Thrak Posted October 6, 2020 #101 Share Posted October 6, 2020 10 hours ago, caribill said: One thing to consider when deciding to book a B2B as one or two cruises. When sales occur, they may occur for just one of the segments and not apply to a B2B booked as a single cruise. We ended up cancelling but were booked for a 48 day cruise around South America. I wanted the Sip and Sail and they said no way so I booked it as segments and then Princess was happy to give me the promo. Worked out much better as far as OBC anyway.

Rare CineGraphic Posted October 6, 2020 #102 Share Posted October 6, 2020 My first experience emailing a shareholders benefits request resulted in the OBC being posted within minutes. This time around it took about a week. Not kvetching, just stating the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally applied very quickly but the requests were sent in last week and there's still no OBC posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go beyond the week timeframe I may revert to the old FaxZero route. Edited October 7, 2020 by azbirdmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinCouple2010 Posted October 8, 2020 #105 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Sent email on Monday and nothing posted to date. Perhaps it will take a full week as someone else mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathi Posted October 16, 2020 #108 Share Posted October 16, 2020 How are you guy's confirming the credit on your account? Via the travel summary, or do they send an email etc when they apply it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for some reason it is not extended as usually happens in late February or early March, then any OBC given for cruises after 6/30/21 will simply be deleted.

When cruising restarts, they will need all the cruisers they can get to book and stockholder OBC is a carrot to attract a number of passengers.

cheone Posted October 26, 2020 #118 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I just looked at my credits for my Feb Cruise, the Shareholder credit dropped off. Called Princess and asked them why my Shareholder OBC was not on my account. After a 5 minute delay, the Shareholder OBC was restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racj846 Posted October 27, 2020 #119 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If a booking starts with a guarantee cabin and shareholder credit is requested it will be applied to your account. However when you are subsequently assigned a cabin, your account 'loses' the benefit. I mention this from personal experience a few weeks ago when booking excursions, only to find the amount of OBC to be appled had reduced by $250 which was the amount of my benefit. Resubmitting the forms resolved the issue and the benefit was restored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resubmitting the forms resolved the issue and the benefit was restored I have never had it drop off when I have had a GTY and then a cabin was assigned and even then another cabin. I have had it drop off when a cruise was repriced. There is no need to resubmit the form if this happens. As cheone did, just call Princess (even if booked with a TA) and they can restore the credit as they can see in the record that it had been applied once to that cruise.
