NCL stock purchase question

[justhappy]

My husband and I want to purchase NCLH stock, not just for the OBC but as an investment. We have all our assets in a trust that has both our names on the trust. Does anyone here know, or have experience if that would be a problem with trying to get the obc?

We submitted an inquiry about that to NCL but got a generic reply to submit our stock purchase info via the form to get onboard credit.

As long as you are able to submit a statement, showing # shares, and with your name on it, it should be ok.  Note, the shareholder credit is per stateroom.. If you are both sailing in the room, it will be just one obc., same as if you are sailing solo.  You won't both get the full obc.

Thanks for the info, I did know it would be only per stateroom.

I'm 100% certain you will get the obc if you have a statement in your name with the shares listed.

It does not matter what type of account it is.

Shareholder Benefit Request Form.pdfThe request form tells you what's required.

Would there be an electronic form fillable pdf somewhere or does it actually require - "print , fill , sign,  scan" and then email the form?

 

I've searched and I can't find one ... seems odd

also remember, the Shareholder OBC amount varies on the length of the cruise.  AND it is non-refundable, cannot be used for gratuities at the end of the cruise or in the Casino.  I usually just buy some $20.00 watches ( watch batteries have gotten pretty expensive these days)

NO electronic form.  You have to print out the form, fill it out, scan it back into your computer and send off to the email address on the form.  It takes about 1 week for the OBC to appear in your summary. I always send mine off after final payment is made.

its not that time consuming.  Remember to back out your account number.  I don't sed the entire Shareholders stamens. I just send the one page that has my name, amount of shares owned. On this coming up cruise ( 15 night), I received a $250.00 OBC   .

No not a big deal. 

 

We became printer-less about a year ago, so this it just requires me to hoof it to the library to print 🙂

how can you live without a printer?  that's almost like being off the grid.

Haha ..no need for a printer anymore. Most things (legal) can be docusigned electronically.

 

Got tired of having to buy a new ink cartridge every a year just to print cruise luggage tags. I don't think any young people have printers anymore .. makes us feel youthful!

If you have access to full Adobe, you can edit/fill in the form on your computer.  Also if you have a ReMarkable, you would also be able to fill in the form without printing it.  NCL really should get with the times and make a form you can just fill in on your computer though.

 

I also do not own a printer. 

[Ellis1138]

I found that I could just print the form out once and fill it out in pencil, scan that into my computer, and it worked fine. Similar to a ReMarkable, I guess. (I didn't have access to a pdf editor.)

I'll 2nd that you can fill it out electronically and send it in.  I do it this way with no problems.  I also have no need for a printer, although if I had to I could print/sign/scan it at work.

Thanks! 

 

We were able to edit the forms and have now just sent it in  🙂

 

We're retired - the only thing we miss about work is that easy access to printing without having to buy ink cartridges 😄

uughh? Aww, come on, there is no need for uughh. Remember, you are an OWNER of the company. Don't uughh something you don't like, work to CHANGE IT.

just know that the NCL section in this article has some incorrect information.  the biggest being that you can't combine the shareholder credit with other NCL offers.  I've received the credit while also getting the free at sea offers, my 10% military discount, as well as random discounts that show up in my latitudes account

Yup.  Me too.  I’ve even gotten it on “comped” cruises from CAS.  I’ve never heard of anyone being denied as long as they have the proof of ownership.  The only glitch I’ve had was providing a brokerage statement dated more than 90 days prior to the date of submission of the request.  I had just used the same redacted statement I used for a previous crUise.  All I had to do was print and redact a current statement and email it back.  The OBC posted within 24 hours.

The "other" NCL offers has to do with things like employee/TA discounts, not FAS, etc.

 

They have updated the wording - it now says "Benefit is non-transferable, excludes Reduced Rate programs (e.g. employee rates, interline, friends /family rates, vendor rates, cruises taken via cruise credit certificate, or free cruises earned through Oceania Cruises loyalty benefits), and travel agent rates, and charters."

I have the ability to complete the form online and save as a pdf.  Yeah, you have to sign, but they'll accept anything.  I even used a mouse signature (didn't have a touchscreen.)  No issues.

So you need to have a 90 day old statement? I’ve been keeping an eye on the stock price to see if it drops enough for me to bite because I have two cruises coming up, but the first of these is in less than 90 days. The form doesn’t say anything about 90 days. Did you find this info elsewhere?
