Carnival Corp Shareholder Credit Difficulty

[mikelan6]

I recently sailed on the Zuiderdam’s September 11th Eastern Caribbean sailing. When I made the reservations, I sent the request for the $100.00 Carnival Cruise shareholder credit, which was noted in my reservation. I made it clear that the credit was to go to me and not my roommate, who I have no relation with, other than being a friend.

When I checked my account on board, I found that I only received a $50.00 credit. The other $50.00 did not show up on my friend’s statement. When I asked about this, the crewmember told me that my roommate write out a letter requesting the $50.00 credit be transferred to my account. My friend did this for me, but I found this to be very awkward and unnecessary.

I don’t think I should have been placed in the position of asking my friend for this since HAL's reservation department noted that I was the shareholder.

Notwithstanding, I had a wonderful time on this ship and enjoyed myself.

Sorry to hear of your problem.:o Was the $50 finally creditied to your account???:cool:

A quick question...can you only use that CCL shareholders credit once a year???

The $50.00 was credited to my account after my friend wrote the letter requesting the transfer.

We have the shareholder credit and it does say on the reservation copy the following " $50PP/$100PC (per cabin) "CARNIVAL C TWN 100204""

It's probably something that could have been set up correctly (all to you)when you checked in at the pier when you established the onboard accounts. I can only assume that you each had separate accounts. By default they probably just split it to PAX 1&2 so by telling them at check-in, you could probably get it changed to just the one account.

localady - You can use your CCL credit as many times as you want in a year. We have use it twice this year so far. (The $100 per cabin for the 7 to 13 days.) We will be leaving in Nov. on the Prinsendam 28 day Amazon Cruise and will be getting the $250 credit for the over 14 days. Our TA always checks our Docs when he gets them in to make sure we have our credit. Penny

GrammyPL- Thanks for the information, we have just acquired CCL stock ( more than 100 shares) and I am trying to determine when they will be useful to use. I understand that if you have received other shipboard credits that they will not allow us to use our CCL stock credit, is this correct???? Thanks again!!!!:cool:

You are correct. No other credits can be used with the stock credit.

It is also possible they may not allow it because of a super low fare.
