You need to create an account with Stockperks and link your brokerage statement.   If it works takes a few minutes to verify eligibility.   Stockperks is having issues with Plaid the interface, could be due to volume.

Wait until you get the email on the new method for claiming Shareholder onboard credit.  No more email, fax or snail

mail.

Princess offers a transfer from Southampton to Heathrow for flights leaving after 2:00pm.  Arrives Heathrow around 10:30 as the coach makes the Heathrow to Southampton transfer.  Fare is $59pp.  Highly recommend it for convenience.

Princess also offers transfer to Victoria Coach Station for $64.

Sorry, posted on the wrong board.

We have done the same itinerary, same ship with and without package.  The difference was not worth worrying about.   We are buying the package for our upcoming cruises.

Is your name listed first on the reservation?
 

It’s been my experience for many years that when I’m the first name on a reservation and the SOBC application is in my wife’s name it goes to me. When we could talk to those issuing SOBC they always said it goes to the first name listed even when applying in the other passenger’s name who jointly owns the CCL shares.

 

Yes my name is first.  Only in the last couple of days with attempting to have OBC loaded to the account, with the stock in DH name, has it  been credited to my account.  The stock is in a family trust.

So I have a question...we usually pre-order the water package (12 bottles) and 6 canned soda package.  The water is always delivered and in our cabin when we board.  We have to call room service to get the 6 cans of soda redeemed/delivered...so will we have to pay the $5.00 room service fee to have the pre-ordered/prepaid cans of soda delivered after we board.  I can only assume the reason they don't pre-deliver the soda cans is because they wait to find out which soda's you want, i.e.  6 cans of coke.  Although I don't know why the website can't just be set up to allow you to order the exact soda's you want and they too could be in the room when you arrive.  

No you will not be charged.   We called in September onboard the Sky with no issues or additional charges.

Thanks! Here’s the link if anyone is interested. We’ll try it out once we get back home after our current cruise on the CB is over. We have two future cruises we need to have the SOBC reapplied to.

I looked into using this website but found it far easier to send an email with all the required info and a screenshot of the proof of ownership.

Did submit for another cruise last night under DH name, using his email address and his account and it was still applied to my OBC.  Obviously issues to be worked out.  Notification was sent at 12:39pm which adds to my suspicion OBC is being handled off shore.

I just faxed in my request. After you’ve submitted your documents how long dit it take before you saw the credit?

Reportedly they are no longer accepting fax requests.   Everything is now email at sbpcl@princesscruises.com.  I have not attempted thru fax for the last year.

The request I sent in took a massive 24 minutes from submission until application.   Looks like the offshore call center is monitoring the email address.

The message I received indicated it was effective immediately.   I went on another app and pulled up Princess Cruise Vacation Planners and there are several CVPs I know personally who are also posting the same info.

I have submitted a request for one of the cruises we had not applied for Shareholder in DH name.   Will see what happens.

Received the stand wait 21 day response.

Well that did not work as they applied it to

my folio.  The request was from my email account but contained all his info.   Sorry, I tried.

For me the first clue that made me doubt the chat’s accuracy was providing the wrong effective date of September 2022…it was on 6/29/23 so doubt if that chat rep was a reliable source.

Thanks for the information.

Was thinking you would be happy with this change.  Enjoy your OBC.

Received the same thing from my CVP this morning.   Not that it makes a lot of difference to us as we usually sail together.

Pleased for solo travelers.

More than likely an increase in your insurance cost if you selected Princess insurance.   Wait until you are onboard and purchase the Plus package.

I would catch an Uber.   Another option would be catch the trolley to San Ysidro and then a cab to CBX.  Doubt if there are many passengers who need a transfer to CBX.   

I emailed our request a week or so ago and received the automated response indicating 21 days.   20 minutes later I received an updated booking confirmation showing the credit.  Can’t ask for better service.

I chatted with a Princess rep today and was assured we would see it about 3 days before our sailing. If I don't, will there be someone onboard who can fix it? Just have the hubby bring his DD214?

Is this standard procedure? Our sailing is in Jan 2024. Booked in July, and shortly after applied and was approved for the MOBC.

Did he apply thru Sheer ID and receive

approval.  Contact your TA or Princess. Looks like it needs to be released.   Had the same issue with SIL this year.   Needs to be triggered on the reservation.

I'm faxing mine in tomorrow usually it takes a week but others von this board have said it's been the same day.

I emailed mine with a screenshot of my account statement attached.   Included Booking Number, Voyage number and name, along with date of travel.   So much easier.

I sent mine in this morning at 11:36am and had confirmation at 11:56am.

It will probably depend on hotel check out time & our boarding time.  We get in before 10 AM the day prior, so may be able to do some sight seeing then.

The majority of hotels will hold luggage.   Definitely would leave it at the hotel rather than waste time to go down to the pier and try and hand it over.   Which hotel are you staying at?

We disembarked September 2 and received our refund yesterday.

Going by your screen name, how did you not think of Dependent Husband, Dependent wife, son, daughter etc.  As a military family my first option.

Bid the minimum last year for Santiago to Buenos Aires.   Notification of upgrade was received right after boarding in LA for the first leg of a B2B.    Found the cabin was not occupied on the first leg and was able to move in early for no additional cost.  Went from a BD to B4.  I knew where the Premium Balcony cabins where located before bidding.
