Wayfairers Posted January 17, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2012 According to CCL Shareholder benefits page http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9MTA5ODY5fENoaWxkSUQ9LTF8VHlwZT0z&t=1 ....."This benefit is available to shareholders holding a minimum of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc. Employees, travel agents cruising at travel agent rates, tour conductors or anyone cruising on a reduced-rate or complimentary basis are excluded from this offer." My question is what does "anyone cruising on a reduced-rate" mean? Does that mean if I pay anything less than the rate published in the brochure that I don't get the OBC?

cherylandtk Posted January 17, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2012 No, it does not. There are travel industry rates, such as mentioned above, that do not qualify...kind of like airline interline rates. But a simple sale rate, or discounted TA rate still qualifies. A flash fare may or may not qualify, depends on the fine print at the time of booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfairers Posted January 17, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks! I thought surely everyone talking about getting the OBC wasn't paying full fare for the cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 17, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have only heard of it not applying to interline rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lessum Posted January 17, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 17, 2012 What about military rates? And do you know how much the OBC is? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 17, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2012 What about military rates? And do you know how much the OBC is?Thanks For qualifying active and retired military, the benefit is: Less than 7 day cruise = $50 7 to 13 days = $100 14 or more = $250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted January 17, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Also includes former military with at least 2 years of service (less if you've been in a war zone) and an honorable discharge, not just "retired" per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted January 18, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2012 For qualifying active and retired military, the benefit is:Less than 7 day cruise = $50 7 to 13 days = $100 14 or more = $250 I think this is the OBC for military on Princess, and has nothing to do with shareholder OBC.

Underwatr Posted January 18, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It's been my understanding that the stockholder and military OBC formulas were the same.
