I think the shareholders and guestadmin emails all end up in the same place. I submitted mine to shareholders@carnival.com and the response came from guestadmin@carnival.com 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Shoes2Go Posted July 9, 2023 #28 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Submitted yesterday (Saturday) for a slew of cruises. We don’t have casino offers. They should all be approved. Hopefully, they will stack the b2bs, totaling 14 days, for the increased credits. That seems to vary on who processes the request. Inconsistent. I’ll let you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajtaylor29 Posted July 9, 2023 #33 Share Posted July 9, 2023 We just booked a casino offer and got our $100 OBC no problem. It came in less than 24 hours which surprised me because in the past i've waited weeks to get confirmation! We did pay a little to upgrade from a free balcony to the Vista Suite (corner aft wrap) but it wasn't much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted July 11, 2023 #34 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Probably already answered here - I did not check first, so apologies if this is a duplicate. Can I submit a photo or does it have to be a PDF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Shoes2Go Posted July 11, 2023 #35 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I often submit photo, instead of PDF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsparents Posted July 11, 2023 #36 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Not sure what offer I booked, but for a 3 day cruise to Mexico I booked a fare that gave me a $500 OBC and got my $50 shareholder OBC approved. I sent it via email for the first time (usually send via fax as they request) and it was approved and posted in less than 24 hours. Won't send via fax again.

kona_wahine Posted July 11, 2023 #37 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I tried 2X for our Venezia cruise in October and was denied. Booked casino rate so only paying taxes and fees. It’s ok, I’m good with the rate. I did get approved for our pride that we booked a non-casino rate on. I think those are pretty much the only ones getting denied.

Rare Haljo1935 Posted July 12, 2023 #39 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Update - I called today to ask a question about submitting the shareholder OBC request. Girl that answered said she'd have to transfer me as she had no idea what I was talking about (her words, not mine). She transferred me to the "Admin Support Office (?)". Very nice girl who answered said if I had it ready, she would wait on the phone with me while the email was en route. Said she's one of the people who process the requests & told me the steps she takes when she gets a request. So, of course I wait. Get the 2 emails she sent (auto response confirmations), then she asks me to hold for a second. When she comes back, says I should have 2 more emails from a different address, which I did. Open them up and they're the new ivoices w/confirmation the OBC was issued! 2 emails both times b/c it's B2B with 2 booking numbers. I guess that's the best service one can ask for - thank you Carnival and thanks to everyone here who offered suggestions on how to submit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I send the OBC requests to shareholders@carnival.com and guestadmin@carnival.com Again, not sure if that makes a difference or not or if I have just been lucky about never being denied even with awesome casino offers. Is there some kind of form we need to fill out? I have never applied for my stockholders onboard credit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - you will not get the OBC. Account holder name has to be on the booking. You can have your name added to the shareholder account then send it in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted July 12, 2023 #46 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Anyone know if they've approved the OBC for next year yet? It seems like that usually happens in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_mojo Posted September 12, 2023 #49 Share Posted September 12, 2023 we just sent in a couple requests for some obc for casino deals but they are for balcony rate cabins on a casino rate and not the freebie rooms, two of them are great deals and one out next year not a great deal so we'll see, last year we were denied on my wife's airline retiree benefit which is usually a pretty good deal and considered to be a discounted rate ( travel industry discount ) similar to a military rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
