JustCruiseMe Posted February 3, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That's a great letter. Since I just bought the stock and we are leaving in 3 weeks and I have an online account I am not sure I'll get a monthly statement (online?) can I use a copy of the Positions page?

Rod in Az Posted February 4, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Can you buy stock after you book and still get the credit? Yes you can. You do not have to own the stock prior to booking your cruise. Just make sure you have the proof of ownership in enough time to send it in before the cruise.

turning40withMickey Posted February 4, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2014 How much OBC do you get? Are there details about this somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted February 4, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2014 How much OBC do you get? Are there details about this somewhere? Cruises less than 7 days, $50.00 Cruises over 7 days, $100.00 I'm not sure if there is more for an even longer cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Az Posted February 4, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 4, 2014 How much OBC do you get? Are there details about this somewhere? For Carnival's North American Brands: Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 14 days or longer = $250 Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 7 to 13 days = $100 Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 6 days or less = $50 You can review the entire benefit sheet by going to: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit Click on the link in the middle of the page that says: Click here to view our Shareholder Benefit.

LKYGSR Posted February 4, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Is the OBC limited to one per reservation? What if I own 100 shares and my wife owns 100 shares traveling together on the same reservation, can we both get the OBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSpo Posted February 4, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 4, 2014 OP, you need to send in the OBC request more than 2 weeks before your cruise date so make sure you do it right away. It will usually post within 2 days after you send it in. If you send in the request close to a weekend then it will take a few more days. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Cruiser Posted February 4, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You can scan your statement into your computer as a pdf and email it as an attachment. Remember to block out your acct # and other transactions. Carnival only needs your name and the Carnival info. We do this whenever we cruise and never have a problem. Such a nice perk that you can use as often as you cruise. Happy Sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Az Posted February 4, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 4, 2014 What do you send them in email? A screen shot of your account? I make a PDF of relevant pages of my most recent account statement (I only get quarterly statements) with my account number blacked out. The pages I send just show my name and the ownership of Carnival stock. Here is the e-mail I send to guestadmin@carnival.com Dear Guest Admin, Please accept this e-mail as a request for shareholder benefits applicable to a (number) night cruise. My name is ****** ****, and I am booked to sail on the Carnival (Ship Name) out of (Port Name) on (Date), Booking Number ******. I have attached a PDF file (filename.pdf) of the relevant pages of my stock account statement as proof of ownership of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation Stock (ticker CCL). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, I usually receive a response that the e-mail request has been received immediately, and it has been between 8 hours and 5 days that I receive a confirmation e-mail that the OBC has been applied.

JustCruiseMe Posted February 4, 2014 Author #18 Share Posted February 4, 2014 OK I sent it, fingers crossed. I couldn't do a PDF bc I have new laptop without all the apps on it but instead did .jpg which should still be OK I would think. Thanks for everyone's help. Looks like I bought at a pretty good time 100 shares are up about 100.00 today from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCruiseMe Posted February 4, 2014 Author #19 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Did all of you notice that on the shareholder benefit letter it says cruises must be booked by Feb 28, 2014? Do you think they are going to do away with this benefit? Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_cam Posted February 4, 2014 #21 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Not if you are in the same cabin is my understanding. You are correct. I called Carnival and asked this very question. Only one Shareholder OBC per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAPERBKWRITER Posted February 5, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've had a problem twice on board when I didn't get the credit so I'd suggest you bring a copy of your statement with you. Got the credit both times after they checked with the home office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guxu Posted February 5, 2014 #24 Share Posted February 5, 2014 You can check your shareholder OBC on Carnival's web site (or just call them), no matter you booked your cruise directly from Carnival or through TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCruiseMe Posted February 5, 2014 Author #25 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Great, thanks for all the info. Glad JPG worked before and I'll definitely bring a copy now that you mention it if it doesn't show up before we leave...no, I'll bring it anyway. Thanks you all have made m feel much better.
