LoveThisCruisingThing Posted November 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I know this had been asked before, but I never paid any attention to it. However, with the cost of the stock being low, I bought 100 shares last night. How do I get the OBC now? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSaltyDawg Posted November 20, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Email your brokerage statement showing the ownership of 100 shares of Carnival stock in your name, or a copy of the stock certificate to: lmcdaniel@princesscruises.com Include the booking number of your cruise, ship, sailing date, and ask for an email confirmation of the credit. This can only be done after final payment has been made, and must be done before sailing on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pia1913 Posted November 20, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I thought I did good by buying at $18 :eek::eek: You did, which is the price I paid about ten years ago. Keep the faith. It'll go up. Eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARGIN Posted November 20, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You did, which is the price I paid about ten years ago. Keep the faith. It'll go up. Eventually. I'll only need it to go up if I intend to sell. I bought it for the shareholder credit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalconyBumz Posted November 21, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'll only need it to go up if I intend to sell. I bought it for the shareholder credit. :) But what if they take that away? Rumor has it something could change, either take it away or minimize the use of it to 1 a year or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted November 21, 2008 #8 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If you do own stock and get the OBC, do you also qualify for the Future Cruise Deposit OBC when used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it something could change, either take it away or minimize the use of it to 1 a year or something. I do not live in a "what if" world. We will find out if anything changes when their annual report comes out (usually in February/March). They've already said there would be no dividends for the first quarter of '09 and the loss of 40 cents/share does not make me shiver. :D Anyhow, I have cashed in so many times they don't owe me a thing.

macaroni Posted November 22, 2008 #16 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I never realized that Princess did this OBC with stock like other lines do. How much OBC for how much stock. I think when I did it for Celebrity...I sold it right after I got my credit. Is it the same with Princess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveThisCruisingThing Posted November 22, 2008 Author #17 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I had been wanting to buy 100 shares but the price was never quite within reach. The other day it hit around $16 so I snapped it up. This is a "fun" stock just so I can get the shareholder credit. If it gives dividends, great. If not, the sharehold credit will suffice. I can just imagine what my dad is thinking about this purchase. (hard to make these decisions without his guidance now). Although knowing my dad he would think.....hey you get something out of it even though it might tank. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
