Rare luv2kroooz Posted June 18 #2 Share Posted June 18 I would like to know this too. I have an email from SheerID stating my eligiblity for the offer had been verified, but there is nothing showing online in my booking and nothing from HAL. Emailed guest relations and received a case number a week ago, but no response. How hard could it be to show the OBC in the Navigator App? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call and ask for an updated booking confirmation - OBC will show on it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmodog Posted June 19 #4 Share Posted June 19 Trying to get AARP SBC has reached the point of ridiculous, always told to reapply always get message I’ve already done it, then they tell my TA, they don’t see it. It’s such a confusing mess just like trying to book a table for 4 with your complimentary dinners, don’t think it can be done, both myself and TA have tried and only can book a table for 2. Their website needs someone to work on it that knows what they are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFan Posted June 19 #6 Share Posted June 19 If you ask 10 people at HAL, you’ll get 11 different answers. They have no clue what they’re doing with this. Same is true with the teacher/first responder OBC. We assumed we weren’t getting it on our April cruise, but lie and behold it was there when we got onboard the ship! Now we have 3 more upcoming cruises and can’t get a definitive answer on any of them. I’m taking my Sheet ID emails showing were verified and will ask at the desk once onboard if it’s not there. TA tells me that HAL told him he couldn’t get it added and the passenger had to. I’ve been verified but don’t know how to add it. I asked the future cruise consultant in April and she said it was no problem, just have your TA add it for you. Very frustrating! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacefulOR Posted June 19 #7 Share Posted June 19 It is possible to get an updated statement showing the obc from AARP if you are working with a HAL cruise consultant. Ours did it within minutes after the request. Outside TAs may be another story but theoretically should be able to do the same. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the summary we receive from our TA: Advantage Fares - No Perks Deposit is refundable until final payment. $100 onboard credit per stateroom from Military. $ 75 onboard credit per stateroom from Group Program. $200 onboard credit per stateroom from AARP Program. $400 onboard credit per stateroom added prior to sailing as our gift. Total onboard credit - $775 per stateroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiner6 Posted June 20 #15 Share Posted June 20 I did the Military verification online, but was told that I am not eligible because I booked it online through a Casino offer sent to me by my TA. Will this also apply to my AARP and my stock certificate verification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayW Posted June 21 #16 Share Posted June 21 Can AARP be added to an existing booking for OBC? I called and was told it would have to be added within 72 hrs after the booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we book a sailing and are offered a complimentary cabin from the Casino, we have not been able to apply AARP, Teacher's, or Stockholder OBC. However, if we book a sailing and receive a "Casino Discount," which has usually been a percentage off the cruise fare, then we have been able to add all of those OBC to our sailing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do the AARP verification on the HAL website and receive a SheerID verification email? IF not, that's your first step. Then wait about a week and ask HAL for a booking confirmation and the OBC should show on the booking confirmation. It was all automagic in my experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not sure if AARP is worded differently) I called ship services this afternoon for husband and myself on one reservation number and my sister as a single in her own cabin. We did all the verifications a few weeks ago, a few months after our initial bookings. Ship services confirmed the $200 AARP, military for DH, stock holder and educator for me. They also confirmed my sister has teacher and AARP. And they took care of a la carte dining reservations for the three of us. Somewhere in the OBCs were anniversary and a state credit. Plus the shorex , crew appreciation Wi-Fi and beverage program. And out TAs credit will post after final payment. DH asked what I planned to do with all the $$$. Everyone is getting a Dutch vase for Christmas! Darcy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called ship services at 800–541-1576 then a brief menu follows.i think I pressed 3 which is for dinner reservations etc for our future cruise That’s the number that mariner desk gave me because I also wanted to do the 2 HIA dinner reservations using both cabins res numbers. Oh and they do ask a few specific security questions to confirm your identity and protect the booking. Otherwise mariner desk can also confirm the applied perks. Their number is 800-547-9139 Darcy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
