Carnival Cruises: Shareholder Benefits

Last Updated 15th January 2024 | By Brianna Johnson | This post may contain affiliate links: Disclaimer

Imagine waking up to a new, beautiful view every day. Instead of packing and unpacking your bags, all you need to do is wander around the ship and enjoy the various activities. Whether you’re looking for an adventure or a relaxing escape, a cruise can provide it all.

You might therefore be wondering, do Carnival shareholders get any benefits or perks? The answer is Yes. Shareholders receive benefits in the form of Onboard Credits. The value of these credits ranges from $50 to $250 (£30 to £150), depending on the cruise line brand and the duration of the cruise.

Let’s dive in to the details below.

Onboard Credits for Carnival Corporation & Carnival Plc Shareholders

Carnival wants to acknowledge its shareholders who also become customers, so if you own 100 shares or more of CCL or CUK , then you’re all set to receive some perks through onboard credits! You will receive one OBC per shareholder-occupied stateroom. Onboard credits are a type of currency that can be used onboard Carnival’s cruise ships. Guests can use their onboard credits to purchase drinks, souvenirs, spa treatments, book shore excursions, and more. The benefits vary based on which brand of cruise line you are on, so it’s important to pay attention to this. I have discussed this further below.

The good news is that Carnival recently updated their benefits information and extended these benefits out to 2024. This means if you are going on a cruise in 2023 or if you are simply booking one now but will be cruising in 2024 (up until July 31), you’re covered by the benefits!

The current rules are in place for reservations made by February 28, 2024 and the benefit is applicable on sailings through July 31, 2024.

Exclusions and Important Conditions

There are some important exclusions to keep in mind. You are not eligible to receive these benefits and perks if:

  • You are cruising on a reduced rate or complimentary basis
  • You are an employee of Carnival, a travel agent cruising at travel agent rates, interline rates, or a tour conductor.

It is also important to note that the benefit is not transferrable, so you cannot pass on the benefit to someone else. You must be going on the cruise and the OBC will only be given to you (and the people in your party in your stateroom).

Finally, the OBC cannot be exchanged for cash, or used for casino credits and charges, or for gratuities charged to your onboard account.

How to apply for Onboard Benefits for Carnival

The process for applying for the OBCs is fairly simple. There is no form to fill out. You have to provide by email, fax, or by regular mail (see contact information below), the following pieces of information:

  • Complete legal name
  • Reservation/booking number
  • Ship and sailing date
  • Photocopy of shareholder proxy card; OR
  • A dividend tax voucher; OR
  • A current brokerage or nominee statement with your current mailing address. Please black out your brokerage account number.

When to apply for Onboard Credits for a Carnival cruise

You must apply for the onboard credits at least 4 weeks prior to your departure. Note that there is some conflicting information in Carnival’s own literature about this period (at one point they say 3 weeks prior to departure date is acceptable).

My suggestion is to stick to the more conservative requirement of 4 weeks. It’s better to be safe than sorry. There’s no point waiting till the end and letting 1 week get in the way of you, a great vacation, and some nice perks!

If you have a travel agent, I recommend contacting your travel agent for the easiest and fastest results. Alternatively, you can contact Carnival directly too. I recommend contact them by email as it’s the easiest way to keep track of your conversation with them and the fastest way of communicating. See the section below for contact details.

How much are Carnival shareholder Onboard Benefits?

The Onboard Credits provided to shareholders and stockholders varies based on the brand of the cruise line that you are going on and the period of the voyage.

Please remember that the onboard credit for Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Cunard, and Princess Cruises is determined based on the operational currency onboard the vessel.

Is it Worth Buying Carnival Shares for the Onboard Credit?

In the post-Covid world, I do not think it is worth buying Carnival shares simply to claim the shareholder benefits. As you may be aware, the cruise industry was hit very badly during Covid as all voyages were cancelled. In order to pay the bills, all the cruise companies had to borrow huge sums of money from banks and from the financial markets. This meant that the balance sheets of all the cruise lines went from being reasonable to now being in a vary precarious state.

While President Trump was favourably disposed to bail out the cruise lines with cheap financing, the fact that cruise companies pay minimal income tax (anywhere between 0% to 3% in any given year) meant that Congress did not want to be seen bailing them out using taxpayers’ funds.

Carnival’s net debt level has ballooned from around $11 billion at the end of November 2019 to $29 billion by the end of 2023. While earnings at the company have started to recover from the Covid shock, there is still a long way to go reduce their financial leverage. It will likely take Carnival another 10 years or more of running at pre-Covid profitability levels to reduce their debt back to the $11 billion level. This is a very long time!

