Carnival Shareholder Benefit Question

[stoddaj1]

I understand that to receive the shareholder benefit you need to own 100 shares.  Do the shares need to be in once person's name or can the total 100 come from both partners? ie 60 shares/40 shares?

[cellfree]

One person's name.

And also only one shareholder OBC per cabin even if both hold 100 shares or more.

At this point, is the program still going on?

Yes, still get OBC if you own 100 shares or more, based on length of cruise. Some of these people that were paying attention scooped up shares when it was down below $10, some scored at $7.

[mondello]

Some think it will be raised to a minimum of 200 shares in the future; 100 shares gets the benefit at this time.

Hi

 

I would say that at this point nothing is going on, except trying to determine how best to start up operations again.

 

That being said, at this point they haven't suspended the program, as they have with the dividends, but that can change. I believe the question is revisited at company general meetings twice a year. This question should be addressed again in August.

Perhaps they'll surprise everyone and expand the program - FREE CHEERS for those with 1000 shares!   😄

First time I heard this rumour. Who are the some people who told you this?

They transferred my 100 obc from a cruise last year to one this sept. I'd say that's a indication they don't expect it to change, though usually you cant add shareholder obc a year in advance. Surprised me when my ta said it was transferred.

I may have started this rumor and it was just a thought that since prices dropped so low and many people purchased stock, it may occur to them to increase the required ownership level for the OBC to a higher value. I do not think Carnival thought that at some point people would be able to get $100 OBC per cruise for a $700 buy in which would have cost 5000 last year.

Absolutely nothing from Carnival to base that on. The program has existed for decades with no changes, including immediately after 9/11.

Yes, no indication from Carnival of any change.

They already renewed it for another year. I also got my OBC rolled over earlier this year when I re-booked. it surprised me.

Yes, it has already been renewed at their last board meeting. It gets renewed annually. It is a marketing tool that costs them practically nothing. There is no reason to end it despite rumors started on these boards to the contrary.

 Exactly. People think this is like a dividend payment. Its $100 in OBC which typically goes to purchasing $100 in drinks that costs CCL $9.

Institutional investors also hold the majority of the shares, so the exposure of the benefit for Carnival Corp is relatively low.

It's been years since I took advantage of this - is it still proper procedure to mail supporting info to interline@carnival.com ?

I'm curious as to how to do this as well.  This'll be my first cruise as a shareholder.  Yes, I'm one of those that bought in at $8 last year 😊

Good timing (I'm more at the $20 point).

 

Wish I had not sold my (mined) Ethereum at $150 a few years back.... !!!
