Shareholder benefits for Non-US

[Alphen]

I have looked through this forum, regarding the shareholder benefits and I am left with two questions I could not find the answer;

 

Is the shareholder benefit of OBC for Holland America also applicable to non US residents (European)?

 

Is it only possible to Fax, or is it also possible to e-mail a proof of ownership and if so, which e-mail address?

The benefit is for shareholders, no matter where you reside. Speak to your TA about the best way to show proof of ownership.

If you google "CCL stock holders benefits " it will give you numbers for England.

Here is the link to the site .

Your TA can fax the information in for you.

 

I have had great success in making a pdf file of my required shareholder/voyage docs and then using an online fax service like eFax (there are several), which are free to the user.

OP lives in Holland . I'm not sure but Efax works in Europe. i use Efax from my computer all the time to send in my forms.

This time when I faxed the information to HAL only part of each page when through. I went to two different fax businesses and the same thing happened. I ended up mailing the information to them. I always ask for a confirmation email when the OBC has been added, so I knew there was a problem with the faxes. They always email you right away when they get them

You can fax or snail mail, but you cannot e-mail the proof of ownership.

Any idea why? Faxes were around when typewriters were the office mainstay, but most businesses now use email attachments.

Efax works here too, I have used it way in the past, but discontinued using it, but thanks for the tip!

I think it was about a year ago, maybe longer, Carnival Corp made the statement that they believed there were security problems sending financial info via email and stopped the practice of emailing statements for Stock Credit. Prior to that it was allowed.

I'm in the UK and I got my benefit. I don't have a fax and booked direct with HAL so just wrote to the Seattle address with, name cruise details and shareholding statement. All seems to work fine.

I email a PDF or JPG of my statement to my TA and that person gets it to HAL. A week or so later I receive confirmation by email from HAL and my TA that the credit has been posted.

We sent a PDF to enquiries@hollandamerica.co.uk .This is carnival head office in Southampton .

If your stockbroker holds the certicate they can also do this .

Hope this helps .

When we first bought the shares we were able to fax the information to obtain the shareholders benefit, but after a couple of cruises were told that in future to ask our Travel Agent to request the benefit, which we have done ever since. Our Travel Agent has to contact the HAL agent here in N Z to arrange for the OBC to be applied to our booking.

Thanks for all the info.

Thanks. It seems to me that there are secure solutions other than reverting to faxes or carrier pigeons, but better secure than otherwise. :)

There was also the issue of attachments containing nasty executables.
