CCL Stock & OBC

Recommended Posts

 Greetings shipmates! We just booked the December 30th sailing of the Liberty. It’s been a while since we sailed on Carnival and I’m wondering if CCL stock ownership still gets us some onboard credit? I seem to recall there was a $50 per cabin credit for sailings of less than seven days. Would love to pursue but I’m having trouble finding out how to do this as it’s been a few years. Thank you in advance and happy Thanksgiving! 

 

Went to check out my rollcall and it looks pretty quiet for a sailing only one month away. Are the various social media sites taking precedence over rollcall links now? That makes me so sad. No mix/mingle either. Bummer!

This says "Please provide by fax or by mail". Then you give the email address to send a fax or mail to? They no longer accept email. Only Fax and Mail(i.e. USPS). The Best method for them is FAX, their whole work flow is based on their fax system.

Yup... that what it says.  What it doesn't say is that you can email this in.  I emailed my request Nov 18 2019, and got a reply back Nov 21 saying the OBC has been applied.

Last time I asked them they said they didn't take emails. I'll call tomorrow before I pay to fax my latest cruise. I will have my booking numbers tomorrow....  Thanks in advance. I always like saving a few bucks.

I like to save money too. There are numerous FREE fax services online for low volume users. I download my proof of ownership, put my details on a cover sheet and hit send. Easiest $100. I ever made.

I have always used the GuestAdmin@carnival.com email address to request the OBC.  I always get a reply within 24 - 48 hours.  I will be using it again once they extend the cut off date past July of this year.

 

After looking at the shareholder benefits page, I do not see the email address listed on the document outlining how to request it.

I'd be completely surprised if they told you can email.  I'm sure they are suppose to parrot what the form says when speaking with a customer.

Give emailing the form a shot first.  As others contest, it works just fine.

I have been a rule follower and have been faxing (efax) my shareholder OBC requests.  They usually get back to me within 2-3 business days (via e-mail).

 

I reached out to Guest admin a couple of days ago asking them about emailing.  Here is their response:

I got this information over the phone as well. They said they would reject the emails.  Regardless, I have no problem playing by their rules.  That is, I will FAX the information because that is what they have told me to do.  

 

If their reason is only to protect my privacy then, I will also follow their guidelines, someone might accidentally send them an account number or something else sensitive via email.  Providing instructions to not send them emails protects CCL and it protects the shareholder.  I once had an attorney's office email my Social Security Number, I dropped them like a bad habit.  Not taking steps to protect a customer's or client's Social Security number is a crime.  Having a corporation like CCL protect my identity, when I wasn't even thinking about it myself, impresses me.  Just the fact that they saw the potential liability at sought to protect themselves impresses me as well.

I find it amusing that they think sending by email is a bad way to send this 'sensitive' information but a fax is fine. A fax machine is more accessible to prying eyes than an email. I have always sent an email requesting my OBC and have had zero problems.

Just learned an interesting fact yesterday. We sent in two requests for OBC three days ago. One for each of the weeks on our February B2B.  Each on had a Fax Cover Sheet with cruise info and a copy of the Stock report and we sent them together in one fax. We received OBC for the 1st week but not for the second. So I called. Got a really nice lady who did the research and told us they thought it was only one cruise.  She gave me the OBC for the 2nd cruise which was $150 and this advice. Use 1 fax cover sheet and put both booking numbers and dates on that sheet and indicate that it is a B2B. You will get $250 because that is actually considered a 14 day cruise. You will get $100 on the first week and $150 on the second week. Who knew!

On Carnival dot com,

1. sign in

2. go to "manage my cruise"

3. middle left side click on "print documents"

4. uncheck "print luggage tags"

5. check "print general information"

6. click on the red box "print" (you won't really print it--don't worry)

7. go to page 2 and on the middle left side is a box showing onboard credit

No, I do not expect it to end.  It will be voted on during the April Board meeting whether to extend for one more your.  This occurs every year.  This program has been in place since at least my last cruise in 2007... I fully expect it to continue.

That didn't happen to us.  Last year we were on a 7-day B2B with a 12-day Journey's cruise.  Received $100 on each cruise.  You must have lucked out.  Each cruise is a separate cruise.

 

We're doing a 14-day Journey's cruise soon & have $250 OBC on my account.
