Bimmer babe Posted June 25, 2018 #126 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I've even seen prices change from an early advanced online booking to a closer to cruise advanced online booking. That's why I always book excursions as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudithLynne Posted June 25, 2018 #127 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Not always true. I have seen excursion prices increased on board compared to booking in advance. Some times just $5 or $10 more, other times up to $30 more. Of course, some excursions do remain at the pre-cruise price. Well, I guess we are lucky as in all of our 42 cruises I have never seen that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAppleBear Posted June 25, 2018 #128 Share Posted June 25, 2018 how long in advance of booking a cruise (or sailing) would you need to own the 100 shares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAppleBear Posted June 25, 2018 #129 Share Posted June 25, 2018 oh, I see a little information here. So is the benefit just a promotional deal? it seems to indicate it ends july 30 2019? The benefit is applicable on sailings through July 31, 2019 aboard the brands listed below. Certain restrictions apply. Applications to receivethese benefits should be made at least three weeks prior to cruise departure date.

Employees, travel agents cruising at travel agent rates, tour conductors or anyone cruising on a reduced-rate or complimentary basis are excluded from this offer.

thinfool Posted June 25, 2018 #130 Share Posted June 25, 2018 how long in advance of booking a cruise (or sailing) would you need to own the 100 shares? There is no requirement, but a couple of weeks would be enough to complete the request for the benefit. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program is extended a year at a time. While there is no guarantee that they will continue to extend it, there is no reason to believe they won't.

So is the benefit just a promotional deal? it seems to indicate it ends july 30 2019? info found here: http://www.carnivalcorp.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit The Board of Directors approves this benefit one year at a time. It has been in place several years now, and I would expect them to continue to approve it every year in the future. If they did not renew it, they would have a lot of unhappy stockholders and a lot of people selling stock at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a promotional deal , just a benefit of stock ownership . Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted June 26, 2018 #136 Share Posted June 26, 2018 If they did not renew it, they would have a lot of unhappy stockholders and a lot of people selling stock at the same time. Average CCL stock volume of trading is about 4,000,000 shares (although Monday it was 16,764,807 shares. With the average daily volume being 4,000,000 shares if all of those were from CCL 100 share holders selling, that would be 40,000 people. So I do not think that a lack of benefit renewal will cause the daily volume to move much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form always has an expiration date and as they expire a new form with a new date will appear. I’ve used forms with expired dates and it does not affect it. You really don’t even need the form. Just provide Princess with a Voyage number, ship name, date of sailing and your name, email and phone number. You also need to send a copy of your brokerage statement (black out acct number and any other stock info not related to Carnival) and that’s it. I use a free, online fax service—Fax Zero. This has to be done for each individual voyage number, even if you’re doing several back to backs. Well worth it and a wonderful benefit!!