Due to Carnival’s significantly worsened financial position, the shares have also become significantly more volatile. The shares easily move 5-10% in one day. And while that might not seem like much, it’s important to remember that the shares have declined by 80% from their pre-Covid levels.

An important metric to quantify stock volatility is Beta. Using our Beta calculator , you can see that the stock has a Beta of over 2 when compared to the S&P 500. This means the stock is highly volatile.

For these reasons, you can easily end up losing more on the shares than you will gain in OBCs.

How much will 100 Carnival shares cost?

The box below shows the cost to buy 100 shares of CCL based on the latest closing price:

Stock Price

Calculating...

Based on this investment, a 10% decline in the share prices (whether in one day or over a few days or months), would cost you at least $170. Depending on the duration of your cruise, this can be more than what you would receive in benefits!

Yes, if the shares go back up, you could gain a lot of money too. But at this point, that’s just pure speculation. Sure you can have a little fun with the shares if they go up, but unless you really know what you are doing, you’re better off just going on that cruise. Plus its more enjoyable to get lucky in the stateroom than pray and hope that maybe you can get lucky in the markets! If you want to make money in the markets, there are better options to consider.

Is CCL a good stock to buy?

Given Carnival’s ridiculously high debt level and the difficult position that they’re in, unfortunately for no fault of their own, I do not feel that CCL (or CUK) is a good stock to buy as an investment. One could buy Carnival shares in the hope that they recover, but that would purely be speculation, not investing. Unfortunately, the situation is similar across the industry, with other companies like Royal Caribbean and Norwegian also struggling.

Investing means you are taking a calculated bet and you only take that bet when the risk vs reward dynamics are skewed heavily in your favour. At this point, for the reasons I laid out above, I do not feel that rewards heavily outweigh the risks.

For those who are tolerant of volatility, I think Carnival could potentially make a good trading stock. It would make sense to buy the stock when it gets beat up due to external factors (i.e. not stock-specific issues) and sell when it bounces.

Will Carnival stock recover?

The path to recovery for Carnival’s shares is murky. The company has to pay off a significant amount of debt in order to bring its balance sheet to a healthy level, or at least back to its pre-Covid levels. Based on the expected free cash flow generation of around $2.5 billion annually, starting in 2025, it will take a long time to pay off the $20 billion of incremental debt that they have taken on since 2020.

While all of this is doable, there may be many more macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges that they company may face during that period. The first few years are the most crucial, as that is when the company is most vulnerable.

If the management can effectively steer the company through the next 3 to 5 years without any hiccups – this means generating profits and paying off debt with it – the stock may recover in the years beyond that. But do you want to own the shares during such a volatile period?

If you You are likely better off investing in opportunities where the odds are in your favour . I would recommend monitoring Carnival’s financials over the next few years and if it looks like they’re on track, it would be worth buying for an eventual recovery.

Or as I mentioned, from a trading perspective, one could buy when they get beat up and sell when the price recovers.

What’s the difference between CCL vs CUK?

From a financial perspective, CCL and CUK are functionally equivalent and there is no difference. This means that 1 share of CCL is equal to 1 share of CUK, and there is no difference between CCL and CUK.

So then why does Carnival have two stocks to its name? The main difference has to do with where Carnival shares are trading.  CCL  is the ticker of the stock you’ll find trading in the US on the NYSE and represents an ownership of in Carnival Corp. Meanwhile, CCL in London is equivalent to 1 share of CCL in the US and represents interest in Carnival plc.

Meanwhile, and confusingly enough, you’ll find  CUK trading on the NYSE (in USD), representing Carnival PLC. CUK is a sponsored ADR which means its more directly tied to CCL shares in London.

Yes, there are some differences in liquidity and sometimes one of the shares might trade at a premium, but for most investors, those differences are irrelevant.

Using our total return calculator , you can see that both CCL and CUK have identical returns over the last 5 years.

Here’s what the company discloses in its annual report about the three securities’ structure:

Carnival Corporation common stock, together with paired trust shares of beneficial interest in the P&O Princess Special Voting Trust, which holds a Special Voting Share of Carnival plc, is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “CCL.” Carnival plc ordinary shares trade on the London Stock Exchange under the symbol “CCL.” Carnival plc American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each one of which represents one Carnival plc ordinary share, are traded on the NYSE under the symbol “CUK.” The depositary for the ADSs is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Carnival Corporation Annual Report, 2022

Does CCL pay dividends?

No. Carnival (both CCL and CUK) used to pay dividends, however they were suspended due to the unprecedented circumstances related to Covid-19. I do not expect Carnival to pay dividends for the foreseeable future as their debt load is simply too high. It may take them another several years before they can start paying out a dividend without jeopardizing their balance sheet.

