I tried on two cruises and got turned down. My rates were $100 for the cabin. I can see why they said no.

One our last cruise we were denied and then ( at someones suggestion) we resubmitted and it was approved. Worth a try

[pe4all]

I resubmitted 3x for my just completed Spirit cruise.  First time 1 year in advance, 2nd time 6 months in advance, 3rd time 2 months in advance.  Was turned down each time - but I got the extended balcony for a total of $250 for 2 for 8 days, so I really can't complain.

Well I think it's OK to complain because people used to get shareholder OBC even with casino rates. So it's yet another cutback at a time when their stock is barely worth the paper it's printed on.

[Krisco]

Turned down twice also with casino rates, but as other said the rate was super low.

I had the $100 pp rate with $200 OBC and fun play.  I was turned down the first time I submitted it.  My husband re-submitted it and was approved.

Waste of time.  It clearly says no in the rules

I have been on many casino rates since the restart. Just got back from a $160 pp rate for a week on Panorama I have never been turned down for my shareholder credit. I hold over 1100 shares but I don't think that amount matters or gives any special consideration. I believe it's just who at Carnival gets the request. Turn around for the benefit is now really fast too once requested. I heard back on my request in two days. I would resubmit if you get turned down.

We usually get approved but, as some others have suggested - it never hurts to resubmit !

I truly believe it depends on who reviews it. 

[dianef]

Maybe pays to try every two weeks and maybe get lucky.I do understand their reasoning but you think they all would go by same rules,yes or no.

[kona_wahine]

I tried also, was denied.

Your chances of getting the shareholder OBC applied to a $100 room + $100 OBC casino rate (so a "free cruise") cannot be represented by a real number.

No, it was a discounted casino rate ( free drinks and discounted but not free)

That's similar to the offer I just booked under. Thirteen day April transatlantic in a balcony cabin for $100pp and $200 obc. I then submitted the info for the $100 shareholder credit and was approved. So now we have $300 in obc.

It may clearly say no in the rules, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is a waste of time, as my recent experience demonstrates.

I ended up applying my OBC I got to horseback riding on HMC which I enjoyed. It certainly wasn’t a waste of time for me.

And that was with a free room?  Usually $100 with $100obc?

Yes. $100pp “free room” with $100 pp OBC on booking and $200 freeplay.
