bbtablet Posted November 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Are you intending to invest thousands of pounds or just the minimum to claim the Carnival benefit On Board Credit (currently about £1200 worth)? For the first you really need to buy through an online broker such as found here: https://uk.stockbrokers.com/guides/share-dealing-accounts I use Interactive Investor. For the latter you could do the same but would be very brave! This is why, but you know what they say - "buy when everyone around you is selling!": Carnival Corporation & plc is pleased to extend the following benefit to our shareholders: NORTH AMERICA BRANDS CONTINENTAL EUROPE BRANDS UNITED KINGDOM BRANDS AUSTRALIA BRANDS Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 14 days or longer US $250 €200 £150 A$250 Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 7 to 13 days US $100 € 75 £ 60 A$100 Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 6 days or less US $ 50 € 40 £ 30 A$ 50 The benefit is applicable on sailings through July 31, 2022 aboard the brands listed below. Certain restrictions apply. Applications to receive these benefits should be made at least three weeks prior to cruise departure date. This benefit is available to shareholders holding a minimum of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc. Employees, travel agents cruising at travel agent rates, tour conductors or anyone cruising on a reduced-rate or complimentary basis are excluded from this offer. 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. Only one onboard credit per shareholder-occupied stateroom. Reservations must be made by February 28, 2022. Absolutely no recommendation impled by this post.

BrianI Posted November 28, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Buying on line is the easiest and cheapest way to hold your shares in a nominee account. Be aware of some companies who charge a periodic fee for holding your shares. Hargreaves Lansdown does not have any such fees other than the initial dealing charge. The dealing charge is £11.95 plus 0.5% stamp duty (around £6 at current price - based on actual purchase price). Full details on their website. https://www.hl.co.uk/shares/share-dealing Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britboys Posted November 28, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Got mine years ago through Hargreaves Lansdowne. Easy and efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFC Posted November 28, 2021 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Freetrade has no commission fees, very good service too. I would buy now to be honest as at £12 they are a bargain in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Bill Y Posted November 29, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Bought 100 some years ago via Saga, these were automatically held in a nominee account (not in my name) this became a nuisance as P&O kept wanting proof that I still had the shares, compounded by the fact at that time P&O would not accept emails with attachments. When Saga changed brokers I had the option to have the shares registered in my name. There has not been a problem since with P&O, Princess or HAL. I just quote the certificate number and the benefits are always applied promptly and Carnival can check it against their register of shareholders if they so wish. Things may have changed by now, but that is what I recommend for what its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ighten Posted November 29, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Depends if you want to use a platform like Interactive investor or a Broker for a one off purchase.. A)If your only buying into Carnival for the perks just buy what you require through a broker.. B) Interactive Investor is a good easy to use platform but you pay 9.99 a month. However that will give you one free trade (buy or sell a month to expand or build your portfolio with stocks or funds).You also get the ability to regular invest for no cost on your current holdings for free (so you can always be riding the falls by automatically buying when cheap). BUT there is no point paying monthly costs if your only doing option a) and are not using shares as a long term investment whilst the banks interest rates are so poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LymingtonLad Posted November 29, 2021 #15 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Apologies for the digression, but if you book a cruise with an "early saver" offer are you still entitled to Carnival shareholder benefits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Anarchy Posted November 29, 2021 #17 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Also on a Saver fare, as long as you apply for the OBC at least four weeks before sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeonMars Posted November 29, 2021 #18 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I believe that when using the discount against a Defence Discount Card or The Blue Light Card, shareholder on board credit is now not applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon0 Posted November 29, 2021 #19 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Those who hold their shares on an online platform - how do you evidence your ownership and get onboard credit? We hold ours through SmartInvestor and therefore don’t have a certificate. Do P&O accept screenshots of holdings or is there a better way we can evidence them. I emailed the rewards inbox a couple of weeks ago and they didn’t reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. No. Currently available on cruises up to 31 July 2022. https://www.carnivalcorp.com/static-files/50351a91-4dc0-4f6b-bfec-684647e6129f Historically the benefit is rolled over on a yearly basis, usually around March.