How to buy Carnival Shares?

In order to buy Carnival shares, you will need to have a brokerage account that allows you to buy shares. Many brokerages allow you to open an account easily, but there may be a minimum amount of deposit required first.

If you are in the US, some good options for brokerage accounts are M1 Finance , Robinhood, or Vanguard.

If you are in the UK, you can buy either CCL shares in the US or CUK in the UK. Some good options for brokerages include Fineco , Moneyfarm , Hargreaves Lansdown , Interactive Investors , or eToro . You can learn more about other options on our articles covering the Best Way to Buy US Stocks in the UK and the Best Investment Apps .

Is there a Carnival shareholder benefit request form?

No, Carnival does not have a form to claim any shareholder benefits or onboard credits (OBC). There is a very simple process to get your benefits. You have to email them your personal details, information about your voyage, and proof of share ownership. Please do this at least 4 weeks prior to your departure date.  

Do Carnival shareholders get cruise discounts?

No, Carnival shareholders do not receive any discounts for booking a cruise. Instead, shareholders receive benefits in the form of Onboard Credits. The value of these credits ranges from $50 to $250 (£30 to £150), depending on the cruise line brand and the duration of the cruise.

Can I claim Onboard credit multiple times with Carnival?

Yes, you can request this benefit multiple times! However it can only be claimed once per trip per shareholder. This means that if you book 3 separate trips with Carnival, then you can claim this benefit 3 times, once for each trip! All their terms and conditions apply.

What is the P&O shares price?

P&O is a brand of Carnival Cruise Lines, so it does not have its own shares. Please check the share price of Carnival Cruise Lines instead. Carnival’s symbol is CCL on the NYSE or CUK on the LSE.

Carnival Shareholder Benefit

Carnival Shares – The shareholder benefits

Carnival Corporation & plc is one of the largest cruise operators in the world. The company’s portfolio of global cruise line brands includes Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, P&O Cruises (Australia), Costa Cruises, AIDA Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK) and Cunard. Owning Carnival shares means you have a stake in one of the biggest cruise companies and can bag your self some shareholder benefits too.

In this post we will discuss what the shareholder benefits are and how many shares you need to get them.  Do remember this post does not constitute financial advice, if you are interested in buying Carnival stock, do seek independent financial advice first!

Page Contents

How many Carnival shares do I need to purchase?

To be entitled to shareholder benefits, you need to purchase a minimum number of shares. This benefit is available to shareholders holding a minimum of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc.

What are the Carnival shareholder benefits (as of June 2023)?

Carnival stopped giving dividends due to the global pandemic and the impact on the business. Prior to this, shares were trading at £40-£50 a share, before plummeting to £5. While it doesn’t appear dividends will reappear anytime soon, there are still some shareholder benefits in the form on Onboard Credit. You only need to purchase 100 shares to receive the Carnival shareholder onboard credit, you wont get extra credit for buying more and it will only be applied to a room once.

How much onboard credit will I receive?

The amount on onboard credit you’ll receive as a shareholder will depend on the cruise line and the cruise length. See the table beow:

How do I apply for my Carnival shareholder benefits?

You can apply for you shareholder benefits any time between 90days and 28days prior to sailing.  While we have heard of people having them added in advance of 90 days, in most cases people are told to reapply nearer the cruise.

Applying is easy, you just need to send a copy of your share certificate or the latest statement proving you own 100 shares along with the following details:

  • Your complete legal name
  • Reservation/booking number
  • Ship and sailing date
  • Proof of ownership of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc shares

The easiest way to do this is via email, but you can also send the details by post. We have listed the contact you need for each brand below:

The onboard credit for Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Cunard and Princess Cruises is determined based on the operational currency onboard the vessel. 

Please visit the Carnival Corporation website at www.carnivalcorp.com for updates. We often use our shareholder benefits on our P&O, Princess and Cunard cruises.

After requesting shareholder obc from Carnival by email they replied with instruction link.

I downloaded the app Weds eve & sent our etrade screenshots (just used "Fidelity" option).

Thurs AM they already emailed me as they needed 1 more screenshot...of course Etrade is being fussy & not letting me back in; need to call.

But I am impressed with their promptness!

I sent my usual request by Fax.  After 10 days of not receiving credit, I called and was given e-mail for customer support and was told to use www.stockperks.com/carnivalcorp in the future.  

Waiting to see what happens.  MJ

I signed up for stock perks on Friday, got my confirmation from them on Saturday, filled out my request with Carnival and was already approved for my credit on Monday. Easy as can be!

