First Timers/ referrals

[dalliowner]

Any Seabourn First timers need a referral coupon I have a couple. You can contact me on cornagefarm@aol.com

Dalliowner,

 

Thanks for your kind offer, I have PM to you.

 

Look forward to hearing from you...................

Just a reminder that these coupons are for potential Seabourites, not those already booked. I imagine they could be discontinued if the process is abused.

Just curious about this....I'll assume it's a discount for your initial Seabourn Voyage?

Time frame involved? Expiration? What kind of discount/credit? Valid for more than one new guest? So many questions!!

 

Thanks, in advance!

It is an onboard credit given to the new cruiser and the referring cruiser when the new cruiser books and pays for a cruise. It is used for the first cruise. The referring cruiser will have a credit on their next cruise. I don't know about a time frame/expiration date. The last credit figure I heard was $400.00/each.

[Jaffa]

No its not a Cruise discount.

It is actually an onboard credit of $400 you can redeem on a shore excurssion or in the spa ect ect...........

 

The referal credit is given to both parties, the past cruiser recieves it on their next cruise when the person they have rewarded it too completes a first cruise with Seabourn.

 

All past passengers recieve one, sometimes more on each cruise they take.

It is an incentive to encourage friends, family, workmates to try a cruise with Seabourn.

 

Most good TA's give an onboard credit with most Cruiselines nowdays as a thankyou for booking through them.

Most Credit Cards also have their own programs which also give onboard credits when you pay with their card as well.

 

The Seabourn past passenger referal credits can be redeemed anytime up until you make your final cruise payment.

 

Many past Seabourn cruisers on this board have passed theirs on to new cruise bookings made by members who use this Seabourn board rather than let them go to waste.

 

I expect that Seabourn builds this into the cruise cost up front and does not in fact loose much from the practice. It also gives something back to the past passenger which is a nice reward for coming back.

I appreciate your prompt and thorough replies! Sounds like a great marketing/incentive tool----a win-win proposition for all.

 

My FIL is on the Pride right now; I'll be sure to collect his referral coupon upon his return.....for ME!

Nope....not quite true Jaffa......we did FOUR B/B cruises....(and have 4 more B/B booked) never saw sight nor sound of these "onboard credits"....as Aussies I don't think we qualify for any extra incentives.........Not happy Jan! :mad:

[jgn]

Never saw one, either, GL, after 47 and 30 day cruises on SB. Jean

>"Sounds like a great marketing/incentive tool"

 

The best incentive is the Loyalty cruise after 140 days.

I am already looking forward to my next one!

I had previously given a guest referral coupon to an individual who had to delay his sailing on Seabourn. As a result, I have a Guest Referral Coupon which will allow a FIRST-TIME Seabourn passenger a $400 shipboard credit. If you fit into that category, have not yet made final payment and will be doing so by October 2008, I will be happy to give you a coupon. Just email me at hoya68(at)comcast.net (substitute @ for (at) in the email address). Happy sailing and you will love Seabourn.

We will be first timers next summer. Our final payment is not due until May 09. How does the payment issue work in the use of the coupon? Thanx for the offer.

[hoya68]

When you submit a coupon with your final payment both you and the individual referring you will receive a shipboard credit. Since I will be sailing in November 2008, I will need to have the individual make their final payment before that date.

[marazul]

One caveat. SB will make you choose between the referral coupon and the credit card (eg AMEX) onboard credit. AMEX is $300 and SB referral is $400, so you know which one to pick... Seems a waste, but that is the way it is. Your TA's onboard credits would be in addition to SB or credit card credits. You don't have to choose.

I do have one to give, so post an email address and I'll be in touch.

Is Seabourn still honoring these coupons?? It seems like there has been discussion here for years that they are being discontinued...... :confused:

Yes, they are still available. I personally referred a friend just a few months ago. I had to call Seabourn to get the referral coupon..

I refered someone who got the onboard credit in November. Our first cruise since that is in June and I await to see result. Here`s hoping. :)

You can only be a first timer on seabourn. And cannot be combined with the 300.00 from American express. I I have one to offer For a new traveler who is booked and ready to pay there last payment.

Hi Steve,

We are first timers on the same cruise as you, so it makes perfect sense to share this incentive:) .

 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Cheers,

Steve.

Hope you got it. You can mail us at commodities@netreach.net

Hope you got it.

 

Hi Steve,

Yes I received your e-mail and have responded.

 

Cheers,

Steve.

We are going on our first Seabourn cruise Dec 2009. Does anyone have a coupon for this? Do I just present it with my final payment or let my travel agent know ahead of time? Thanks bgop

They need the coupon well before you sail and you get an onboard credit ( I hope)

[Foxberry]

I have a coupon also. I can be reached at Foxberry at bellsouth.net

A follow up on this thread. Please post your personal email address ONLY if you have a coupon and would like to refer a new Seabourn cruiser. Just stating that you have one is not sufficient. First time cruisers DO NOT solicit a referral coupon with your personal email address. You will open yourself up to spammers etc... These posts will not stay on the board.

 

Thank you.
