I have been trying to follow y'alls conversation 🥴  I just bought my first stock -- ccl when it dropped to $10 and disney when it was $80.  So I really don't know much about it.  But I feel like I am drowning listening (well in actuality reading) your conversation.  I toyed with the idea of purchasing more stock to sell and make money but I now realize it is not that easy and I really have no clue as to what I am doing.  So I guess I won't be doing that.  Wow, just wow!

If you have at least 100 shares of Carnival and have a booked cruise, follow the info on my prior post.

 We have sent it in two months in advance and it was accepted.  I know some people have sent it in and it was rejected because it was too early but I don't know how early that was.

It usually is renewed annually from July to June (Or maybe August to July). so since August is after that, I bet the reject it. but then once it is approved for the next year, it can be almost 12 months in advance.

Although it applies to all lines owned by Carnival Corporation, they do not all treat it the same as for how early you can send it in. Princess, because they allow you to use the OBC before the cruise for excursions, seems to not really have a limit as to how far in advance you can apply for it. I believe on some of their other lines, you may if your cruise is well into the future have to wait for the renewal.

I sent in my details last week for a March cruise, it was approved, then $100 went up in smoke this week. I am afraid they may eliminate or restrict the perk after the current program ends in July. Easy come, easy go.

You will be looking for CCL for the US version of the stock. Looks like Carnival PLC is the European Carnival stock.

If you take the link in the post that you cited, it clearly states "This benefit is available to shareholders holding a minimum of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc"

You missed the point, your original post asked "what one do we need to buy for the credit"... the website and the clip that I quoted clearly states Carnival Corp. OR Carnival PLC, meaning that you can own either stock and qualify for the shareholder perks.

yup and CUK is cheaper right now. no reason not to buy CUK instead of CCL.

[Moviela]

Carnival LLC and Carnival plc are separate companies operating as a single unit. The shares are dual listed on the NYSE as CCL for the LLC and CUK for the plc. The CCL shares are part of the Standard and Poor's 500 index, and the CUK shares track the London shares and are included in the FTSE 100. The NYSE handles far more CCL shares than the London exchange. 

 

You have a choice to invest in either. When NY is doing better the CCL shares will be worth more, conversely when London does better the CUK shares will be worth more.

 

Through July you get the same shareholder benefit for either CCL or CUK shares. The benefit is voted on by the Board of directors year by year. With the current economic situation the Board may not extend the benefit for the year beyond July. There is currently no dividend, & none for the near future. 

Bear this in mind if you are investing solely for the shareholder benefit.

 

Most important is before investing or sending money you should consult a financial advisor to see if any security is right for you. There is no guarantee for equity investments, you could lose every penny.