Stockperks just simply confirms that you are a stockholder. Once that is done you fill out the request for a specific cruise with carnival.

I just did this two days ago, and the credit was loaded within 48 hours of starting the process.  It was easy to do on the app, and I just took a photo of my screen showing my stock holdings and this was verified overnight, and the money was loaded a few hours later.

I downloaded the stick work app and opened an account but can’t get in 

My institution is not on the Plaid platform yet.  So do we just email like normal then ?

I asked someone who had submitted & rec'd the OBC using this new process about redacting & they said they did still redact all the usual personal info.

" This benefit is non-transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash and cannot be used for casino credits/charges and gratuities charged to your onboard account."

Is the part about gratuities new?  On our cruises the Stockholder OBC was applied to gratuities as well.

lostsoulcruiser

A couple of questions/concerns:

  • How does Stockperks protect your stock account privacy, in particular the account number you were able to black out when requesting your OBC via the fax or email?
  • Did Carnival change the on-board accounting system to be able to target stockholder OBC for certain charges and not others?  Sounds like it and does that show up when you check your account on the ship during a cruise?
  • Does the stockholder OBC change also apply to a booking OBC?

Thanks for the replies.

I used the app for the first time this week.

1. I downloaded the app.  A few glitches but did get it to download.

2. Opened app and it requires you to open an account.

3. Opened and account, a few glitches again, but it opened.

4. Once in the new account, it ask you to upload a copy of your statement, it also allows you to take a picture and upload while the account is open.

5. Took a statement and redacted the other holdings, amounts, account #, addresses, etc. I did this when I mailed before.

6. took picture and uploaded and sent to Stockperks.

7. Received confirm that they would be back to be in to 2 days.

8. Received email telling me to open Stockperks account and complete cruise information.

9. Opened account and entered Carnival cruise confirm #, date of cruise, ship name, etc. and hit enter.

10. Received confirm email stating they would be back in touch.

11. Received confirm stating that I had received my $100 OBC for my 7 day cruise.

I downloaded and used Stockperks this week. Once I had the app I simply allowed it to "pair" with my Robinhood app and entered info for 2 upcoming sailings. It took 2 days but I received an email for each sail date saying it was approved and the credits are both on my Carnival booking details. I understand the security concerns but I have all of my high dollar investments (IRA and 401K) with other brokers. I use the Robinhood account to "play" a little bit and that is where I hold my Carnival shares. 

There is some good reading in the Princess forum about this. You don't need to divulge all the info the app asks for. Just what we all need is another app to clutter on our phones ! I will use and delete as necessary. Apps can lead to info being stolen if they are compromised.

19 hours ago, VentureMan_2000 said: hoping this somehow makes applying easier... all the redacting of my portfolio documents is a pain.

It would still be prudent to redact with this new app. Give them minimal info to be safe. 

I don't get what the benefit is of downloading another app.  I just submitted my request via email and received credit in about 3 days.

News Release

Carnival corporation to strategically align portfolio and absorb p&o cruises australia into carnival cruise line.

Carnival Cruise Line to boost its capacity by absorbing P&O Cruises Australia in 2025, further optimizing the company's brand portfolio creating operational efficiencies 

MIAMI and SYDNEY , June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc  (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), the world's largest cruise company, today announced that in March 2025 , the company will sunset the P&O Cruises Australia brand and fold the Australia operations into Carnival Cruise Line , the most popular cruise line in the world. 

This change is the latest in a series of strategic moves designed to increase guest capacity for Carnival Cruise Line , the company's flagship brand and the highest-returning brand in Carnival Corporation's global portfolio. This will result in the addition of eight new ships to Carnival Cruise Line's fleet since 2021, including the successful shift of three vessels from sister brand Costa Cruises . In addition, the company recently placed its first new ship order in half a decade for two new Excel-class cruise ships to join Carnival Cruise Line in 2027 and 2028.

Josh Weinstein , chief executive officer of Carnival Corporation & plc. "In 2019, Carnival Cruise Line was 29% of our total capacity, and when we complete this move early next year, Carnival Cruise Line – our highest-returning brand – will make up approximately 35% of our total global capacity. While our company's overall growth between 2019 – 2028 is projected to be less than 2% (CAGR), the majority will be for Carnival Cruise Line , which will grow by approximately 50% over that time period."

In addition to further optimizing the composition of Carnival Corporation's global brand portfolio, the realignment will strengthen the company's performance in the South Pacific through numerous operational efficiencies.

