Stock Holders Benefits: Exceptions

Ahoy There !

There are several exceptions in share-holders benefits.

The one that interests me is:

• ".....or anyone cruising on a reduced-rate".
  

What is Carnival's definition of "reduced rate" ?

Nearly all travel agents offer rates less-than the posted rates on cruise-line web sites.

Would these travel agent's "rates" be interpreted as "reduced rates" ?

TIA

Reduced rates generally apply to Friends/Family/Employee rates and casino free cabin offers and f you are using a voucher for like 50% off future cruise certificate. Not Travel agent group discount rates...

Thank you Poz222 !

Now I'm less hesitant in buying shares.

Where can I find out what the exact benefits are for Stock Owners??

I purchased the required 100 shares of Carnival years ago as part of my IRA. We receive these benefits on every sailing. A great little benefit for owning this stock. :D

Here are the shareholder benefits approved for sailings through July 2018. Typically, Carnival extends the expiration of the offer annually.

NORTH AMERICABRANDS

Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 14 days or longer US $ 250

Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 7 to 13 days US $ 100

Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 6 days or less US $ 50

This benefit also provided for sailing Carnival Corporation's Princess, Holland America, Cunard, Seabourn and Costa lines

I mean, obviously I never pay the 'list rate' and just book the lowest price I can find, and have never had an issue getting the OBC. Maybe its like employee reduced rates, or something? Never been an issue on my end.

I didnt buy the stock for the OBC, we maybe cruise twice a year on CCL best case scenario. But, its an awesome perk to an already good stock (if you bought at the right time). And if you are cruising every other month like some, all the better.

Thanks for the info.

Our default cruise line of choice is NCL.

Thus... we own NCL stocks.

NCL stock has pretty much identical benefits,

That said... CLL pay dividends and NCLH doesn't. :o

We own Carnival stock but have never utilized the benefits, silly us!

What and to whom do we send the information in order to receive the appropriate on board credits.

Thanks.

Go to http://www.carnivalcorp.com and find the shareholder benefit page. It lists the rules and where to send your information to receive the benefit.

and click on the link there.

You should end up at a pdf describing the benefits and process. The pdf tells you how to mail or fax your proof-of-ownership information, what it doesn't tell you is that you can also email it to guestadmin@carnival.com.

Thank you all, I found the pdf and downloaded it.

Will give this a shot for our January 2018 cruise.

Good info here on these boards!

Thanks for the info.

Those quarterly CCL dividends make for great spending money on a Carnival cruise, in addition to the shipboard credit!

I always receive the shipboard credit unless I'm sailing with a free casino cruise.

seriously??? not sure silly really covers it. Last 2 B2B cruises $400, this January 14 day Miracle another $250. We roll over our dividends back into the stock

The only time I was denied the benefit was on an effectively free cruise ($50 cruise fare with $50 OBC included).

Sailor-1959 here.

Well... I bit the bullet and purchased 100 shares, reinvesting dividends :cool:

Initially I planned to cruise with Princess... until I found out about their "formal" evenings.

That said I'm leaning toward Carnival even tho we're way past Party-Animals phase of life ;)

I believe that as long as you stay away from the short cruises, you will have no problem with not being party animals. My DHF and I are so far removed from party animals that we're practically dinosaurs and we always have a good time and never feel like things are too chaotic.

According to my PVP, emailing is no longer a valid way to send in the information. She told me it must be mailed or faxed due to security reasons.

Cool.

Staying away from short cruises is the norm de rigueur for us.

IMHO... with rare exception, it's not worth the effort to take any cruise less-than a week.

 

By the time you get to port, fight the mob getting checked-in and on board, doing the fire-drill, meeting your room steward, dat-de-dah... and it's time to pack and disembark the following AM.

 

As Ebenezer Scrooze wisely said: HUM-BUG !!!

I just emailed my info last week and received an email back today saying that they gave me my OBC.

I am saling within 30 days. Does anyone know how far in advance I can email/fax/mail my shareholder info to receive the On Board Credit?

The only time I was denied the benefit was on an effectively free cruise ($50 cruise fare with $50 OBC included).

Wonder why? Whole bunch of us got the Shareholder OBC a few years ago for this exact same type of fare. (Ours was $25/$25 OBC pp)

Is it only 1 shareholder benefit per couple/stateroom? What if both people are shareholders.... just curious.

Plus thanks for the reminder. I wonder what happens to my dividends...

I also wish nclh would pay dividends too...
