They’re not currently administering any cruises after the 31st July 2023 as the benefit rates may change according to an email I’ve just received following a request for benefit on an Arcadia cruise later next year.

sandancer Posted December 11, 2022 #182 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Let’s hope they plan to standardise the benefits. I don’t get why we were given $250 on our recent Princess cruise but only £150 on our P&O cruise in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rates are the same as they have been for a long time, the difference being the currency exchange rates. Given a much lower £ gives them less in dollars for their HO, I do not see increasing the share benefit on £ ships will have any place in their minds. The rates have always been re assessed annually, presumably having to be set by the board, but have continued much the same. Always could be a change though. The rates for the following year tend to be announced a good three months ahead, so will.presumably be clear before final.payment dates when I think most people think of applying for the share benefit.

The post Brexit devaluation in the pound has not been factored into the P&O shareholder benefit, as it used to be in the past. Will it change next year, I very much doubt it.

However it was increased to £150 from £125 some time ago - circa 10 years ago. It may happen again but there again maybe not. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did it change from requesting once final balance has been paid? Princess still insist on not applying until 90 days before sailing. You could have sold your shares long before sailing the way P and O are currently administering this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't think Carnival are too worried about people buying and then selling the shares in order to obtain obc. The sums involved are minuscule in the scale of things. The cost to Carnival in actual profit for shareholder obc, is probably less than £50. Too little to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just interested in when the ruling for P and O became so relaxed while Princess are still very hot on it. I got a slap on the wrist from Princess recently for applying a week too early!

Rather better than the 2 weeks I spent arguing with Holland America in the US. ADD They also say as we booked via a TA I have to order a revised booking confirmation to see it??

slug33ukuk Posted January 2, 2023 #200 Share Posted January 2, 2023 On 5/3/2021 at 9:02 AM, reef112 said: A quick question for other shareholders. I bought enough shares to get the benefit on board. I used eToro - and I'm finding it impossible to find a page/document that gives all the required info to send on to Carnival for them to implement the on board extras. I've emailed eToro a few times, but whatever they come back with still doesn't seem to be right to fit the criteria Carnival would want. Who did you guys use to buy your Carnival shares? Anyone used eToro and know where I can find the correct info? Thanks in advance 🙂 Dan Hargreaves and Landsdown.....The first time I rang them and they inform the company about you holding shares......but they dont show up until you actually book in on board. PRINCESS do a similar thing.Tell them REF NO....SHIP...DATES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
