Are military benefits and stock benefits combinable?

[JJean]

If they are not, can my husband get the military benefit and can I get the stock benefit.

Yes, both my DW and I are veterans and are also able to have SOBC posted to my DW’s account as well. The policy was temporarily stopped this past summer, but that decision was rescinded by PCL later in the fall.

Yes they are both combinable. Here’s what I’m receiving on my next cruise. 
 

 

I’ve been getting them on all of my cruises, 37 with Princess. If I’m on a 14 day cruise that’s $250 for each for a total of $500. Once Princess has your veteran’s information in their system you never have to enter it again. 
 

I do need to submit proof that I have the stock credit but nothing else.

The one difference from before, is that the Military credit is now Non-Refundable and must be spent.

Sailing TA on 4/5 and just rec'd SOBC with my military credit.

As mentioned above, Yes they are combinable. Have a great cruise.

If you receive a casino rate for your cruise are you still able to use your stock benefit?

Do these credits only show up on your booking once the balance is paid in full? DH military OBC is not showing (final payment due in Sept) and I don't want to call prematurely. Thx!

I'm assuming that you have submitted your Military documentation to Princess and that this is reflected on your account.

 

Our military credit shows up immediately upon booking and we never pay in full until the final payment is due.  But we use a "Future Cruise Deposit" to book, so this changes some of the rules (cancellation, amount of deposit, etc).  This may be the difference.

 

An easy way to check if you should be getting this credit is to:

 

- Sign in to the Princess site

- Go to "My Account" on the top Banner

- Then hit "OnBoard Credits"

- This should bring up your "Circle Savings Account"

- When it comes up, hit "View Details"

- You will see "Military Benefits" on one of the lines of Credits, and whether it is "active"

 

Hope this helps.  If not you should speak with your travel agent or Princess.

Thanks for your help. The credit did not show on our booking so I called Princess. They said it usually appears by Day 14 (I booked 10 days ago).
