Colorado Beach Bum Posted September 10, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It’s $100 OBC for being a shareholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JandPB Posted September 10, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Sent my stock statement in 2 weeks ago for our April Magic cruise and received the OBC in about a week. Doesn’t matter what you paid for the cruise. Shareholder credit is applied regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGEDad Posted September 10, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Actually the Shareholder benefits is a three tier plan https://www.carnivalcorp.com/static-files/50351a91-4dc0-4f6b-bfec-684647e6129f The benefit is applicable on sailings through July 31, 2022 I have 6 CCL (Carnival & Holland America) booked. I have submitted 6 cruises and been approved for 4 cruises departing through 4/22. Cruises from 8/22 and beyond I was told to resubmit at a later time. The current benefit is only approved for sailings through 7/22. OBC appears after embarkation.

RGEDad Posted September 10, 2021 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2021 In Rounded Numbers, Have ~ $75,000 in Bookings over the next 1.5 Years. Stockholder Benefits come to ~$1,000. Cost was ~$2,000 (This Years Purchase). So it appears like ~ 1.5% cruise cost reduction, Or ~ 50% ROI on Stock Purchase over 18 months - more or less. Plus any increase/loss of stock price / dividends Risk of course is that CCL goes Belly-up - but my loss in Deposits would far outweigh the stock price loss in that case. And yes - It does tend to color our cruise company selection - does not mandate, but does consider/influence it - which of course is why they do it (IMHO).

snowballs mom Posted September 10, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Carnival is now counting two seven day B2B cruises as a fourteen day cruise. I received $150 OBC on my second leg of my B2B2B instead of $100. I also just purchased stock this summer. I, too, am looking at it from the ROI standpoint. $350 in non-taxable OBC in the next month is a pretty good return, especially since two of the three cabins we booked are inexpensive 4Js. Since the OBC is available on all CCL lines, I don't feel as limited as I would if we could only use it on the Carnival brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady cruise line Posted September 10, 2021 Author #11 Share Posted September 10, 2021 My shareholder OBC was denied by guest admin. Is there another department I can try or anyone have any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady cruise line Posted September 10, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I’m not sure if the statement about reduced/complimentary rate is new or if they’re just beginning to enforce it but I always cruise on a casino promotion and have never been turned down before.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted September 10, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I just got approved for our October Pride cruise and it was a free balcony offer ($100 but comes with $100 OBC). That was just last week. Going to be interesting going forward if that language is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmyne Posted September 11, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 11, 2021 We received an $250 OBC for our upcoming 14 day cruise booked with a casino rate. We emailed our documents. It took about a week for the credit to post, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
