No, they would not. Only the broker would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you only need to own 100 shares. We do this when we take my in laws on a cruise. We send the requests a couple days apart just so the person doing the OBC doesn't think it's a duplicate request for the same cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate to see people not spend it on the ship. We occasionally do indulge but most times we just remove it. I don't view the OBC as money to be spent. It's real dollars to me & I treat it as such.

We are a family of 5, which will require 2 cabins. CCL stock is just in hubby's name. I'm wondering if we can get OBC on both cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed my shareholder OBC form this afternoon and it showed up on my booking within 30 minutes…they even sent me a new booking confirmation with the OBC line itemized…could Princess be upping their customer service? I sent it in two days ago but haven't received anything yet other than an automatic reply saying that it might take them 21 days to get back to me.

I doubt I'll drink 15 drinks the entire cruise, much less each day. I'm just waiting for my husband to insist he needs internet to keep up with work.

We have one more cruise with the plus package and that's it for us. We once though it was a good deal but after trying it a number of times have come to realize that we just succumbed to the advertising & people posting how great it is. It's a struggle to get to 15 drinks a day and having the unlimited internet is no bargain since 99% of our emails are junk anyway and we can live without streaming programs.

So for those who do not have elite status perks it is a pretty good deal. The 2 bottles of wine you can bring on don't go very far on a 1 night cruise, much less 7 or more nights. As a working stiff, I rarely drink during the week, but a few drinks with dinner out and a few more when I get home on the weekends is easy to do. On Vacation? 4-6 glasses of wine between pre-dinner at 5-6 pm and midnight is easy to do. No driving involved 🤪.

All depends....I wont be drinking 4 glasses of wine the entire cruise, let alone 4 per day! Works for many.....not so much for others. Worked for us at $40/day, we kept it at $50/day. Back to pay as we go at $60/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me say that we use Rum Runners which gives us practically all we need for a 10 day cruise and we restock up on turnaround day. Mixers are free at the buffet & we keep them in the fridge. Wine is also refillable every turnaround and also at just about every port we stop at as is liquor is needed. We hardly drink as much as you do usually only a glass of wine at dinner & a mixed drink for the show- never 4 or more glasses with a meal or we would be asleep before 9 PM at our age. Sounds like the package was made for you but $1,200 for a 10 day cruise is quite a bit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So each co-owner (in 2 different cabins) emails the details separately? My spouse and I are in different cabins with our minor children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
