SunnySummer Posted June 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hello! I just found out about shareholder benefits but have question. I did send the question to their email but just got a standard auto email reply. We booked our cruise (sailing June 2024) in December 2022. When I go to the shareholder benefits page, it appears you just have to be a shareholder at the time of sailing. But under restrictions it says "Shareholder benefit offer applies to bookings made on or after June 1, 2023."I don't understand. It appears this program has been in place for a number of years (as I found postings for it in this forum) but if it applies to booking after June 1, 2023, then I don't qualify. Am I mis-understanding? How did other people take advantage of this if you had to have booked after June 1, 2023 (that was just 17 days ago!)

You can apply as soon as you book regardless of when the cruise sails. Edited June 18, 2023 by Ourusualbeach 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlbecker1 Posted June 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Sometimes I get a confirmation and sometimes not. I also submit it right after booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seville2Cabo Posted June 19, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I always apply for the OBC as soon as I make the booking - Yes, we've been up to 2 years out. No reason to wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinisgood Posted January 13 #14 Share Posted January 13 I just resubmitted for the third time! first time said the reservation number was missing, It was there. Then they wanted statements no more then 90 days. They were fine. Just sent my year-end in the online form and through the email they sent my denial from. So frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
