Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Bought 101 shares today. Should get me $700-$1000 in OBC over the next two years.

[@aaronwadzinski5761]

Great Tip! I had some cash money in my 401k that had not yet been invested, and this is perfect!

[@chrisfoxwell4128]

I missed seeing this by a week or so. I'm sailing in 7 days. Thanks for the info all the same.

[@merryhomestead7154]

Thank you so much for this video! I told my husband about it and he put a buy order in for NCL when stocks dropped the other day. We are now stockholders of NCL. I submitted the paperwork five days ago and it was approved today and is already showing up on my NCL app! Thanks again 🎉

[@Cha-y412]

Thanks for this information. Frequent NCL Haven cruisers

[@travelingfool9096]

just got my credit email conformation, thanks for the info

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Traveling Fool 👋 Woo hoo it certainly is a nice bonus before taking a cruise. I've had mine for just about 2 years and I've already gotten my investment back in credits! Where are you going to be cruising?

[@allenf8121]

Hey Grant, thanks for this tip! My wife and I are signed up for 5 NCL cruises in 2024. I picked up 100 shares at a very cheap price and just received $650 in cruises credits, spread between the cruises!

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Allen 👋 Look at you go! I'm thrilled that not only do you have 5 cruises coming up (I"m very jealous), but you also probably got a nice big windfall as the price of NCLH stock just went up quite a bit. That's a pretty good Christmas present!

[@Bugolathe-r4c]

Got the 100 shares but have to wait until the end of this month when it shows up on a statement. Another way to get ship credit is getting the NCL Mastercard credit card. I applied, got the card, charged the cruise to it then immediately paid off the credit card. Now I have $400 of ship credit for our upcoming cruise in June on the Bliss.

[@GlennBrockett]

I purchased shares just after the COVID crash This will be our third cruise using this benefit. They are still relatively cheap. Thanks for the video!

[@ChooCruisesSOLO]

Awesome tip!! I didn’t know about this and am going on an NCL cruise in July. Will buy the 100 shares! Can you please post a video about dress codes on NCL and in the various specialty restaurants? I’m a casual dresser (not sloppy but not dressy) and always wear runners due to foot problems. I hope that won’t be a problem with the two specialty restaurants I chose with my FREE AT SEA perk. I think they’re the sushi bar and teppanyaki. Thanks.

[@justcallmecrazy1]

i hsad a great time on the bliss one of the best times i have ever had

[@ShayneandChris]

Thanks to you, I found out in time to get the credit.

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Shayne and Chris 👋 So glad you found this in the nick of time! I was really lucky to hear about this early on from some of my seasoned cruise friends. Are you cruising soon? What ship will you be on?

[@ShayneandChris]

@@CruisewithGrant Hi Grant, love your videos! We are going to Bermuda next month on the Norwegian Pearl. I was also able to book an excursion on disembarkation day and get my money back for the airport transfers thanks to your videos. I recently found out that Norwegian now gives a 10% discount to veterans and retirees. I wasn’t able to get it for this cruise but I will on all future cruises. We plan to do the 22 day Panama Canal cruise next year. Thank you for all the great advice ☺️👍🏻

[@Thecruisingaquaholics]

Thank you for the video! I needed this amazing step-by-step 👏 🙌

[@CruisewithGrant]

Thanks for the vote of confidence PJ! When I was first looking into this I sure would have appreciated a hand so want to pay it all forward! 💪❤️

[@babybunnie1840]

***@Cruise with Grant, how about for shore excusions or gift shop on ship, can it be used for these things?

[@billcarson6653]

Hello, just suscribed to your channel. We were on the transatlantic too on the getaway dec 2021 loved it. We are from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 😀

[@CruisewithGrant]

Thanks so much for supporting the channel! Exciting to hear that we were cruise-cousins and didn't even know it. Perhaps we shall cross paths again!! Thanks for the Canadian love ❤ Bon weekend!

[@Jacq892]

Yes I have lost half the value of my stock and they have yet to give me a credit yet. Edited.I was just notified we have it! Also charters even though on the Norwegian cruise, don't qualify

[@CruisewithGrant]

Sorry to hear that you've been affected by the rough stock market year Jacqueline. It's certainly not been the easiest. I'm so glad to hear that you have got your benefit 🙌 Thanks also for sharing about the chartered cruises!

[@donb2480]

Interesting thanks for the info

[@CruisewithGrant]

Glad it was helpful Don! 😊

[@lauragwillim1055]

Great information!! Thank you!

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Laura 👋 You're most welcome, I hope it was helpful!

[@Carolmaizy]

Thank you for this information.

[@elnamayberry]

Benefits are based on the number of shares, regardless of the value of the shares, correct?

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Elna 👋 That's absolutely right, they just need to know that you own 100 shares and away you go! Hope you're having a wonderful day!!

[@jameshchetwyndjr9739]

Need 100 shares hear $180 so $18,000 to get discount not for me

[@mousec1999]

That is so annoying. I had a lot of NCL stock until a month ago. I even had the stock after I booked my cruise. I just had no idea.

[@bigdogzone3177]

ye but 100 shares is 2000 $

[@micomarinas2753]

what benefit if I purchase half shares of the norweigan? will I become a part owner or board of director?

