I didn't think to give my email address, just my snail mail address. How will I know if it goes through? Should I send it again with my email address. I didn’t send my email address either. I think they get it from your account with the booking id you give them. Wouldn’t hurt to fax again. But they may just be slow. I faxed mine again after a week and ended up getting responses back from that fax and my original. EDIT: I did fax and email the second time but I think they only responded to the fax because below their email it has a transmission time from my submission and it looked like a fax they were responding to.

thesmiths Posted January 29, 2019 #29 Share Posted January 29, 2019 How late/early prior to the cruise can you send? After the final payment ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razzinger Posted January 29, 2019 #30 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The Carnival shareholder PDF says it must be submitted 3 weeks prior to sailing. The same PDF says the benefit is only available on cruises thru July 31, 2019; so I am surprised to see others mention already receiving OBC for their sailings in 2020. I have a HAL cruise booked for Sept. to Alaska, and have held off submitting it until they extend the offer. I called Carnival and asked, they said a new extension should be issued this month.

bowlinmoe Posted January 29, 2019 #31 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Some thoughts... $56.40 - Current Carnival share price $5,640.00 - Total cost to buy 100 shares (plus any trading fees) Dividend is great now at about 3.6%. Assuming you go on one 7 day cruise each year, that's an extra $100 for you which equates to about a 1.77% return ($100 dollars into your $5,640 cost of the stock). This isn't factoring how much you spend on the actual cruise, of course. This brings your total return up to about 5.37% BEFORE any possible stock price appreciation. Not a bad deal.

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted January 29, 2019 #32 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Reading the CCL PDF here: http://www.carnivalcorp.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit States "The benefit is applicable on sailings through July 31, 2019" and "Reservations must be made by February 28, 2019". Hope this isn't the end of this 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iltutcruiser Posted January 29, 2019 #33 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Question : If I bought 100 shares and booked a cruise using one of the VIFP offers, does that mean I cannot receive the OBC from the stock ?

As long as the cruise is not completely comped then you get the benefit (although they have given me the credit even though I was on a free cruise). The worse they can say is no.

I bought at 48 earlier this month so I'm already up $840 on the stock. And I've got $300 total OBC approved for cruises over the next 13 months. Plus the dividends when they come. Not bad at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was at 50 I set an auto buy at 48. And when it went down next it bought it for me automatically...if you have a number in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
