took a week, I was already onboard ship(last minute special)but got credit in time, that along with still waiting for last cruise to be added to cruise history.

Katie H Posted July 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I applied on 6/18 and just received the OBC today, 7/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye10640 Posted July 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 2, 2019 On a related note is NCL more restrictive with stockholder OBC than other lines like CCL? Can I use it along with the various NCL promotions or with a casino rate? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexandNessa Posted July 2, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yes, the only thing they need to see is that you have at least 100 shares of NCLH. I block out all my other stocks that are on the statement as well as how much money is in the account, along with my account number. I've never been denied, credit for any rate I've booked or other promos. I believe you cannot use it for DSC if you're paying that onboard, but that's the only restriction I know about. They are running long in approving and applying so give yourself plenty of time, 2 weeks + turnaround. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can not be used for gratuities for obvious reasons. We always mail our request with the paperwork to NCL and within a week we have our email showing acceptance. We would black out any personal information like account number even if it wasn't required. Enjoy, it is always fun to get an OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting a couple of weeks with no response and in the past it would post within 24 hours. I was thinking I might just have to give up and lose out on the OBC, but there still might be a chance it shows up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Print your email with docs and the case number you got when you emailed Shareholder services with you. Go to the credit desk onboard. Have them email Shareholder services. They should even be able to apply it while you're onboard, as long as you submitted your info within a reasonable time pre-cruise. But, check your room account once aboard to make sure it's not magically there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
