Stockholder credit?

[brazcons]

I've seen at least one reference to an onboard credit for Carnival stockholders. I've booked my first Princess cruise for November and have already received an onboard credit (the offer when I booked). I'm a Carnival stockholder. Is there an additional credit I can receive and how do I get it?

mostly not combinable with other credits including future cruise credit and some special discounted prices.

Just call Liz. She'll tell you wether you qualify or not, and if so what you'll need to do to get it.

I'm intrigued by the restrictions that accompany this credit, especially the one which says the credit can't be applied to the automatic tips. I know of no such restrictions with RCI's stockholder credit and wonder what justification Princess has for theirs.:(

RCI has a far (now) superior program.

The OBC was given to us in addition to some OBC P&O credited us with for an early booking.

 

If you dont get it added before you cruise it's a hell of a job on board. The "front of house" staff seem to have difficulty with it so enure you take a copy of your share certificate with you.
