Considering shareholder benefit?

[Bimmer babe]

I've even seen prices change from an early advanced online booking to a closer to cruise advanced online booking. That's why I always book excursions as soon as I can.

[JudithLynne]

Not always true. I have seen excursion prices increased on board compared to booking in advance. Some times just $5 or $10 more, other times up to $30 more. Of course, some excursions do remain at the pre-cruise price.

Well, I guess we are lucky as in all of our 42 cruises I have never seen that happen.

how long in advance of booking a cruise (or sailing) would you need to own the 100 shares?

oh, I see a little information here. So is the benefit just a promotional deal? it seems to indicate it ends july 30 2019?

 

 

The benefit is applicable on sailings through July 31, 2019 aboard the brands listed below. Certain restrictions apply. Applications to receive

these benefits should be made at least three weeks prior to cruise departure date.

This benefit is available to shareholders holding a minimum of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc. 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. This

benefit is not transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash and, cannot be used for casino credits/charges and gratuities charged to your onboard

account. Only one onboard credit per shareholder-occupied stateroom. Reservations must be made by February 28, 2019.

There is no requirement, but a couple of weeks would be enough to complete the request for the benefit.

The program is extended a year at a time. While there is no guarantee that they will continue to extend it, there is no reason to believe they won't.

Very cool! Thank you for the info!!

The Board of Directors approves this benefit one year at a time. It has been in place several years now, and I would expect them to continue to approve it every year in the future. If they did not renew it, they would have a lot of unhappy stockholders and a lot of people selling stock at the same time.

It has an end date , but that date is revised and extended every year since it was first offered many years ago .

Not a promotional deal , just a benefit of stock ownership .

The I've-never-seen-it-enforced requirement is 3 weeks before sailing. YMMV.

Average CCL stock volume of trading is about 4,000,000 shares (although Monday it was 16,764,807 shares.

 

With the average daily volume being 4,000,000 shares if all of those were from CCL 100 share holders selling, that would be 40,000 people.

 

So I do not think that a lack of benefit renewal will cause the daily volume to move much,

No, the benefit is NOT just a promotion. The form always has an expiration date and as they expire a new form with a new date will appear. I’ve used forms with expired dates and it does not affect it. You really don’t even need the form. Just provide Princess with a Voyage number, ship name, date of sailing and your name, email and phone number. You also need to send a copy of your brokerage statement (black out acct number and any other stock info not related to Carnival) and that’s it. I use a free, online fax service—Fax Zero. This has to be done for each individual voyage number, even if you’re doing several back to backs. Well worth it and a wonderful benefit!!
