I'm greatly displeased with the implementation of the "StockPerks App", there have been no changes to the Carnival official written policy, no changes to the old fax/email proof of ownership to which ever cruise company subsidiary where the cruise booking was made. Yet this roll out of requiring shareholders to exclusively use a third party App is not secure and here is the privacy kicker StockPerks has a paid subscription service called Crunchbase to sell our financial, personal, travel data to their subscribers because we have "voluntarily provided" it and that gives them license to make money on any SBCredit info we provide.

Thank you for sharing your successful 3rd request for your SBC, I'd like to think that the request for the manual credit would not take so many tries. Kudos to you and your persistence, sending a cyber high five your way!!!!

Thank you alchemy girl. I continue to check the Carnival Corp documents for requesting the Shareholder Benefit Credit, nowhere yet has the new StockPerks process been added to Corporate Documents. The old request process is still "on the official books!" Also there has been no changes made to the dollar amounts, or mention "exceptions" or a limited number of times a year the Shareholder Benefit Credit can be requested. I did wonder if Luminosa is considered Carnival AU which has a different email address to submit the Shareholder Benefit Credit request (a possibility?). This is just so confusing, time consuming, *frustrating, AND undocumented at a corporate level with no plan B available for stockholders.

Thank you ATXChips. I too set up a StockPerks account, I tried to upload a redacted the (QR code, Margin bar code, and account number)image, the above areas blacked out. The app would not accept the redacted image identical to the one sent to Carnival thru the old process most of us had used in the past The app rejected the redacted image I tried to upload but would allow a "clear" unredacted image taken as an app capture....but there is no way to redact the image taken afterwards in the app snap shot. Both attempts were clear easily read images. Sure....it's easy...no hassle, no problem. (🙄they said). Maybe they decided making shareholders jump through digital hoops would cut down the number of Shareholder Benefit Credit Requests. If that is the case then there is no need to tie up the value of 100+ shares of CCL. If customer satisfaction is no longer an interest for Carnival....then there are other cruise companies.

Thank you for the feed back RV Traveler 01. My second and 3rd request for options to process my request hit a brick wall "no other options available". I attempted to send 2 emails to the VP of Investor Services (both emails rejected as invalid addresses). I have had this conversation with about 7 hard core cruisers that I know hold CCL...we are all in the same situation of deciding to dump a stock that is not income producing, we are unwilling to use a 3rd party with our personal financial data. So...I have sent an email to the Carnival Board of Directors (Legal Company Secretary who will log the complaint and respond on the behalf of the company), if anyone else needs this contact info I will be happy to share it with other Shareholders who are unwilling to use a crappy 3rd party app (StockPerks) with their personal financial details. My relationship is with Carnival, not StockPerks.

Yes please keep me informed if they accept the fax/email submission. Thank you

I will be contacting Carnival Cruise Lines Investor Relations about this matter. If anyone else has the same difficulty using the crappy new required app making it difficult or impossible to get the valid Shareholder Benefit Credit I have the contact info as follows: Investor Contacts Carnival Corporation Beth Roberts SVP Investor Relations Carnival Place MSEO1000 3655 N.W. 87 Avenue Miami, Florida 33178-2428 Main Telephone: 305-599-2600 IR Department: 305-406-5539

Forgive me up front, but I need to know if others on this trip have been faced with a "new" stockholder benefit credit request process? I sent in my Stockholder Benefits Discount request, prior to 3 weeks in advance, in the required format that is well documented. I received an email saying that they were implementing a App by the name StockPerks (which is a cluster mess). There is no means to block out/redact my personal financial account number from view from the app operators or Carnival Corp. This is irresponsible in my opinion.

Thank you for your recommendations. I Did an Arctic Cruise to Norway to see the Artic Lights Oct 2022 the general bulk of Snow bibs/boots and long puffer coats was not very "luggage friendly". This trip will have some days in the 30-40s I'm doing less puffer and more thin layers of Merino wool mix & match, which packs light dries quickly when hand washed. As a full time Floridian with thin blood I am only bringing 1 pair of shorts for the AU leg of the trip.

Hello from another FL ( full time) resident. We are booked on the cruise and backing into to flight details for our JAX to BNE and return SEA to JAX. Fingers crossed it all falls together smoothly. Spring Japan and Alaska packing recommendations would be appreciated from those with experience. Ciao Joe and Connie Jacksonville FL.
