Buckeye_Siggy Posted February 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2023 All, I have two cruises planned for later this year. Both are ‘free’ cruises using a casino offer. I am thinking of buying the 100 stocks to get the onboard credits. This will be my 15th Carnival cruise and I probably should have done it sooner. my question is this - can I still get the shareholder onboard credit even if my room was through a casino offer? please advise. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted February 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Maybe yes, maybe no. Do you feel lucky? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my kids mama Posted February 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I tried twice and was told "no" both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye_Siggy Posted February 22, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Thanks MKM - I assumed that was likely the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubedobedo Posted February 22, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2023 They said no to me also. Free cruise, $200 deposit, $200 back as obc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoRoxy Posted February 23, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I submitted a request last Friday and was turned down yesterday. Not sad though, we got an amazing casino deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1kaper Posted February 23, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2023 On our last cruise (free room casino deal), I was turned down when I submitted it. My husband re-submitted it and was approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManOfBethesda Posted February 23, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Conversely, I booked a "free" 13-day transatlantic cruise last week on a casino rate ($100pp with $200 obc) and received an additional shareholder credit of $100 obc two days after I submitted my request.

cmichael1221 Posted February 23, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I was just denied on a casino offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafem Posted February 23, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I always get denied on carnival casino offers, but always get approved on princess casino offers. Consistency doesn't happen. But stock has more than paid for itself over the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted February 23, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2023 This is entirely dependent on who reviews your OBC request. Some people get it, others don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted February 23, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2023 One yes, one no. Same offer, same price, different sailings. No rhyme or reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianef Posted February 24, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Booked on casino offer and a couple of days after I submitted shareholders statement got denied.I decided to resubmit last Saturday and have not heard back yet.Maybe that department didn’t work over holiday weekend.It is frustrating when some get it with same offer and some don’t.Cruise is not till May 20 so have plenty of time to see if resubmitting works.

resetjet Posted February 24, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2023 A few get through but generally no. I would not buy stock on the chance of a maybe. Although i am up $100 on my $1000 worth!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbc234 Posted February 24, 2023 #15 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I just had my first denial on a casino rate. My cabin wasn't even free, just discounted. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianef Posted February 24, 2023 #17 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Just proves inconsistent they are.Still waiting for acceptance or rejection that I sent in last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john91498 Posted February 24, 2023 #18 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Had 3 cruises last year, 2 free and 1 discounted. Got the credit for all 3 cruises. The discounted cruise was even upgraded from balcony to suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
