JPH814 Posted June 2 #1 Share Posted June 2 At 10:30 this morning I sent an email to seabourn asking to apply the stockholder’s credit to my September sailing. By 2:30 I received an email telling me the on board credit was applied to my account. Good job Seabourn! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seabourn has applied the shipboard credit amount of $250.00 each to your reservation CJ and CL, and it will be credited to your onboard account upon embarkation. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jondfk Posted June 3 #6 Share Posted June 3 We also received our response same day, sent a letter listing both sailings this summer, both credits showed up later the same day. Couldn’t ask for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Knot Posted June 3 #7 Share Posted June 3 Is a Jan 24 sailing too far out to ask for this credit, ie should I wait until near the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From previous requests I remember a 3 month maximum to put in a request but maybe it has changed? For our cruise in the Fall I plan to apply in July.

Covepointcruiser Posted June 5 #10 Share Posted June 5 We always send our request for shareholder credit once we have fully paid for the cruise. Seabourn has always been quick in their response to our email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Seabourn cruises next week, also October 2023 and February 2024. I made a request for all those and it was quickly approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipless in Seattle Posted July 14 #14 Share Posted July 14 This has been the best little deal ever. Bought the stock in the toilet last year at $6.90. It’s tripled in value AND we’ve received $750 so far in SBCs. I hope they extend to next year cruises. Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCL stock was around $30 — far off its highest in the upper $60s a few years prior, so seemingly poised to move upward as the industry recovered. Instead, it sank to under $10! My three Seabourn cruises since then have earned back only a portion of my (paper) loss on the stock, so we need to keep cruising to get to break even! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely buy individual stocks just that reason, instead just cheap index funds. I figured for $690 for 100 shares it was a good bet given the SBC program. CCL is sitting on so much debt from the pandemic which likely is what drove the price so low. I’d hang onto the stock as cruising is seeing strong demand.

cruiseej Posted July 15 #17 Share Posted July 15 Yeah, even when I bought it, a $3,000 investment didn't seem too bad, as I didn't think Carnival was headed for bankruptcy. But you clearly timed it optimally! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
