NCL shareholder benefit

[Gatorzzzz]

Mine just posted (4 days since application).

 

My sister got her credit in two days.

[TardisDance]

Mine just posted on my vacation summary as 2x $50 onboard credits.  No email though.  I have Schwab for my brokerage account and printed a copy of all my account holdings and redacted everything except the NCLH share info.  I guess it was good enough.

OBC  from Shareholder benefit just posted yesterday for our two November Epic sailings. 

[lkj1301]

I sent ours in on Tues for our Joy cruise in Dec.  Got confirmation on Wed.

[davidnkim]

I sent ours on Friday, received email yesterday confirming credit, but it isn't posted to my cruise yet.  I have a copy of the email saved if needed once I get to the ship.  Good little perk!

[MaineYachtClub]

I submitted my request on Saturday and received the accepted email on Monday at about 5PM.

Maximum one per cabin.

Yes and no.  You get 1 benefit amount, based on the length of the cruise.  But it might get split between both accounts.

I would like to warn that OBC received as Shareholders Benefit cannot be spent on CruiseNext certificates. I did it in the past but now it is not possible.

I was cruising on Epic on September.

Last I cruised solo, I only got $50.  So I think it's $100 per double occupancy cabin

[greg2014]

I cruised solo several times but always received 100% (f.e. 100 USD for 7-day cruise). I see that NCL probably started to limit this benefit in different ways.

This has been brought up before, with varied answers.  I got $100 on an upcoming cruise with a 50% solo discount but in a regular cabin.  I have a 100% solo discount on another cruise but haven't put in for it yet.  Were you in a solo cabin?

Note that the terms specify that a solo paying 200% fare gets the full amount.

[greg2014]

I remember that got 100 USD when cruised in standard inside cabin with low solo supplement. The same for long cruise (15+ days) - standard inside with no solo supplement and received 250 USD OBC. It was in 2018-2019.

I just read the supporting documentation and what you described would seem to be the case.  I remember being a bit upset that I only got $50 but it looks like the policy has changed.  I sold my shares a while back and just bought back earlier this year so we'll see!

 

[greg2014]

I am afraid that the policy has changed also in other points - although on website there is no information about it. During last cruise (Sep 2021) I could not use OBC given by shareholders benefit for buying CruiseNext certificates - but earlier it was possible and I did it without any problems. It is probably something new - they (GS on Epic) had big problem to explain this, had no documents informing about it and in general - were very unhelpful and rude when I discovered it.

I can confirm the shareholder OBC gets split between the 2 people in the room. That is what was reflected on our accounts for our Sept Gem sailing.

for a solo staying a cabin, do i get 50 dollars or 100?

I booked through CAS so was in a balcony (IIRC) by myself and the supplement is typically waived.

You should get the full $100.  I just sent my email with documents this morning and by this afternoon I has received the confirming email, and the $100 was loaded onto my reservation.  I am a solo in a balcony.

This is what just showed up on my account as well split between the 2 people.  Put in for it for the first time last Friday, by Monday money was on account.

We could not use Shareholder OBC for CruiseNext on October 24 Bliss cruise out of Los Angeles. 

 

After I returned I talked to NCLH about this. They said that Shareholder OBC cannot be used to purchase promotional items. CruiseNext and CruiseFirst are considered promotional items. I asked them to update their web site to reflect this so no one is surprised.

On the Bliss now.  Stockholder credit received but not applied to cruise next purchase.  I guess it is time to sell.  Why hold NCLH when they offer no dividends.  As a long time solo NCL cruiser I don't need any more on board gifts.

That's a bummer.

 

For our upcoming transatlantic sailing, Italy/NCL doesn't allow 3rd party tours.  There's is a tour to Florence on the first day after embarkation.  I'm afraid that if I don't book ahead it might be filled.  If I book ahead it's expensive (almost cad$600 for 2 of us) and I need to pay now and cannot make use of the US$400 OBC (250 shareholder, and another 150 for NCL cancelling a port)

    

Now I cannot use that U$400 to buy CN certs.
