After you have a cruise booked, you have to apply to Princess, attaching a copy of your brokerage statement to prove you own the shares. If you go on line you will see the form that you need to fill out. Alternatively, you can send a letter that includes all this information. The form (or letter) have to be sent by snail mail or by fax. The address and fax number are shown on the Princess site. Princess has not been accepting emailed applications.

franktown Posted December 4, 2020 #6 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) As others have stated they are accepting email applications. Just did this 2 weeks ago and my OBC was added to my account the next day. You still have to email the form and the required proof of ownership.

skynight Posted December 4, 2020 #8 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Have not used the 'official' form recently. Just faxed a properly blacked out copy of the page of our most recent brokerage statement and a cover letter with the booking number(s), sailing date(s) and ship to Princess. Sample below. You can probably also use the 'official' form as a cover letter, but I don't believe you can enter multiple booking numbers and dates for b2b's automatically on the form. Manual written entry could be done. For the last few years the OBC was posted within a day, sometimes the same day. Fax Princess Cruises, Booking Support 24303 Town Center Dr., Suite 200 Santa Clarita, CA 91355 1-661-753-0180 (fax) Ref: Carnival Shareholder On Board Credit Gentlemen/Women: Please apply the Carnival Corporation shareholder on board credit to our three (3) Crown Princess cruises listed below. Here are the details: Name: Booking Number(s): Ship & Sailing date(s): Proof of ownership document faxed with this cover letter. Very truly yours, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI...Make sure that you include a page that shows your address so they know it’s you that owns the stock. You also need to block out your account number. I once applied for the stock credit & failed to include my address & name info. I use fax zero that is a free fax service. Tom😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperSniper4 Posted December 8, 2020 #13 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'm amazed Princess is still offering the Stock Ownership OBC. Hopefully they still will be when I finally get the courage to book another cruise.....maybe the end of 2021....of course, the Princess board may terminate that program on their next meeting.

We will see. Optimistic Carnival Corp will extend the benefit when they meet. It's good marketing for their brands including Princess and other brands around the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Princess board. Princess is part of the Carnival Corporation. The stockholder OBC is for all cruise lines owned by the Carnival Corporation. Given it is basically a marketing tool that costs the company very little, there should not really be a reason to not extend it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperSniper4 Posted December 8, 2020 #16 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Understand that Princess is part of CCL. .................... ...and I will be amazed if the board continues to offer the stock ownership bonus. It's nice, but I'm not counting on it for my planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During this time it is imperative that they get the support from shareholders to get through this. We don't sail with Princess because of the SB, instead we purchase the shares because to us it is important to invest in the company that we use and enjoy. In some way we become both stockholders and stakeholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted December 9, 2020 #19 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Imagine how much stock would get sold the week after they cancelled that program. Sorry but many bought it just for the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperSniper4 Posted December 10, 2020 #20 Share Posted December 10, 2020 "Imagine how much stock would get sold the week after they cancelled that program. Sorry but many bought it just for the OBC. " Understand that. I just wonder how many CCL stock holders bought their 100 shares with that thought. Many surely have bought it for an investment, without much thought of cruising. I don't really know. Maybe someone does? In any event, I am pleased that for now CCL is still offering that bonus. Princess also has an exceptional military benefit, which is one of the reasons I prefer Princess among the CCL stable.😎 Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the big time investors and their computer programs that determine market moves, not passengers that hold minimum shares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted December 10, 2020 #22 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Do you think Carnival cruise line wants to take the chance of a stock sell off? I highly doubt it. I do not know a single person who has bought their stock as an investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it was going up and paying a dividend (which before it was stopped was double what it was when we bought the stock), it was a good investment made even better by the OBC we received on Carnival, Princess, and HAL.

Most are probably the big time players that move market price. There are about 775 million shares outstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted December 11, 2020 #25 Share Posted December 11, 2020 There are also plenty who bought shares just for the OBC. If just 10% decide to sell that is 77.5 million shares at current price per share. Can Carnival afford to pay that amount of money out along with taking a hit on share price? Not likely these days.
