tring Posted January 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My husband has 200 Carnival shares and has previously been able to claim shareholder benefit. If we book a cruise and stay deal through a cruise agent, or book a cruise on a guarantee basis, would we still be entitled to claim shareholder benefit as long as the request for it can be made the required time before sailing (six weeks I think)?

You are entitled to the benefit on any cruise line the Carnival owns. You just submit the information to the appropriate cruise with a copy of the appropriate paperwork. Here is a link to the info http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tring Posted January 25, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks, he has claimed the benefit a few times so we know the mechanics, but it was the fare type we were wondering about as the Carnival Corporation Website says it is not available for anyone on reduced fare, (we have booked early in the past). I have posted the same question on the P&O section and people think fare type does not matter - it might just be the exceptionally good deals that agents get for their own travels that are excluded. Worth trying a cheapie then, the extra OBC is an added bonus. Edited January 25, 2016 by tring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamchops Posted January 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I've been trying to fax the info through for almost a week now. I keep getting busy signals from the Costa and Princess numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petlady7 Posted January 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2016 You have to send it to Costa not Princess and they give it on cheap cruises too , we booked a 7 night cruise for £199 and got 75 euros shareholder benefit , are you remembering the country code ?

Dancer Bob Posted January 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2016 That fax number should work. Since I was boarding Deliziosa in Pt Everglades yesterday, I stopped off at the Costa office and talked to the OBC person. She said that if there are any issues the ship would send an email to her, so take a copy of everything with you. Apparently a snail mail letter I sent from Canada took a month to get there.

One time they never applied my Stockholders credit. My travel agent had them send me a check. Now I always bring proof on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
