windsor26 Posted June 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I wonder if anyone knows the answer for me We have been getting the loyalty bonus for a few years and now have booked a cruise which goes over 2 segments. We booked it as one and note on our account with Princess it is showing s 2 credits - great - I am told this will give us 2 refrigerator fills but will we get two loyalty bonuses? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance It’s been my experience that the loyalty credits are based on how we book a cruise unlike the minibar & cruise credits which are based on how many cruises are included within a longer cruise booking. We have a 28-day booking that can be booked as 7-7-14 days so we’ll receive 3 cruise credits & minibars but only 1 loyalty credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted June 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Since you booked it as one cruise, you only get one Loyalty Credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted June 15, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 15, 2019 5 minutes ago, Level six said: What is the loyalty credit and when do you get it? Captain's Circle Loyalty OBC/cabin based on the number of cruise credits. Starting at cruise 21, from 21 to 31 you receive $25. From 32 to 41, $50. From 42 to 51, $75. 52 and over $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level six Posted June 15, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Thanks, I did not know that. I get shareholders and I am 10 days from elite, but I had never heard of the loyalty OBC. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted June 15, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The best part is that you get loyalty OBC for even the shortest trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year we're on the 35 day Tahiti- Fort Lauderdale cruise that could have been booked as a 10 and a 25. We booked it as a 35 day. I never thought about it before but the OP's post has me wondering if we'll get 2 shareholder credits or one?

(I figured we'd only get one - just like the loyalty but it would potentially be a lot more money than the loyalty ) Shareholder (also military & FCD credits) is based on how a cruise is booked. Like my 28-day booking that can be booked as 7-7-14 days you’ll only receive one shareholders credit...$150/pp. If you want to request the SOBC it’s been my experience that we can now apply long before a cruise...did it as far as nearly 2 years in advance for the Sky in November. Although I only apply for it on cruises that I am very unlikely to cancel which for me is usually the case.

Rare geoherb Posted June 15, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Shareholder credit is $50 for cruises up to 6 days, $100 for cruises 7 to 13 days, and $250 for cruises 14 days or longer. So booking the 28 days as 7-7-14 would add up to $450 in shareholder credit versus just $250 if booked as one cruise. And if you're at the higher end of the loyalty credit, you'd get $300 by booking it as three cruises rather than $100 booking it as one. For my upcoming back-to-back cruises, it was a lot cheaper to book the two 7-day cruises than one 14-day cruise. I'm getting $200 in shareholder credit and $50 in loyalty credit for a total of $250. I would have gotten $275 total if I had booked it as one cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted June 15, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Previously the loyalty OBC was not viewable in our Cruise Personalizer but recent posts state we can now view it about 5 days before a cruise where it’s listed with other credits.

phabric Posted June 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Presently I have 20 cruise credits. I have a 14 day cruise booked for Oct which shows I will receive 2 cruise credits when I complete this cruise. This cruise can be taken as 7 or 14 days. When will I receive the loyal bonus, on the first 7 days or the second 7 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say that I book one cabin for me and either a friend or our underage children and a second cabin for my husband and other children and/or friends. We are both Elite and have the same number of cruises. Do BOTH cabins get the Loyalty OBC? Also, if we both had stock would both cabins get stockholder credit?

neverbeenhere Posted June 16, 2019 #22 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Loyalty credit - maybe it is supposed to be per family. But you might both get it stockholder credit- yes you would both get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the first day of your 14 day cruise & since it can be booked as two 7 day cruises you’ll receive a minibar at the beginning of each 7 day segment.
