Not necessarily. Since we are allowed to submit via email now it goes directly to someone's desk (maybe more than one) where the fax might have gone to a fax machine someone had to check now and then.

Where do we email the proof of ownership to, please, Rich? We haven't done that before, always faxed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sambamama Posted July 5, 2021 #38 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) I'm glad to hear that as I bought my shares at $40 a share so I am considerably under water on the cost. Of course, I have made up the difference in shipboard credit over the years. Edited July 5, 2021 by sambamama correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted July 5, 2021 #40 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Out of interest, I noticed that the Shareholder OBC for our cancelled September 26, 2021 cruise is showing up on the replacement October 2022 cruise. I expected that HAL would claw back the OBC and tell me to reapply when the promotion is renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the faith, sister! I endured the disaster during the Great Recession and ought to have bought more. The recovery period is likely to be longer than 2008-2009, but the stock's price will recover. At least, that's what my crystal ball tells me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgev Posted July 6, 2021 #43 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Is there a "window" beyond the minimum of 3 weeks for submitting the proof of ownership? (A maximum time prior to the cruise) Edited July 6, 2021 by jimgev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too easy to forget 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmcfad2 Posted July 6, 2021 #47 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I just submitted a request on Saturday for our two upcoming cruises, one in September and one in December. I received credit and confirmation for both this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie201 Posted July 6, 2021 #48 Share Posted July 6, 2021 We are on what I believe is called a "Collectors Cruise" in February. 18 days Hawaii, and 7 days Mex Riviera. They are sold as separate cruises, but we have booked it as one 25 day cruise. Would we be entitled to OBC for each leg (which would I believe be $250 and $100), or just the $250? I'm happy with anything - but would like to know before I ask what I can expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on that cruise, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
