Carnival Corporation Shareholder Benefit

[missmishka]

Hello everyone: I know this topic has many prior posts but I have a specific question. We're considering purchasing shares of Carnival Corp. In reading the shareholder benefit description, one paragraph states "Employees, travel agents, cruising at travel agent rates, tour conductors or anyone cruising on a reduced-rate or complimentary basis are excluded from this offer". Would purchasing a last-minute cruise from a discount on-line travel agency at a pretty substantial discount be considered "cruising on a "reduced-rate basis"? If so I assume the onboard credit shareholder benefit would not apply. Anyone have any firsthand knowledge? Thanks for any help.

Can't answer your question but would just suggest you submit your request and see what happens.

We have purchased many last-minute cruises at greatly discounted prices, and have received the stockholder benefit, both on HAL and Princess. Like the previous poster suggested, send your request asap.

We took one HAL cruise on a "unpublished" price. I didn't get my OBC for my CCL stock. That was fine as we saved far, FAR more being part of our TA's group than the OBC would have been. As CoolBreeze2 recommended, send in your proof and see what happens. The Front Desk will be able tell you if you have the OBC on your account. Good Luck.
