NCLH Shareholder benefit

[WBHB]

Are folks getting their shareholder benefit processed quickly?   I sent my request in 2 weeks ago and received an automated response saying I would hear back within 24 hours, but received no further response back.   Three days ago, I resent my request and received another automated response saying that I would hear back in 24 hours.   Nothing.   Sailing now in 7 days.   
 

In past years, the benefit was processed quickly.

Check your booking, I did two recently, one I got an amenity list emailed within 24 hours showing the credit, the other nothing but when I checked my booking it had been applied but they never told me.

[chiefofsages]

I got mine applied in less than 24 hours.

[davencl]

Mine took about 12 hours.

Last week it was next day.

And there it is on my booking!   Thank you for pointing it out.   I thought on previous sailings that I had an email confirming it but evidently, they’ve changed the process.

Brilliant, you had the same lazy person I had 😂

When I send in my request, I always ask for an updated amenity confirmation form.

In the past I have always received a call from someone at NCLH plus an email confirming that the credit was added to my account. For my upcoming cruises, it just appeared in my vacation summary.

Is the NCLH stock incentive in addition to the "free at sea" perks?

Yes.  I always receive the $100 OBC in addition to any free at sea perks.

Think it took less than 8h for me a couple a weeks ago. 👍

How do you apply for the shareholders benefit?  I just booked my first cruise since purchasing my shares.  

[Travelicious]

Fill out the form and email it as directed on the form:

HI: With everything electronic now I have NCL shares through Robinhood and they don't issue statements but rather I can look up my portfolio on my phone at anytime.   Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on how to get proof to NCL for my situation?  TUVM in advance!

It doesn't issue statements, or you just don't get hard copies?  I don't get hard copies with my broker either, but can get it online and then print it.  Maybe you can take a screen shot showing your shares.  I guess NCL would let you know if that was not acceptable.

If you can access it on your phone, you should be able to access it on-line and get a print-out or screen-shot that you can print.  You need to delete your account info, so that would depend on what software you have. I print my statement (different brokerage) to a pdf, then blank out the account# and any other info not related to my NCL shares, then email the modified pdf. 

I believe that you can also use the purchase confirmation, so if you got an email confirmation, you could use that.

All I ever do is a screen print of my broker statement, always been accepted.

[davencl]

Yes just screen print what you see online.  NCLH has not had an issue accepting that.

[jwp1963]

Thanks all, Seems like I should be able to get this done !! 😉

How far ahead are you placing requests? My cruises are in the next two years. Too soon?

[Travelicious]

You can request as soon as you have a reservation number.

[kdmbluerzr]

I was wondering the same thing as Zippeedee. Although I have 3 cruises within the next 12 months. First one is 4 months away, 2nd one 6 months out.  Thanks for info! 

[julig22]

Just for reference, I have a mid-October cruise that I just booked, plus one at the end of January, so almost 6 months away.  I put in the requests on Monday, got the Amenity confirmations for both today - about 48hrs turnaround.

[bstel]

do you have to own the shares prior to booking or can you buy the shares after booking?
