Carnival Stock Question

[FloatingSunGoddess]

When you own Carnival stock and qualify for the on board credit, can you use that multiple times per year on different cruises? Are they phasing this benefit out (I noticed the current announcement is good for cruises through July 31, 2016 or do they reissue announcements each year?)

 

Thanks for any info you may have :)

You can use it on every cruise that you pay for. They renew every year their policies at the meeting in July

POP's is right. You can use it on each, and every Carnival, or Carnival owned ship you sail. (Just got it on my next Princess cruise..) ;) It's a GREAT benefit, and yes, it's been renewed each and every year. Let's hope they keep doing that! :cool:

Agree with both the above posts. The renewal of this benefit usually shows up on Carnival's shareholder site in March or April.

How many shares do you need to own?

the use for benefits is unlimited. I got $1650 in 2014. :) I didn't sail with them as much last year.

We even got the shareholder credit on a free cruise! :D

How did you get that...?

When we have a casino rate or a free cruise (won)..They shut me down, no shareholder credit for you...

We got a bounce back offer and paid to upgrade to a balcony and were able to get the shareholder credit.

The only cruise we couldn't get it on was a "free cruise". I won a cruise in the "comment card drawing" on previous cruise, and because all I paid was tax and port fees, I couldn't use the shareholder benefit.

 

Ive never been denied, or even questioned on any other rate.

When was this, they wouldn't give it to me since they said it was a free cruise. (this was last year)

I get the shareholder credit every time I cruise and always cruise on a casino reduced fare or free. The OP should also know that CCL stock has historically paid a dividend quarterly which is another plus.
