grsnovi Posted May 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2018 How does the whole CCL stock thing work with OBC? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea42 Posted May 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2018 It is a very painless process! Here is a link that will get the pdf that explains what you need to do: http://www.carnivalcorp.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit The OBC is based on the length of the cruise: $250 for 14 days and up $100 for 7-13 days $50 for 6 or less days You do need to own 100 shares at the time you apply for the OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveOKC Posted May 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I always have my HAL PCC (personal cruise consultant) do it for me at the time of booking. A good TA should be able to do it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boze9999 Posted May 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The stock that keeps on giving! The more you sail, the more you get! AND you receive a nice dividend every quarter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SauvBlanc Posted August 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'll be cruising in Nov and just discovered that I own 100 shares! If I purchase a wine package now, can I apply the $100 towards that or can I only use the credit for purchases made once I'm on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2018 You can not use any ship board credit until you are on the ship. So if you buy the wine package now, it will be charged to your credit card. If I were you -- wait until you are on the ship to buy the wine package -- the price will be the same.

So if you wait to purchase your wine package after you board, it will apply.

Good to buy it on board because sometimes there are different wines from ones posted as stock varies. Let's you choose the package that is best for you.

propwash Posted January 19, 2019 #15 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Do days on a land portion of the land/cruise count the same as sea days, SO on our 18 day land/cruise, is it 18 days or only 7 days for the sea portion? Thanks Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestyling Posted January 19, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 19, 2019 My understanding is it is only for sailing. Here from the shareholder site: Carnival Corporation & plc is pleased to extend the following benefit to our shareholders: SHAREHOLDER BENEFIT Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 14 days or longer Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 7 to 13 days Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 6 days or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Danny The shareholder credit will be applied to shipboard expenses. The shareholder credit will be based on total cruisetour days. For 18 days you will receive $250 OBC. On some Yukon cruisetours of 14 total days with only 3-4 days on the ship it can be hard to spend the OBC (excursions while you are on the ship work...maybe in Ketchikan, or gratuities, or buy some jewelry!)

Caribbean Chris Posted January 19, 2019 #19 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I’d like to add that HAL does an excellent job managing this benefit. Once they receive the request from the shareholder, they process it very quickly. For people who may be put off by the idea of putting some cash into purchasing 100 shares, don’t forget you can buy the shares with money already held in an existing retirement account you have such as an IRA or 401k. While I certainly don’t advise others on how to invest, it has been a great investment for us that has doubled in value, paid dividends, and provided the above OBC on every HAL Cruise we’ve taken for the past ten years.

Thanks Danny Yes, all days on a land-sea trip count. We took a 14-night Alaska-Yukon trip yep years ago, and received 19 days credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
