spikecat Posted May 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Does HAL still give shipboard credit for owning stock? Would it be $250 for an 18 day cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted May 13, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yes -- and it can be combined with other shipboard credit you may get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokiePoq Posted May 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yes -- and it can be combined with other shipboard credit you may get. This is a big plus. I bought Carnival stock to get the $250 credit on our upcoming cruise. Not only did I get that....better return than any other 3K investment I've made lately....but the stock has since gone up. Talked to some on our recent Celebrity cruise. Their credit is rarely given as they claim most any special offer or OBC invalidates the stock credit. Not worth buying RCCL for that reason, but the person had his stock to go up as Carnival's did in the past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMLincoln Posted May 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Plus the dividend, $100 annual on 100 shares. And more fun than the bank :) m-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1of4 Posted May 14, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Can anyone tell me if you buy 200 shares and then take a 20 day cruise would you get $500 OBC? Or is the $250 the max OBC that they will provide per booking number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oofroggie Posted May 14, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Also it is only good for 1 person if sharing a room. If both own stock only one can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more fun than the bank :) m-- Yep and with dividend reinvestment, even more shares and higher returns if you believe that the stock itself will continue to have share price appreciation. We're up to 111 and a fractional share since we turned dividend reinvestment on. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have already received updated booking confirmation showing OBC for our Baltic Cruise in August![emoji41][emoji93] Wow!! great customer service! Planning first HAL cruise but already own CCL stock. What number did you fax it to and is there some form required (like Princess) or can you just include your booking name, booking number and cruise date?

Mary Ellen Posted June 15, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2015 No form like Princess. The info about where to send the fax can be found using the link in post #3. DH always requests a confirmation email when faxing in my stock info. We typically have received that within 15 minutes (when he sends the fax during business hours).

Caribbean Chris Posted June 15, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 15, 2015 A solid deal for reasons above. We had our broker buy some for my husband's IRA, and it's easy to get an updated statement from him before we cruise each time. We black out part of the account number before sending. If you don't have a Fax, make a PDF copy, and email that. Usually receive a very quick acknowledgement. Great that the system for this works so smoothly. We bought another 100 shares during a drop after Costa Concordia, and the price bounced back up soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryl12 Posted June 15, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We bought 100 shares of Carnival a few years ago and between the on board credits and dividends have more than paid for the stock. Such a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I had originally clicked on the post 3 link it went to the CCL page for shareholders. I didn't then realize that clicking on a link on that page would give me the info for all CCL affiliated lines. Now I do... Thanks again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffin Posted June 15, 2015 #17 Share Posted June 15, 2015 14 dat cruise from Sydney to Aukland in early 2016. If we bought stock now, can we use it for credit on that trip. Booked and deposit paid already. What is going rate now ***** DOW? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer slope Posted June 15, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 15, 2015 $47.23 is the current price. I believe you need to own the stock 90 days before sailing but I'm sure someone more knowing than me will provide the correct information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have your TA confirm you got it (they can tell), or you can see it online if you booked through HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity1499 Posted June 16, 2015 #22 Share Posted June 16, 2015 We bought 100 shares of Carnival a few years ago and between the on board credits and dividends have more than paid for the stock.Such a deal. We bought the stock when it was down to $18 & change in 2009 & it has paid off very well for us.. Only wish we bought more at that time, but I was too chicken to buy more.. This is one of our best investments.. 14 dat cruise from Sydney to Aukland in early 2016. If we bought stock now, can we use it for credit on that trip. Booked and deposit paid already. What is going rate now ***** DOW? Thx Yes you can! The CCL rules state reservations have to be made prior to Feb. 29, 2016 but wonder how often they enforce that.. Seems to me we've booked a couple of months prior to departure & received it, but don't remember for sure.. Has anyone else ever booked a couple of months before & received this OBC? Wonder if it makes a difference when you have held the stock for a long time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRFBQN Posted June 16, 2015 #23 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi, all, We bought our CCL shares at the beginning of this year and cruised in mid-February - the OBC came through just great! The only tricky thing is that I didn't have a statement yet showing ownership, so I used a copy of the purchase transaction and that worked. I just used the same copy for OBC on our cruise this August and got an confirming email a few minutes later that it's all taken care of. Easy!

DaveOKC Posted June 16, 2015 #25 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If you cruise often and use a HAL PCC, when you book the new cruise they can just use the information from the previous cruise for your stockholder credit! Quick and easy that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
