Jadn13 Posted May 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hi All Can anyone confirm what reduced rates are not qualified for the share holder benefit? Has anyone received this benefit while using a casino rate? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted May 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2021 IIRC, casino rates do not qualify. Travel Agent rates do not qualify. Friends & Family rates do not qualify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbles Posted May 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I have always received Shareholder OBC when cruising under a casino rate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suekel Posted May 17, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2021 There is no reduced rate for having stock, just OBC depending on the length of the cruise. I have always been able to get it while on a casino booking, even the free cruises. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, in the terms it states that reduced rate bookings do not qualify for the share holder OBC but doesn’t go into specifics of which exact rates those are. Thanks for the note about free cruises because I have a few booked. Edited May 17, 2021 by Jadn13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten the Shareholders' OBC for casino reduced rate, but never for a comp'd cruise--I've tried and always gotten an email saying it isn't authorized with a comp' cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadn13 Posted May 18, 2021 Author #9 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Seems it’s subjective, I’ll submit for all my cruises and hope for the best but understand that some may be denied. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird. I got $250 for my Hawaii cruise in December. Maybe it's because we pay to upgrade the cabin offered? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have gathered, when you upgrade on a free cruise you pay some $$ which keeps ypu from being denied the shareholder credit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying here is that people said they don't get the OBC for a comped cruise. All they pay is taxes and fees. What I mean is that maybe because I choose to upgrade and they get some $$ out of me is why they give me the shareholder OBC. There has to be a reason why I get it and others don't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike45LC Posted May 19, 2021 #15 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I have always gotten the Shareholders On Board Credit, but like suekel, I have also always upgraded the cabin (and it is not a cheap upgrade to mini-suite or club class, even at casino rates!). I think Jadn's surmise seems right! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you? All are a certain percentage of off the list price, which no one ever pays. I have always received my stock OBC and my Veterans OBC no matt how much the discount was. You say you have a few booked. You need to file for the Stock discount for any cruise you ahve booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadn13 Posted June 27, 2021 Author #18 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Since I started this thread I thought I would update it with my experience. I have 3 casino cruises booked all are comped cabins and one I upgraded. I received shareholder OBC for all 3. It’s definitely worth the 3 minutes to submit (email) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grego Posted June 27, 2021 #20 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Sorry i'm late in seeing this thread and some of the above posts are correct so I'll put mine in as well. The SHB is not tied into whatever the fare discounting or other perks are. It is solely based upon your ownership of CCL stock and that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple7tahoe Posted June 27, 2021 #21 Share Posted June 27, 2021 So glad it all worked out--I was going to add that I had 5 cruises (casino) and 7 non casino still out there and have gotten OBC for all of them 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
