Norwegian Share Holder Credit

[JVilleGal]

Is Norwegian still giving an OBC for owning 100 Shares of Norwegian?

Yes ... they usually give it to you in a day or two of submission

Yes.... Current form, FAQ, pamphlet located here

Just email the form with a copy of a recent brokerage statement and they will send you an updated Amenities receipt with the OBC on it. Usually within a day or two.

Thank you! Just received one for a HAL cruise we are taking in June. Didn't know if Norwegian was still doing it :)

 

Booked a Christmas cruise on Norwegian for our family last night! No Christmas family drama and no upchuck of Christmas morning presents... sounds good to me!

We sail I about three weeks. I emailed the Shareholder benefit (SHB) form and received an email the next day with an attached "Amenity Invoice" showing the $100 had been credited to our accounts. I checked online and verified this. It is clearly shown as "non-refundable"

 

An interesting note: Even though the shares are all held in an account in my name and my name was the only one on the SHB request form, the SHB was split between my wife and me on the amenity invoice, $50 each. This is not a big deal except that if all our onboard purchases were made on only one person's cruise card, the $50 assigned to the other person might not be credited and would be lost. I would like to think that this was not a conscious (read sneaky) decision by the big-wigs at NCL but the way things have been headed with them lately, I wouldn't be surprised. :evilsmile:

 

I guess the only way to know for sure is to check your onboard account frequently and make sure that any OBC you have is being utilized and not going to waste

Hummm ;) I'll remember this. Thanks Shukapaw !

I've never had the credit split between the two guests, but I have seen it all applied to guest #1 even though the shareholder was guest #2… They should be more careful about this, but in practice I guess in most cabins everyone shares a common onboard account. In that case it doesn't matter if all the credits are in one person's name but all the charges are in the other person's name: everything is pooled together into one account.

Same here. Shows as 2x$50 nonrefundable credits on edocs.

 

For what it's worth it took nearly two weeks to get the amenity credit email when we submitted a couple months ago.

It's super easy. Make sure to black out your account number on the forms you send. Mine was processed in less than 24 hours, maybe I sent it on a really slow day for them.

I guess they are now treating this like other types of per-stateroom OBC (split between guests 1 & 2). Like I said earlier, it makes no difference in most cases, but if you are a shareholder traveling with a friend and keeping separate accounts, and you don't want to share your OBC with them, you will have to work that out between the two of you. On the other hand, if both of you are shareholders, this nicely sidesteps the question of who gets to apply for the OBC (since NCL will only accept one request per stateroom): If it gets split evenly between guests 1 & 2, then it doesn't matter who applies for it.

 

But I wonder what happens if the shareholder is guest #3…

We also emailed and got ours within a day. I was impressed -- good job NCL Shareholder Dept! And ours was also spread over two accounts.

 

Now I wonder if I charge $100 and my husband charges zero, will the $50 OBC that is assigned to my husband be applied if he doesn't charge anything to his account. (The only thing he usually charges is the casino, and I believe that the shareholder OBC cannot be applied to casino charges) Is OBC applied immediately, or is it applied to the bill at the very end?

It appears at the beginning of the cruise, but you don't pay anything until the end, and what counts is the final bill. At that point, both of your accounts (credits and charges) are pooled together, so you don't have worry if each person spent his/her own credits, as long as the total charges for both people are enough to use up the total credits for both people.

Can you receive this benefit if you booked a cruise and purchased shares after the booking?

[RPCVcruiser]

Yes you can. You will need a statement from your brokerage account showing the shares in your account.

yes, $100 and it is very easy to request. .

To clarify, the OBC varies by cruise length. < 7 days $50. 7 - 14 days $100. >= 15 days $250. It's good for NCL, Oceania or Regent.
