Shareholder benefit continues unchanged

I am a shareholder of Carnival Corporation & PLC (CCL) stock and just received my 2016 annual report, proxy statement and proxy ballot.

Carnival renewed the shareholder benefit that applies to all cruises with sailings through July 31, 2018. Reservations must be made by February 28, 2018. The details and limitations appear on page 5 of the 2016 Annual Report (not the notice of meeting book)

If you hold 100 or more shares of CCL be sure to run a photocopy of the Proxy ballot as proof of ownership and file it with your important papers. You will need to provide proof of ownership to obtain the credit after booking your cruise.

The benefit is:

North America brands:

6 or fewer sailing days - $50.00 OBC per cabin

7-13 sailing days - $100.00 OBC per cabin

14 or more sailing days - $250.00 per cabin

Continental Europe brands:

6 or fewer sailing days - 40.00 Euro OBC per cabin

7-13 sailing days - 75.00 Euro OBC per cabin

14 or more sailing days - 200.00 Euro OBC per cabin

U. K. brands:

6 or fewer sailing days - 30 UK pounds OBC per cabin

7-13 sailing days - 60 UK pounds OBC per cabin

14 or more sailing days - 150 UK pounds OBC per cabin

Australia brands:

That's very useful. How about if you hold shares through a broker and you don't receive an Annual Report?

I simply download my most recent monthly statement from my broker in pdf format and black-out all my other stocks that they don't need to see. Send that, with a letter requesting the benefit plus the information requested in the annual report (which you can download from CCL's website) and mail it to the cruise line. Do this once you've made final payment on your cruise.

I did this in January for our 15-day March 31st transatlantic on the Quest.

Or ask your stock broker to send the evidence direct to Seabourn

Couple of things:

1. No need to mail it. Just scan and email it to guest services. (Alternately, you don't even need to print out your statement and then manually black out the irrevelant/sensitive information - just black out using a photo editing software and do the whole thing electronically.)

2. No need to wait till final payment has been made. They will process the shareholder's credit once your deposit has been made.

Not sure about a proxy statement as proof of ownership. That's a once a year item, not good enough to show current ownership of CCL shares.

What we always do is to fax a recent brokerage statement to Seabourn using the number given for Shareholder Benefits as given by Investor Relations.

Anyway, I suppose whatever has worked for you before will continue to do so.

Happy and healthy sailing!

Very useful information. Thank you.

I just copy that part of my bank statement which shows the most recent CCL Dividend being received, with a conversion rate. Easy to calculate from that how many shares are held.

Is the CCL stock OBC credit getting extended to 2019 voyages?
