[Vitamin_Sea]

No    you will not get it. Takes a few days for response

[DaveRRT]

I did with mine but upgraded to balcony so depends

[Jeff From NC]

I am cruising on the Mardi Gras in July...  Applied for on board credit, and it was approved about a week later.

Yes, I out it for it last Tuesday and received notice that it was granted on Thursday. It is a casino deal with $750 OBC for March 2024 on the Jubilee.

I failed on 3/10-dissapointing as we have another room as well for the kids...will attempt it on my hubbys name I guess.

 

Thank you for submitting your shareholder brokerage statement.

Regrettably, we are unable to process your request to apply the shareholder benefit with the referenced reservation.

In accordance with the terms of the shareholder onboard credit benefit, reservations with a reduced rate promotion do not qualify for the onboard credit. While it may have been inadvertently accepted in the past, we are now adhering to the conditions of the shareholder program.  We sincerely apologize for any disappointment this has caused and trust, that as a Carnival investor, you will understand our position in this matter.

Thank you for your continued support.  We look forward to welcoming you on board!

We sailed in November on a "free" room ($100 pp, with $100 OBC and freeplay) casino deal.  I submitted it and was denied.  It took awhile, over a month I think.  My husband re-submitted and was approved. 

[hard_eight]

Did in Jan, will submit for Aug and Nov this summer.

Trying again this morning for the 2nd time.  We don't sail until September so I have time.  But I received the same response as posted above.  Maybe this 2nd time will be the charm.  We are doing a 15 day Journeys cruise from NYC on the Venezia so $250 would be nice!

seems to be hit or miss

The thing is how far do they want to take the "reduced rate promotion" aspect. Even early saver could be seen as a reduced rate promotion if they really wanted to interpret it that way. But that would make the program absolutely meaningless because nobody pays brochure rates. Where is their line?

 

I guess it just drives home the fact that nobody should buy stocks just for a perk that could be rescinded or re-interpreted at any time.

You are correct with this point.  I only have 100 shares for this benefit.  And I really didn't think it could get much lower than when I bought it.  However, if I cannot get the $100 or $500 off my cruise I may just sell them and take my $300 profit and treat it as getting the benefit 3 times.  But I really want the $500 on the long cruise.😁

The limit is $250 OBC for 14+ days sailing.  How are you coming up with $500?

I doubt most are cruising under casino rates, and they aren't nobody.

 

The actually shareholder credit has never been suspended and is easier to obtain than on other cruise lines like Royal.

Yeah, they never gave me the shareholder credit on Royal.

 

The fact that I only owned CCL stock might have something to do with it.🤪

Most Royal loyals I know sold their RCL stock because the shareholder credit was a joke

I came up with $500 because, simply, I'm a dork.

$250 is correct and what I meant.

🤪

Just a data point for reference:
I submitted my shareholder claim on 3/13 (at night time) and was approved on 3/15 for my November cruise.  So claims are being handled very quickly at the moment.
