Given we should receive $800 worth of OBC in the first almost 2 years of purchase, ideally the price will jump back up as covid settles and confidence to travel resumes??/ It still seems a decent risk to me. I have set my plans in motion!!! It is worthwhile now. When they were offered at $8 around 2 years ago, I still thought they were a good long term investment. I just didn't buy because of how insecure things were becoming during the initial lockdowns, while working for an otherwise good employer that was getting low on cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted April 29, 2022 #28 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I emailed Princess on 11th April, applying for the shareholder's OBC but it hasn't appeared on any of my bookings yet. I will email them again, but before I do, I would like to know how long it has taken for others on here to have the OBC appear on their Cruise Personalizer.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 29, 2022 #29 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I emailed them on the 17th, no sign of the OBC yet but the long weekends could have slowed things down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will both keep watching our Cruise Personalizers. I will let it go a few more days next week, then email again if nothing appears. I emailed P&O also on the 11th. I received an acknowledment email the next day and the OBC appeared on our Cruise Control (P&O's name for the cruise account). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if it hasn't turned up by next Friday I'll either email them or phone them. Of course since their offices are in a neighbouring suburb I could always go pay them a visit. 😁 Edited April 29, 2022 by OzKiwiJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed early April, so suspect all the public holidays have delayed the princess ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a week ahead of me, both with sending the notification and for your cruise. Let us know when you see the OBC on your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 30, 2022 #37 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Also the person who processes the shareholder requests may have been on holiday. I think the Carnival/Princess office is fairly small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Jane Smith Posted May 1, 2022 #39 Share Posted May 1, 2022 We emailed benefits@princesscruises.com.au on 26 Mar 2022. When no result by 8 April, we forwarded the same email to shareholderbenefit@carnivalaustralia.com. reply was received from solutions@princesscruises.com.au (via the princess cruises email, not the carnival one) and OBC applied 22 Apr 2022 Pity it takes so long, but as our cruise is not until June, we are still happy with the result!

kenexx Posted May 4, 2022 #42 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Am I correct the credit shows up in the cruise personalizer under the payments tab? It’s a month today since I submitted the proof of ownership. I have followed up a few days ago to the shareholder benefits at carnival as outlined above. I’m just curious as it’s my first time doing it and I’m hoping what I sent them is what they need.

I have a couple of other credits (from the TA and as part of the Princess booking), but not the shareholder one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the staff who are applying the shareholder's credits are prioritising pax depending on the date of their cruise, yours should be finalised before mine. Your cruise is a week earlier. Please let us know when your OBC appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
