Carnival Stock Onboard Credit Benefit Perks: How It Works, Things To Know, & Claiming The Onboard Credit

1/2/2023

 
Picture
    Carnival Corporation offers an onboard credit benefit to shareholders who own 100 shares minimum of Carnival Corporation or Carnival Plc. This post will give information on how the Carnival Corporation shareholder onboard credit benefit works. .

Carnival Corporation Brands
             The Carnival Corporation brands include Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, Cunard, Costa Cruises, Aida Cruises, and P&O Cruises. If you own 100 shares of the Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc stock, you can apply for the onboard credit benefit for any of the cruises that you are taking on these lines. 

How Much Onboard Credit Do You Get
               The onboard credit amount is determined by the length of the cruise and further depends on if the cruise is on a North American brand, Continental Europe brand, United Kingdom brand, or Australia brand. For North American cruises the onboard credit for 14+ day cruises is $250, 7-13 days is $100, and 6 days or less is $50. Please note Carnival Corporation's guidelines state that guests cruising at a reduced rate or complimentary basis are excluded from this onboard credit offer. Further, only one onboard credit per shareholder occupied stateroom. 

Claiming The Onboard Credit
               Carnival Corporation has posted instructions for claiming the onboard credit on their website. Each cruise line has specific instructions to claim the onboard credit and prove ownership of the 100+ shares. Per Carnival Corporation you can provide the legal name, reservation/booking number, ship and sailing date, and proof of ownership by email, fax, or mail. Proof of ownership per Carnival consists of examples such as "photocopy of shareholder proxy card, a dividend tax voucher or a current brokerage or nominee statement with your current mailing address and brokerage account number blacked out". The claim must be submitted 4 weeks prior to your sail date. Carnival reminds guests that email is a inherently an insecure method of communication.
                   The current shareholder benefit program is for sailings through July 31, 2023. Reservations for this benefit must be made by February 28, 2023 according to Carnival Corporation's program. No information is available at the time of writing if the program will be extended. 

What Can You Spend The Onboard Credit On
                  You should be able to use the onboard credit on pretty much anything on sale on the ship that is charged to your onboard expense account. Examples of this include bar service, gift shop merchandise, specialty dining, and more.  The credit is considered non-refundable which means you cannot cash it out. Carnival Corporation's program for the shareholder benefit states that it cannot be used for casino credits/charges or gratuities charged to your onboard account. ​If you are are onboard and have questions about which purchases will count towards the onboard credit usage, I recommend asking at Guest Services.
Is Carnival stock a good buy? Will the Carnival stock price rise? 
                      I am not qualified to answer each of these questions. This is a cruise blog and not a financial blog!  If you are thinking about buying Carnival Corporation stock I recommend speaking with a financial advisor or researching financial information released by Carnival Corporation. Examples of financial information Carnival Corporation has released include SEC filings such as the Annual Report or 10-Q documents. Ultimately, buying any stock has some level of risk as prices can rise or decrease and you need to do your research to determine if buying any stock is a good fit for your financial portfolio. 
Highly Recommended: Read The Information Directly Released By Carnival Corporation
                       I highly recommend taking some time to read the exact shareholder benefit wording released by Carnival Corporation. Although I covered the main points there is more information to know. This page on Carnival Corporation's website allows guests to view the shareholder benefit which includes the full language around amount, restrictions, how to claim, and contact information to claim the onboard credit.

Please speak with your financial advisor or broker prior to making any investment decisions and fully research any investment choices you are thinking about making. Please note the program is subject to change. Please check Carnival Corporation's website for the latest shareholder benefit information. I will do my best to update this page, but due to the possibility I have outdated information or made an error you should read the information directly from Carnival Corporation.
