There isn't a concierge lounge on Grand, or any Grand class ship's or Island/coral, etc 

Concierge Lounge only in Royal class and newer. 

So if Im in a penthouse suite ….

What deck (where) is it located ??

Thanks ….

On Discovery, which DR is used for reserve collection dining ??

Once submitted and approved/verified …. Can you use the same information without re-applying for SHOBC with other Carnival (HAL) lines for future cruises ??  OR am I just dreaming about a simpler life …

Are your responses coming from Princess or StockPerks ??

Looks like you haven't submitted a request for your cruise yet. Has your portfolio been approved yet? That's the first step, then you can apply for OBC for a specific cruise.

I fully respect the members of cruise critic that want a choice of submission, but this really worked for us.  
Seemed simple to use, minimal information required.

And they applied credit within the 5 working days that they promised and a whopping 6 months in advance!

Being a UK shareholder the benefits team were brutally efficient at enforcing the rule of being within 90 days of sailing before accepting request.  
Terms of business on App state that Stock Perks will request benefit from Princess for sailings up to 31st July 2024 at moment.

Princess even updated the booking confirmation immediately.

In the app, go to the tab that says "Redeemed", then click on the Princess Cruises listing.

Downloaded the app, got my stock holdings approved pretty quickly. Submitted on Sunday for a December cruise, now its just saying "In Progress" so far. We'll see what happens! 

Where do you see ‘in progress’ ??

Used Alinea -- got immediate response "checking availability"..........

Just one thing:  there was no where for me to input my cruise information !!

Oh, this "system" is going to need some work 😞

As I posted yesterday, I submitted with the new process on Wednesday last week by just uploading my brokerage statement showing ownership, name and date.   Received acknowledgement of submission with a response to request within 5 business days.   Tuesday afternoon I received email the OBC was posted to my account.   This was for a 2025 cruise.

Can’t understand - aren’t you supposed to show ownership NINETY DAYS prior to sailing …. That’s the time frame I’ve always used and (old school warning) sent in request by FAX

Lucky you!  I'm still waiting for the app to approve the redacted brokerage statement that I submitted yesterday.  I may need to find another way to get this done if the app doesn't update.  At least I have some time as the cruise isn't until next April.

Next April ??  Yikes — cruising next month & still no response 😟

Heard there is a new system for requesting stockholders OBC … any information ??

Heard there is a new ‘system’ to submit and request …any information ??

Do the gift shops sell alcohol ??  

We are looking at a P & O cruise next year from Southampton BUT can't find a website in the US to make the reservation.

Could any Americans here advise me how to do this ??

Thank You

How does this affect Ocean Terrace pricing ??

Is there a way to book online from the US ??

Thanks...........

Looking at E727 — will this location be a noise problem from deck below ??

We are in our mid-70's; we will be doing both cruises and land vacations in the coming year.  We basically want good coverage BUT not all the additional "bells & whistles" ....... any suggestions/recommendations for which companies ??

Thank You, BettyNL

PLAT & mini-suite......where do I have access ??

The crew will tell you that you have to go to the buffet.  They will not tell you that there is a MDR 

Exactly … they always try to steer you to the buffet BUT those in the know, know an MDR is open !!

Other than the buffet …. Are any of the sit down dining rooms open ??

Or is Blue Lane ‘priority’ boarding ??
