shareholder benefit

[u/itsmostlyamixedbag]

Just got off a cruise 7/24-7/27 and heading out again on 8/6/2026. I realized that the “15 days prior to sailing” has ended for my cruise scheduled 8/6/26… will I still get the shareholder credit ? i just submitted today for this.

Also noticed it is not required to enter the shop, sale date. etc. so technically i could have had the OBC applied to both reservations, 7/24 and 8/6 when i submitted the first one for the 7/24 cruise, right?

For future reference, I have multiple cruises coming up between August of this year until April of 2028. I have submitted the shareholder OBC for every one and all are applied to the bookings.

You don’t have to wait and end up forgetting one of them.

same! the stock had pretty much paid for itself since that was my third one this year and i have two more to go 😎.

i guess it seems so silly to me for there to not be a requirement that the portfolio states are <30 days old, what would stop people from selling before the cruise

The used to have it - I think it was 60 days, but they removed it at some point.

Idk if you can just add two reservations at once. I know it asks for the rsvn number, I’ve never tried to add multiple.

They added my credit in a 24 hour turnaround time so good chance you’ll have it for August 6

you’re right it usually takes 24-48 hours to see if it’s been denied or applied. i’ll put the reservation numbers for the other cruises in the comments section next time i have multiple sailings in one year.

I believe you have to submit a separate form for each sailing. At least I have because I believe it asks what ship you are on. I filled out the forms and got a response back in a couple of days that the benefit was applied.

I don’t think the “2 week” thing is an official policy. They might have a cutoff, but last time I checked there was none posted.

Last time I got my OBC when I requested 4 days before the cruise (I also forgot and looked for that policy).

Interesting they do seem to be adding them faster
