Rare justhappy Posted September 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crdtrnr Posted September 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tee2Sea Posted September 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2023 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) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about 1 week for the OBC to appear in your summary. I always send mine off after final payment is made. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedRed Posted September 6, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 6, 2023 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. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1138 Posted September 6, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 6, 2023 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.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted September 6, 2023 #16 Share Posted September 6, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
