Not a good reason as it is a marketing tool with almost no cost to them. Note they did renew it again, so their Board of Directors sees it the same way I do.

I also get the military benefit and our investment account is in both our names, I requested that the shareholder benefit be put in DW names. We use these benefits for excursions. We got the benefit, but it's not in DW name, we tried several times via emails, but to no avail. We had no problem in the past. That shouldn't be a problem, if both of your onboard accounts are on the same credit card. They just add everything up, and subtract everything and charge the final total. They subtract against non-refundable first, then refundable. If you have refund due, a check will be mailed to the credit card holder. It takes about six weeks and comes in a non-descript envelope. Don't throw anything away without checking for your refund check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess did it on our last cruise and it worked Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound rude but does it really matter if the benefit is in your name or hers. You both can use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You both can use it. The last Princess cruise that we booked ended up cancelled during the Covid shutdown. I prebooked transfers back to Heathrow that included a stop in Stonehenge (which made it listed as an excursion). The customer service representative would not let me use what was left over from my shareholder OBC for DW's trip back. I realize I could have called back and quite possibly another customer service representative would have, but I just figured we'd use the few dollars left in OBC on the cruise anyhow.

We are just off the Royal. We have also applied the credit to 2 future cruises. My experience is the credit is in one name and only that person can use Also went to book an excursion for a July crusie. Even though i have credit left, my better half needed to pay. This is good to know as when i move to apply a GC(s) to OBC may need to split that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always vote no to allowing political contributions even though I know my vote won't matter. But as you said, it feels good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
