cessnabmw Posted June 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Has anyone had any issues or delays getting a Shareholder Credit applied? Last year we got a response in one day. For his year, we just booked a Dec cruise, sent in the request almost a week ago and no response.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted June 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Might be too early for your December cruise. Only had one issue and it was fixed. There was a question whether or not our cruise fare was eligible. It was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_cam Posted June 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think they tell you up to 72 hours... I need to apply for mine for the Sept and Feb cruises this week. For the past few cruises, I've done it by email with an attached PDF which I think is better than the fax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love my grandkids Posted June 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2015 We do it by email. Typically takes about 2-3 days. Waiting for our June 30 statement and will be sending it in for upcoming cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcruiselover Posted June 29, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I send mine by fax, and usually get the credit in about 3 days. I got mine for my November cruise about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired_to_Cruise Posted June 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The instructions say to fax it about 14 days before the cruise you want to apply it to. I always do that and get it posted within 2 days. I have a fax cover sheet that has a note on it asking for the OBC, proof of stock ownership from my Wells Fargo manager, and my boarding pass for the cruise. 3 sheets of paper very easy. I cannot understand why they would post the OBC for cruises months in the future when they do not know if you will still own the stock at that time. Would not be a smart thing to do.

Scootercruise Posted June 30, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2015 We were informed in the past, that you can usually only apply inside the 60 day window prior to your cruise. So that;'s what we usually wait for. I will wait until mid July to apply for our September 12 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrobstad Posted June 30, 2015 #17 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yikes! I've faxed proof two days before a NCL cruise and got my OBC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarks Posted June 30, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I faxed mine a few days ago and didn't get anything. I called the # today and the lady on the other end asked me to fax it to her # and she would call me back. After a few attempts, she got it and it was credited to my booking within an hr. of the call. This was for my Feb 21, 2016 cruise. So if you don't hear something in a day or two, call them.

NCTribeFan Posted June 30, 2015 #21 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I always email mine. Once, it was applied in 59 minutes! Most times, it takes a couple of days. I do not send my in months and months early. I'll wait until about August and submit for both my October & November cruises, although that's even a little early for me.

Jana60 Posted July 12, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Has anyone had any issues or delays getting a Shareholder Credit applied? Last year we got a response in one day. For his year, we just booked a Dec cruise, sent in the request almost a week ago and no response.... They need the quarterly statement closest to your cruise date. They will probably require you give them a copy of your 3rd quarter statement which will usually come out at the very beginning of October. My vacation planner with Carnival always sends mine in for me. I cruise at the beginning of October so I should be able to email a copy of the statement I just received since I won't get another before the cruise.

For his year, we just booked a Dec cruise, sent in the request almost a week ago and no response.... we are sailing in Dec. and told not to submit until 2-3 months before sailing, (or after final payment end of Sept.) It is to keep people from buying the stock and then selling before they set sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
