ssbeagle Posted February 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If you own stock in Carnival, can you get shipboard credit? If so, how do you get it for your cruise? I know how it's done on Princess but we've never sailed on Carnival. Our first one is coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksanson Posted February 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yes you can but there are certain requirements, I'm not sure how much you have to own. If you qualify for the shareholders credit you're also eligible for any other OBC offers going on. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeagle Posted February 9, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 9, 2017 We do qualify but what I need to find out is how do I get it? What do I have to do? Is there a form I need to send to Carnival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksanson Posted February 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Sorry, I'm not sure how to get it. Wish I could help you. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbCRR Posted February 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Use a recent copy of your brokerage form. Redact (black out) your account number and info on any other stock on it. I even redact the totals and value. They just need to see your name and that you own 100 shares of CCL. Write your booking number, ship and sail date on it. Fax to 305.406.6102 Mine always shows up within a few days. Remember, you have to print your "General Information" to see the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_99 Posted February 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Go to carnivalcorp.com look for investor relations>shareholder information>shareholder benefit. You should see a PDF telling you what information you need to provide and where to mail/fax your information.

PlanoDebbie Posted February 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 9, 2017 We do qualify but what I need to find out is how do I get it? What do I have to do? Is there a form I need to send to Carnival? You do the exact same thing you did for the OBC on Princess, but you fax it to the Carnival shareholder benefits number. http://www.carnivalcorp.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit Click on the blue link and it gives you a pdf copy of the contact information for every cruise line owned by Carnival that qualifies for the shareholder OBC benefit. We've used it for Princess, HAL and Carnival. They generally post it to your online documents in about a week or two. It's non-refundable if you choose not to use it.

maluhia87 Posted February 9, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 9, 2017 So how long does the cruise have to be to get $100 OBC? Currently the amounts are: 14 days or longer $250 7 - 13 days $100 6 days or less $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys2Heaven Posted February 9, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Currently the amounts are:14 days or longer $250 7 - 13 days $100 6 days or less $50 Wow, purchase $5500 of stock for $100 OBC. If we lived near a cruise port and could cruise a few times a year, this might be an option. We're once/year cruisers. The amount of OBC is based on the length of the cruise.

Yes, this is really only feasible if you have a stock portfolio anyway and you are looking for a place to let some money sit. I bought 350 shares at around 46 a share thinking that it would just be static money and hoping that it at least would not lose money. To my delight we are now around 55 a share. I bought more than I need because I expect the required shares owned to get OBC to go up one day and who knows what price it will be then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This April we're doing our 25th cruise. Almost got my money back in OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted February 9, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What if I booked through a TA? Do they have to be included in the process? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeagle Posted February 9, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What if I booked through a TA? Do they have to be included in the process? Sent from my iPhone using Forums The TA is not involved in this at all. This is between you and the cruise line. Thank you all for the info on how to get the credit thru carnival. It looks a lot easier than other lines. We cruise 2 to 3 times a year and this has really paid off. It gives me a little extra spending money and I have had only one cruise here I actually got a few dollars back. One more question. Does Carnival give an OBC to military and retirees from the military? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