[@robinpeppin]

actually, i'm not interested in any transactions with any huge corporations these days. the antitrust laws have expired a few years ago & all. these companies are taking full advantage & pulling all kinds of sleight of hand with every great offer they promise. what starts out a great price ends up 3 to 4 times more expensive. like this cruise i'm going on. it started out at $700.00 & ended up at $1700.00 i'm going, but it will be my last one on this line until the deceit ends. it says free at sea-it's not free at all. i'm going to have a blast & take full advantage of everything they have to offer that i like.

[@dalgato]

great video, this helped me so much. but i have one question do u have to wait a certain amount of time before requesting the obc. for example must have 100 shares for at least 2 months etc?

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi there 👋 Great question! You don't have to wait a particular amount of time, but you will need a statement showing you own the shares, and you will need to submit your request for the benefit in advance of your cruise. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out Instagram if there's anything else 😊 @cruisewithgrant

[@dalgato]

@@CruisewithGrant great thank you!

[@dand5829]

I just booked an NCL cruise 2 days ago so this info is helpful. Thanks

[@CruisewithGrant]

So glad it was helpful Dan 😊 Where are you headed on your cruise?

[@dand5829]

@@CruisewithGrant Will be on a New England/Canada itinerary from NY. First time in the Haven so that should be a fun new experience.

[@CruisewithGrant]

@@dand5829 wow the Haven lucky you! 🥳 That's still a dream of mine!

[@beegee1512]

Thank you so much for your amazing hint.

[@CruisewithGrant]

Thanks Christian! I'm so happy that the video was helpful. With all of the stock market fluctuations these days it's certainly an interesting time to consider cruise stocks! 😜

[@craigmack012]

Great info! Do you have to submit paperwork for every cruise or is it once and done?

[@RaggedyAnn66]

Yes, you have to submit the paperwork for every cruise you take on NCL.

[@CruisewithGrant]

Ann got it right on the nose. They will want you to submit for every cruise so that they know that you still own the shares. Hope this helps 😊

[@rajanmathai]

If we hold 500 shares, the benefit is it five times ?

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Rajan 👋 I wish that were the case but unfortunately you can only claim the benefit once for 100 shares

[@robinpeppin]

i can't open many of the links on my account page with them. i'm sailing in oct23 to bermuda, i'm all paid up, bought some excursions & a dinner pkg, but i click on the spa link, & just now the investor one, & it jumps me back up to the top of the page. it's really annoying. now i have to contact someone there to find out what the problem is, & i'm busy with a million other things. does anyone have any idea of why this is happening? i'm driving 4 hours to a campground. tomorrow for a week vaca. so i'm still packing & getting ready for that. thanks.

[@DeannaTroi1]

Hi Grant! Thanks for your amazing tips. If I get you right, i cant use the credit for already pre-booked activities. But if I book for example the additional Wifi packages when I am on board, am I able to use the credit for this? Thanks in advance!

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Deanna 👋 You're most welcome! You got it exactly right, anything you purchase in advance you'll be charged for, but once you're on board you can start spending away with your on board credit. (also I'm a BIG Star Trek fan!!)

[@DeannaTroi1]

@@CruisewithGrant thanks a lot Grant! 🖖🏻😁

[@kylevoelker4914]

Any advice on how to get double points? Or triple? Just found out that most people on a cruise I just booked got triple points but now it’s not offered to me. Ugh

[@DebbieSessions]

Wow. Thanks. This is great know.

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Debbie 👋 You're absolutely welcome!!

[@albertgeorge3848]

Great Video! Just Subscribed to your site. The Shareholder Benefits FAQs (#7) says "Benefit is not combinable with any other offer." What does this mean exactly? If I get a benefit through a Latitudes Rewards Promo, a military discount rate, a CruiseNext deal or a any other deal offerred to everyone on NCL's website, can I still also get the Shareholder's Benefit? Thanks!!!

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Albert! Thanks for watching and supporting by subscribing, it really means the world to me! In terms of the point you mentioned you may want to connect with NCL for specific promotions, but in my experience there's been no issue with getting the benefit in combination with Latitudes Past Guest offers, Free at Sea Promotions, or NCL sales like their 35% off discounts. So this may be a legal term and condition in case they wanted to apply some limitations. Hope that this helps!

[@albertgeorge3848]

@@CruisewithGrant Thanks Grant. It helps alot!!!

[@ashogden639]

Do you know if this credit works for two people on 1 booking? say my wife also gets 100 stocks aswell

[@enixon8268]

I have emailed our form to apply to our Jan 2023 cruise. I received a case # reply but not a confirmation. We haven't made our final payment yet. I wonder if that makes a difference? I was thinking we would use part of it for laundry on our 12 day cruise. We may get a couple photos and a glass of wine each too.

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi there, it's probably a case of them processing it a bit closer to your cruise date. I would say if you're less than a month out and you don't see it showing up on your account (NCL website or app) you may want to follow up with them. Sounds like you've got a good list of things to spend it on lined up! 😊

[@joseelemonde6405]

Hi Grant, How can I get those shares ?

[@AZD2169]

Thanks, to late for me. I’ve had there stock and Carnival stock for years.
