ehogan Posted March 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I am considering purchasing Carnival shares. Re the $250 shipboard credit for 14+ days: we are doing a 14 day Alaska which looks to be 2- 7 day back to backs (but they were sold as a 14 day). Would we get the $250 or two $100 credits? CC members are so smart that I am asking here first. If no one knows, I'll call HAL and post the reply if I can find a contact number for HAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANSalberg Posted March 17, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The 1 or 2 cruise questions depend MORE on how many booking numbers you are given; some B2B are considered 1 cruise. Then you would have ONE booking number/one OBC. You DO know you need 100 or more shares!!!!???? 100 is the minumum. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammyPL Posted March 17, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2008 When we did our back to back they considered it 2 seperate cruises. We just got the $100 for each cruise. Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted March 17, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If HAL advertises and sells this as one cruise, usually with a lower price than adding the two individual cruises together, you should get the higher OBC. It's possible to get one booking number when you book two consecutive cruises (a true b-2-b), so that is not the determining factor. The E-dam has a 10-day inaugural cruise, followed by a 10-day cruise with a different itinerary. Both are also sold as a 20-day cruise. The OBC for the 20-day is the $250.

Southall Posted March 18, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2008 We booked one of the 14 day cruises on Zaandam. We did have one booking number for both trips. I faxed a request for the credit on two different occassions and after a month, I finally called the HAL Reservation Administration Office (800-993-5483. I was told that we had been credited with $250. These cruises looked very attractively priced anyway, but the shareholder's credit is a nice bonus.

ehogan Posted March 18, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thank you all, we have one booking number, so I assume that it would be a $250 credit. Yes, I know I need a minimum of 100 shares. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
