frankandjill Posted March 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2015 We will be on the Star from June 5, 2015 to June 26, 2015 and have applied for the $250 onboard credit for owning 100 shares of NCLH. Has anyone else applied for this and were there any problems? http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-5WOY6H/0x0x681828/4AF17A4F-D574-4094-BDE8-5AD5FA288377/blankPDF.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weloverunning Posted March 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Never a problem. However, the OBC cannot be used for daily service charge or casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunaman2011 Posted March 11, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Greetings Just wondering if you can still get the shareholder credit if you also have the free UBP (or free dining package, etc). Celebrity (RCCL) will not give you the shareholder credit when you have another of their "free" additions. Good Sailing Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weloverunning Posted March 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We were not able to use our AARP discount with it. The AARP was $24 so we gave that up to get the $100. We had a choice to keep the AARP, give up the Shareholders, and they would give us dinner at Cagneys. Didn't think the dinner was worth the $76 difference.

And cannot be combine with promotion like AARP discount. Instead you will get dinner for 2 at Cagney + bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weloverunning Posted March 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Gerry: They added the $250 OBC for cruises of 14 days or more the week after we got back from our 14 day cruise.:mad: SJB: We already get two free dinners for being platinum so we took the $100.

abbyar Posted March 11, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Wait, I haven't heard of this? How does it work? When do you show proof of ownership? This is so cool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust... Posted March 11, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 11, 2015 In the fine print, it says you have the option to take the shareholder benefit or "other offer." Does that mean you wouldn't get the Freestyle Choice (UDP, UBP, etc.) offer if you wanted the shareholder benefit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyar Posted March 11, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 11, 2015 That's what I'm wondering too. If I can add the obc without impacting other offers it will be worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xriva Posted March 12, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I asked for the shareholder credit when we had the ODP, so the dinner didn't really buy us anything, except for the bottle of wine. It was not very clear how to claim a free dinner when all dinners were already "free" from the ODP. There is a form and instructions on the shareholder information page on NCL.com. You have to own100+ shares of NCLH, the holding company for NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfaaa Posted March 12, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Let's see. $50 x 100 shares = $500 + brokerage commission. In return, you get $100OBC. Does it sound like a good deal to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrobstad Posted March 12, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) It was a great deal for me! I bought at $30 in October, I think. It's now around $50, and I got three OBC for planned cruises, despite being upgraded (maybe I should say in addition to) and AARP rate. Plus, that department is swift and efficient!

Great to hear! It must have been recently changed. As a matter of fact I did point this anomaly out to the shareholders benefit department a few months ago because I am booked on a b2b (as one booking) 31 day South America in Nov 2015. They had told me they would look into how to provide for longer cruises. And I am glad to see they have indeed done that! I see they have also now included the 2 other cruiselines they have recently acquired to the benefits.

abbyar Posted March 12, 2015 #24 Share Posted March 12, 2015 $50x100 shares is $5K, but if one is already invested in ncl, then there's no change. Likewise, one could buy ncl shares on the last day of the month, then sell first day of the next month. Assuming the price holds steady, it would cost me only $15 for the two transactions, or it might go up enough to offset the transaction fee. The $5K is not a sunk cost.
