cruiseTN Posted March 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi! We are Nancy and Calvin, retired and living in northeast TN. We have booked the January 13, 2016 Antarctica cruise on the Seabourn Quest and are really looking forward to it. We took a similar cruise in 2008 and loved it except that we weren't able to get off the ship while in the Antarctic. This voyage includes zodiac landings so we are excited! Anyone else booked this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted March 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You might want to see if there's a roll call for your cruise on the roll call board. If not, start one and you're sure to meet others on the same cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyEC Posted March 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Will this be your first Seabourn cruise? If so you may be eligible for a referral coupon $400 on board credit If not you will be eligible to offer one! Either way the $400 OBC is particularly handy for the unlimited internet access package, we find! The Antartic on the Quest is on our bucket list - and pretty close to the top, getting closer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, have just booked my first Seabourn cruise and do not understand how this works and how to put in place, Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseTN Posted March 6, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Thanks for letting us know about the credit! This is our first Seabourn cruise. Please let me know what we need to do to get the refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our first Seabourn cruise. Please let me know what we need to do to get the refund. On this (Seabourn) section of the forum you will find a 'sticky' thread at the top called (something like) 'Referral coupon thread - the only one' which will explain this arrangement. Basically anyone who has sailed on Seabourn can provide a coupon for any new Seabourn client prior to their first cruise, which gives $400 on board credit to both the new cruiser and the referrer (on their next subsequent cruise). If you post on there, asking for a coupon, someone will offer you one. You then send this to Seabourn prior to your cruise and you should receive the OBC. The referrer will then receive their credit toward their next booking. Everyone wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted March 7, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2015 But you cannot combine this with a credit you get from your TA -- must select one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyEC Posted March 7, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2015 That is correct. As far as I am aware the only credit with which it can be combined is that for Carnival stockholders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoberKat Posted March 7, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2015 But you cannot combine this with a credit you get from your TA -- must select one or the other. OK but as of now I have neither. Hoping for enlightenment as to referral credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyEC Posted March 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2015 As I suggested above, look at the 'sticky' thread, request a coupon and submit it to Seabourn at least a couple of weeks before you sail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wripro Posted March 7, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 7, 2015 But you cannot combine this with a credit you get from your TA -- must select one or the other. I do not believe this is true. A credit purchased by your TA is like cash and has nothing to do with credits issued by Seabourn itself. You cannot combine the referral credit with an Amex Platinum credit, for example, or any other promotion SB may be offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted March 7, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 7, 2015 See the following quote from the letter that Seabourn sent with a batch of coupons a couple of months ago: " referral credits are not combinable with any other onboard credit." From what I have heard they do make an exception for CCL shareholder credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basor Posted March 7, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 7, 2015 We sailed on the 13JAN 2015 Quest and received the referral OBC, Carnival stock OBC and a Seabourn OBC :D- I have the spa appointments to show all were well used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2SailingNomads Posted March 8, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 8, 2015 In the recent past, you could indeed combine the Stock Holder credit and any credits you got directly from Seabourn. But the latest letter I received last week w/ my coupons was pretty explicit: "Referral onboard credits are not combinable with any other onboard credits." I do not know if they have changed the policy as the back of the coupons still has the same language it has for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard they do make an exception for CCL shareholder credit. This does NOT refer to oboard credits purchased by your TA or anyone else. Those are like cash. It on;y refers to other credits that Seabourn is paying for like the Amex Platinunm credit or another credit they may be offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyEC Posted March 12, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 12, 2015 We are about to sail this week and have had confirmation that we have OBC for both Carnival stockholding and a referral coupon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
