Thanks for that link.  Not good news for me as I don't know what I will use it for as my only spending would be the gratuities and pre-booked excursions as I don't drink alcohol, coffee or soda.

SHOPPING 🤪

Spa treatments or haircuts on longer trips, etc. twice we have purchased paintings from Graham Denison and my SBC was credited so the purchase became cheaper.  You can never have too much SBC. If on a big ship, we have used SBC to get a group of friends together in Prive for a celebratory dinner. 
good luck,

I suspect if booked through travel agent you will not be able to view.  Anyway I looked at my online booking and there is no “ view credits  option. Stock is at a one year low so you can get 100 shares for about $1300.00. Even If it goes down 20% you would be about even with $250 onboard credit. I made a lot of money buying carnival stock but I would be surprised if rcl does that in the short term. Got in at about $13.20. Something to watch, anyway

If you bought at 130 a share.... you just lost $400+     as of Today  100 shares  going for $9 a share....  $900 !...      I would not look at getting payback  for many many years   unless you take 5-6 cruises a year and with inflation continuing for  2 or more years  minimum.....   Can you afford to even cruise ?   Air fare up almost 50%.....

• $11.00 today. It will be back to $13 soon.

Coffee & sodas are included in the fare  but you could always use it for an extra excursion one not covered by O Life

Since I'm with a "major Wall Street firm", I cannot comment on any specific stocks or securities.  But I think I can say that the 12-month low for NCLH appears to be $10.31.  So based upon what I see, it does not appear that the company reached the $9 level.  You might be thinking about CCL, which has a 12-month low of $8.70 per share.

You're welcome...not the most obvious when trying to find. Mauibabes probably has the best use of credit that will otherwise go unused...a mani/pedi will pretty much wipe out $100 depending on which one you get. The boutiques might have something (accessories, jewelry, clothing, cool floaty globes, etc.) that either you or someone you buy presents for would like (early b'day shopping!). The spa also has hair/skin products and clothes. How about an Oceania robe?

Thanks for the correction....  either way there was a lot of folks that bought in at 18-22-25 a share for a   100-250 a cruise.... and today got their butt handed to them .   A short sighted  poor investment for long term stability.    Wrong reason to invest in my book..... risk loosing thousands to make pennys.

But it does exclude pre-booked tours so I would have to wait til I was on board and hope there was room left.

When you complete this form and the appropriate proof of shareholder ownership, send the form to:

shareholderbenefit@oceaniacruises.com

I had initially sent it to NCL, which was incorrect.  It's not like RCCL, where they use one contact for all of their brands in terms of shareholder benefits.

FWIW, just received a message that requests for shareholder credit must be submitted within 15 days of sailing, as one has to be an NCL shareholder at the time of sailing.

I submitted my paperwork 60 days out and got the credit in 2 days.

From whence did this message come?  I've just now checked NCL's website.  It says, "...simply complete the attached Shareholder Benefit Request Form and mail or email (with accompanying documentation) request at least 15 days prior to sailing."  That's exactly the opposite of "within 15 days of sailing."  https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/nclhltd/files/documents/Shareholder+Benefit+Offer.pdf

It looked to me as if I should submit to NCL, so I did that.  After several weeks, NCL kicked it back and said to send the shareholder benefit request to Oceania, only with no e-mail address provided.

Called Oceania and got the e-mail address and then submitted the form and documentation as instructed by Oceania.  2 days later it was rejected with a note to provide the form "no later than 15 days prior to sailing".  The sailing isn't for quite a while, but it's certainly not "later than 15 days prior to sailing".  If I'm understanding their wording, as long as you're not within 15 days you should be good.

In my view, they ought to just add the OBC to the booking like the other cruise lines do, as it's a bit annoying, but whatever.

They added mine for oct 1 cruise. As usual, it depends who is processing it.

When is your cruise?

If your TA can’t give you a correct answer dump him now and get one that knows , you can only send in your SB at 60 days or less

It is so annoying that these rules have to be “discovered’. I knew that SB requests had to be sent in more than 15 days prior to embarkation, but it is the first time I have heard the 60 day or less rule. 
A customer based business should have a clear policy which is readily available - especially to shareholders.

‘And how hard is it to send a reply to SB requests saying, “your SB request has been received and you will receive a reply within 10 business days”? My request went in more than 3 weeks ago and no reply from Oceania. My TA has been trying to track it down and she is getting the run around.

In my experience this is typical and someone should clean house.

My experience has been different.  After Final Payment, I submitted my forms via a single email for two different booking numbers, which were for B2B cruises.  My submission was March 23 for cruises of Oct. 18 and Nov. 11.  Well, it was my mistake to include multiple booking numbers on the same email submittal.  Only the Oct. 18 cruise received the Shareholder Benefit three weeks later.  I then followed-up with another email for the second cruise of Nov. 11.  Three weeks later it also had the NCLH benefit posted.  So, I am unaware of any 60-day rule, unless it is a recent development.

Thanks for that information.  I had sent my form to NCL; hopefully my form will arrive in time as I sail on 21 July.

I originally sent to NCL in June per a posting on here back then.  They never responded to tell me I needed to send it elsewhere so it wasn't until I saw the post this week that I quickly sent it again to Oceania (one day before the deadline, whew).

[Daniel A]

How soon can you apply for the Shareholder OBC?  I know they want it at least 15 days before sailing, but what is the beginning of the window period?

 

Thanks
