shanecindy21403 Posted May 10, 2013 #76 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I just found out about this after 11 cruises just on Princess, not counting the 5 on Carnival. Just getting the OBC the stock would pay for itself. I opened up an on line stock account 2 days ago, funded it and put in my order yesterday for my shares checked this am and I have my confirmation and I'm now a proud owner of CCL stock.

Now you need to take a cruise to start recouping your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecindy21403 Posted May 10, 2013 #79 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Way to Go. Now you need to take a cruise to start recouping your money. Booked a B2b as 2 separate cruises this morning so I get OBC for each segment YEA ME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanecindy21403 Posted May 10, 2013 #81 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Excellent!! I assume you also used a FCC for each person for each leg. Most definitely I don't get off the ship without purchasing at least 1 each. I figured those out my first cruise. That's like free money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted May 10, 2013 #82 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I always have more than I think I might use before my next cruise. Got off in March with 6 each. Down to 3 each. Cruising in September. Should make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoBaycruiser Posted May 11, 2013 #83 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks for all your help. I purchased the stock yesterday and got electronic confirmation today. I have a copy of a form to apply for the benefit filled out that I got off a TA site. It says the proof and forms can be emailed. I tried that email address and it was returned. Anyone have a valid email for shareholder benefits? I saw a FAX number but just bought a brand new printer/fax machine and haven't figured out how to fax with it yet. I want to be sure this gets to Princess as soon as possible because the two week prior deadline is on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be either snail mail or fax. If you don't have a fax machine, I use Faxzero dot com It is a free fax service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go-Bucks! Posted May 19, 2013 #92 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I use Faxzero dot com. It is a free fax service. Paul, I have a pdf copy of my brokerage statement saved on my computer, but before I would fax it to Princess I want to delete my personal info (such as acct # and other funds). I've tried to alter the statement, but can't. Did you send the whole page or how did you delete sensitive info? Thx for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I print the page, black out personal info like account number and other holdings, and then I scan it back into my computer. The scanned copy is what I fax.

I've tried to alter the statement, but can't. Did you send the whole page or how did you delete sensitive info? There are many ways to redact areas of a document. In the absence of a scanner or an application that facilitates redaction, open your document in a graphics application. Perhaps you have an image editing app. With the document open, select and copy some white or black space in the document and paste it over the data you want to redact. Keep pasting until everything you wish to redact is hidden. Save the document with a new name. You now have a document you can fax to Princess.

LoveThisCruisingThing Posted May 20, 2013 #98 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I bought 100 shares for the OBC. My dad thought it was a crazy buy and I would never get my investment back. Well the stock has almost doubled and I am about 1/3 of the way to recouping my initial investment. Not too shabby and I bet my dad is shaking his head that is daughter did ok on this one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad should be proud of you. :D I bought mine 4.5 yrs ago for $10/share LESS than it was worth on Friday!! Plus I've gotten so much OBC since then that I've now made $400 more than I paid for it. Can't beat a deal like that. And mine's in my retirement IRA so I have my dividends rolled over and then earn more shares; I started with 100 but now have 109.

cvpends Posted May 21, 2013 #100 Share Posted May 21, 2013 This is a great thread! Thanks to all of you, I have my order in for my CCL stock and should be able to take advantage of it immediately for our Golden to Alaska in June, and then again when on the Carnival Magic to the Caribbean in July. I also have the Crown booked for next April, and who knows when else I'll be able to take advantage of this deal. Now I just need to get some of those future cruise certificates for further savings :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
