DallasGuy75219 Posted September 6, 2022 #51 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Got confirmation email 1 hour and 14 minutes after sending last night for a January 2023 cruise. However, nothing on the November 2022 cruise I requested in the same email so I'll have to follow up on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before the final payment date. I believe things changed a little after Princess started requiring excursions to be paid in advance. The change allowed people to use the Shareholder credit for their excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabbyRose Posted September 7, 2022 #53 Share Posted September 7, 2022 My brokerage statement shows a lot of information that I really don't want to share. The Carnival stock entry appears on the second page of my statement. Other than the account number, can I black out all the other stock entries and balances?

If your name is on p2 just submit that page. That’s what I did. I submitted the OBC request by email on Labor Day and my account was credited about an hour later. I didn’t expect it that quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabbyRose Posted September 7, 2022 #56 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Thank you Geomapper for your quick response! Unfortunately, the stock entry is on page 2 and page 2 does not have my name. I'm just going to submit it with almost everything black out and hope they'll approve my request. Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sonomaphil Posted September 7, 2022 #57 Share Posted September 7, 2022 It must be random then. Submitted yesterday for a cruise in 17 days and nothing as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted September 7, 2022 #58 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I emailed my request yesterday morning for two back-2-back cruises in March of next year. I received an email that the OBC's had been applied at 8:30 pm last night. Amazing! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandG Posted September 13, 2022 #59 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I sent in a request for an early November cruise last Tuesday and I have not received an email confirmation yet, but it showed up on the "payments" page of my cruise by Saturday.

They seem to be very inconsistent with the email's. I received a confirmation (two times) for the first of a B2B cruise but not the second leg. My credit finally showed up but it took a second request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted September 13, 2022 #61 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Definitely inconsistent. Sent in a request on a Sunday and on Monday, two cruises had their credit. Didn't get any emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrongwaywatson Posted September 14, 2022 #63 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I was surprised because mine OBC showed up the next day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreaminofcruisin Posted September 14, 2022 #64 Share Posted September 14, 2022 WOW! Just WOW! I emailed my request last night at 7:04 PM CST. Got the automatic reply saying to allow 21 days for processing. Received another email from Princess at 8:39 PM CST with the title: "Your Princess booking confirmation". I had been doing something else with my booking yesterday, but had already received something with the same title confirming that change. I thought "Now what is this for?" I opened it up and it had my Shareholder OBC included! It looks like Princess finally has this figured out! Yay! If you are emailing your request and you don't get the auto reply, I would suggest you log into Princess and make sure you are allowing emails as I noticed with the whole new bidding process, mine was at "No" and it used to be "Yes", so I think Princess I.T. converted something incorrectly.....Even if you "KNOW" yours is "Yes", go check to be sure....

Chemistry Teach Posted September 14, 2022 #65 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Where do I get the form to request the shareholder benefit OBC? I have tried to search on this site as well as Princess and have come up dry. Finally have Carnival stock and thought I would try for the OBC.

Rare KKB Posted September 15, 2022 #71 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) SUPER frustrated. For our July cruises I put in the request 10 days b4 sailing (had some issues with documentation so was delayed)...Thurs June 30...OBC posted the following Weds. (yep even over the 4th). I made a request Aug. 2 for Sept. 18 cruise. 2nd request Sept. 5 3rd request yesterday. NOTHING. They say expect up to 3 weeks. Fair. But 5 weeks with no response is unacceptable. Yet Dallasguy got response for Dec. cruise less than 24 hours after sending? Aren't they answering requests in the order they arrive? (Hey, I understand a lost email--but THREE??!!)

Rare sonomaphil Posted September 16, 2022 #72 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Wow, just took a shot in the dark and submitted for my March 2024 cruise. Credit posted within 6 hours. And an FYI I learned for those who have issues, do not submit via Gmail piggy backing to another email address using the "Send Mail As". Doing this my emails never get through as Princess servers do not seem to like this set up. As soon as I resubmitted from my normal email client it worked fine.

Are you including: Your Name Ship Name Booking # Sail Date AND attaching a copy of a fairly current statement from your brokerage showing the 100+ shares of Carnival stock? Are you sending it to sbpcl@princesscruises.com Very odd that this is happening when you have already been successful in the past..... Did you check your booking and see if it got applied even though you haven't received an email indicating this? Really a strange thing....that's all I can think of....
