susiesan Posted September 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Since I have 2 cruises coming up on Oceania I went ahead and bought 100 shares of NCLH to get the $100 per cruise shareholder OBC. I have the form I need to send in to get the OBC credit applied to my sailing. It says " the owner of the shares will receive the onboard credit". The problem may be how I purchased the shares. I have a corporate Fidelity account that bought the 100 shares. When I send in the broker statement it won't have my name on it, but the name of my company. I am the owner of the company. Will Oceania deny me the shareholder credit because of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff-FLL Posted September 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'd give it a try. Submit the Fidelity statement showing that the company owns the stock, and include the corporate documents that show you own 100% of the company. The worst they can do is say no. I can't imagine them going that route since so many folks these days move their assets into trusts, calling into question the titled ownership versus practical ownership.

If I had purchased the stock in my other Fidelity account, that is a trust and the same issue would come up of ownership. Hopefully O will be reasonable and do the right thing and OK the OBC, it's only a $100. Any idea what phone number to call about thisto see what documents O needs to see to prove ownership of the company? This is not a simple thing to come up with.

Yes but many family trusts will have your last name in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the OBC as your OLife perk - there is no monetary advantage and you are lending $ to Oceania, interest free. 2. Book a cruise through Oceania and fail to follow up with a TA to see what value-added benefits she can add if you transfer your booking to her. - often if not always you will get great perks from the TA like OBC, free gratuities, money back. 3. Assume that Oceania Air is a deal or that it provides guarantees that you will make your cruise. Unless you add more money you will arrive on the day of the cruise on an airline of their choosing and a routing of their choosing. No guarantees of making the ship either. At least ask your TA if she can do better. and an added one: 4. Never book an Oceania hotel. Often it is twice the price with the pricing being per person. Check the same hotel through the hotel’s own website or one of the major consolidator companies. Have you got other things not to do? 2 hours ago, susiesan said: Since I have 2 cruises coming up on Oceania I went ahead and bought 100 shares of NCLH to get the $100 per cruise shareholder OBC.

ncarb Posted September 21, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Submit the form with brokerage statement plus some evidence that you are the sole owner of the corporation. If they say no, go up the line with supervisors and Duke it out. They are tight with money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cape Hernlopen Posted September 21, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Dear Susiesan: I own my 100 shares of NCL in a Trust Account and have received the OBC twice with no questions asked. Both times it was for longer cruises and I received the $250 OBC. Joel Barry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFHFLOYD Posted September 26, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 26, 2022 if it's a corporation, the corp tax return has the name and percentage share of the owners you could send that with the pertinent names showing and the numbers redacted.

Rare mauibabes Posted September 27, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 27, 2022 On the O website for Shareholder benefits I think it mentions Combining SBC with the Shareholder. Benefit. IMHO, I would always submit for the Shareholder benefits and be happy with the outcome because you can never have too much SBC. Again, IMHO.

Also, what do you mean by SBC? One memo from Norwegian (found in a third-party website, not Oceania or Norwegian website) says shareholder OBC is “not combinable with other offers.” I am not sure how the term “other offerers” are defined. It would be really stupid of Oceania if they consider OLife Choice as one of the “other offers” since that would effectively make shareholder benefit virtually useless.
