Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Yup... it's always been that way.  The board reviews this perk once each year and votes to keep it or not.

Lol they transferred my stockholders credit to my sept 2021 cruise. I have it and can see it's already been applied. Rules are meant to be broken.

I applied at the beginning of the month for my July 3rd, 2021 cruise. That is the only one I listed on my statement. When I got my email back, they informed my that they also applied the OBC to my March 2022 cruise. I did not even request that, or provide my booking number, because I knew I had to wait until after July 31st. I did check and the OBC is on my cruise for this year and next year.

 

It is bizarre that they are not even being consistent with that.

[Saint Greg]

It depends on who processes it. I’ve had them give me OBC that wasn’t approved yet in the past.

[highcorral25]

So I am confused here....

 

I have a 6 Night in November 2021, and a 7 Night in Feb 2022.  I own CCL stock (200 shares).  Will I get the $50 OBC for each of these cruises?

Your 6 night should get you $50 and your 7 night should get you $100.  For future reference,  a 14 night is worth $250.

Since CCL sold more shares last year, it is possible and reasonable that the required number of shares holding would raise from 100 to 250. Pure personal speculation.

But it is more likely that they will just do what they do every year and routinely pass the stockholder's OBC as it is.

Sold CCL, bought GME.

It would surprise me at all if it wasn’t renewed this year based on the current environment.

I think it already has been, unchanged. The Annual Report should be published in the next few weeks.

Do you have any further word on this stock #. I'm holding 160 would like to stay with that  but 90 more

is still affordable.  Your thoughts

My thoughts are sell the 60 until they reinstate the dividend in a few years. Most Carnival stock is held by institutions that don't get the benefit anyway

Then I would hold. If it goes to 0 you haven't lost much. It will be years before it could go to pre-Covid days with all the debt they have taken on. OTOH, someone could pull a Gamestop on them.

I just posted something on my facebook about Warren Buffets ownership of the rail line that carries oil from Canada to the US. With the pipeline stopped that stock will go back up---wonder if  anyone shorted that.  I should "HUNT.  ' that down

I think it is approved by the board at the shareholder's meeting, which is later than the annual report filing. Probably late April or May.

I believe they generally meet in April.

[oldracer]

I applied to have my credit applied to my Sep 2021 cruise last August. It was approved and showed up on my account. Now, I no longer see it there. Guess I will have to reapply after July .

[famski740]

When the Annual Report is available (usually toward end of February or beginning of March), check the Table of Contents and there will be a section which will address the Shareholder Benefit, if it has been re-approved.

The total number of shares has no nexus to the shareholder benefit. A few companies offer benefits to investors who hold at least what Wall St. considers a "lot" or 100 shares. They are not really interested in "Georges" who buy a single share receiving anything of value. 

 

My thinking is that the benefit will remain the same. The benefit is not intended to be motivation to book a cruise, rather offered as a thank you for investing in the corporation. Carnival's offer is one of the best but I enjoy others. IHG offers a special website with much deeper discounts on hotel rooms than Expedia, Ford offers factory "X" pricing for one lot shareholders who have owned them for at least 6 months, one vehicle per year, IBM has a special online pricing for laptops at 25% off, & Kimberly Clark offer a box chuck full of Kleenex and Scott products for about $20 with coupon to get more products cheaper. The toilet paper came in handy this last year. 

 

I would not invest in any stock to get a shareholder perk, but if it makes economic sense why not?
