mrschrod Posted September 6, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi everyone, I had two questions I was hoping someone could answer. First, the Carnival OBC for having 100 shares, does this combine with other offers, such as having OBC with the booking? Second, is there a certain time frame I need to have held the Carnival stock for it to apply? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinsheer Posted September 6, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The OBC for Your Stock Shares will be on top of, or combined with your other OBC. I usually notify them 2-4 weeks before my cruise. As long as you can show proof of the Carnival Stock it will apply right away. No time frame to be held. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Beach Bum Posted September 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I don’t advise waiting but we forgot and did it 3 days before cruise last week and received the credit midway through the cruise. Note only one credit per stateroom even if two people in a room each own 100 shares individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would clarify that there's no requirement for holding time but you have to show evidence you hold the shares and most people opt for the monthly broker's statement. There is a requirement for how far in advance you have to request the OBC, I think it's 3 weeks. The Carnival shareholder's credit page shows details.

It is added to your total OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear they can award the credit with less than 3 weeks notice. We booked over the weekend for a cruise Sept 18 so we are less than 3 weeks away and I just submitted my request yesterday. Do you get some sort of notification that it has been added? In this doc (https://www.carnivalcorp.com/static-files/50351a91-4dc0-4f6b-bfec-684647e6129f) it says, "This benefit is not transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash and, cannot be used for casino credits/charges and gratuities charged to your onboard account." Can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted September 9, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I've always received two emails - one that they received the request, then another that the request was approved. I usually see it in the cruise planner but if not I check the account once onboard and it's there. I bring the confirmation email just in case.