"P&O Cruises Australia is a storied brand with an amazing team, and we are extremely proud of everything we have accomplished together in Australia and the broader region," said Weinstein. "However, given the strategic reality of the South Pacific 's small population and significantly higher operating and regulatory costs, we're adjusting our approach to give us the efficiencies we need to continue delivering an incredible cruise experience year-round to our guests in the region. Carnival Corporation & plc remains committed to Australia and we will continue to be the largest cruise operator in the region with 19 ships calling on 78 destinations and representing almost 60% of the market."

Building on Shared Legacy in the Region  As the P&O Cruises Australia brand retires early next year, the Pacific Encounter and Pacific Adventure ships will be rebranded and operated by Carnival Cruise Line brand. Pacific Explorer will exit the fleet in February of 2025. Current itineraries will operate business as usual, and guests will be notified in the coming days of any changes to future bookings as a result of this announcement.

When the transition is complete next year, Carnival Cruise Line – which has served the South Pacific since 2013 – will have four ships in the market, including Sydney -based Carnival Splendor and Carnival Luminosa sailing seasonally from Brisbane , in addition to their new sister ships Encounter and Adventure.

Christine Duffy , president of Carnival Cruise Line . "While we plan to make some technology upgrades and other small changes to the two P&O Cruises Australia ships, they will continue to be geared to the unique Australian market with a familiar feel and much of the same experiences for P&O Cruises Australia guests. The most notable change will be the availability of our popular HubApp, enabling guests to make online dining and excursion reservations, request food and beverage delivery, and chat with other guests, among other features. P&O Cruises Australia guests will also be invited to participate in Carnival's loyalty program and promotional offerings specific to Carnival ships sailing in the region."

"Over the coming months, we will find ways to celebrate and honor P&O Cruises Australia – a valued part of our legacy and an important contributor to the tourism industry in the South Pacific ," said Weinstein. "We value the connection our P&O Cruises Australia guests, employees, travel advisor partners, public officials and destinations have with our company and are committed to building on this association moving forward as Carnival." 

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This announcement does not impact P&O Cruises ( UK ), which is a separate Carnival Corporation & plc brand based in England and dedicated to the UK market.]

This Cruise Life

2023 carnival shareholder benefit (valid through july 2024).

' src=

In 2022, I talked about the benefits of being a shareholder in your favorite cruise line’s stock. At the time of that writing, Carnival Corporation provided up to $250 onboard credit depending on the length of sailing. That is, as long as the reservation was made by February 28, 2023 for sailings through July 31, 2023. Several of our readers have asked: What about sailings after July 31st?

Carnival Corporation Shareholder Benefit Update

Good news: Earlier this year, Carnival Corporation updated the Shareholder Benefit. With that said, they have yet to update their official Shareholder Benefits website (as of May 5, 2023). Not to fear, we’ve got you covered!

According to the updated document, included at the end of this article, all benefits remain the same from last year:

Shareholder Benefits Extended

Included inside Carnival Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report is an updated version of the Shareholder Benefit PDF. While nothing materially has changed with how to receive the benefit, the timeframe has been extended for when you can receive the benefit:

  • Reservations must be made by February 28, 2024
  • Shareholder Benefit applicable on sailings through July 31, 2024

For specific step-by-step instructions on how to request the benefit , be sure to check out our original post.

Not Just Carnival Cruise Lines

Several of our readers were surprised to learn that the Carnival Shareholder Benefit extended beyond Carnival Cruise Line. It’s valuable to remember that this is a Carnival Corporation Shareholder Benefit – which is inclusive of namesake Carnival Cruise Lines, but the benefit extends to all of Carnival’s brands, including:

  • Carnival Cruise Line
  • Princess Cruises
  • Holland America Line
  • Costa Cruises
  • AIDA Cruises
  • P&O Cruises

  • Employees, travel agents cruising at travel agent rates, interline 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.
  • Reservations must be made by February 28, 2024.
  • As with any stock purchase or investment, there is market risk. You could lose money with the investment. Additionally, as you buy/sell stock, there could be tax implications. Nothing on this page should be used to make an investment or tax decision and I retain zero liability for any decisions you may make

Video Recap

Soon after publishing this article, we recorded a video to recap all of the benefits of participating in the cruise line shareholder program. Give it a watch below!

  • Pingback: Cruise lines offer Shareholder Benefits

We have carnival stock. We are taking a Carnival cruise on September 16 2023, on Carnival Sunshine. How do we get credit to use onboard? Thank you. Joanne and Dan Irons

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. Check out our original article which has instructions on how to submit for your OBC for that upcoming sailing ( https://www.thiscruiselife.com/cruise-blog/carnival-shareholder-benefit/ ). The Carnival Sunshine is a beautiful ship and we hope you have a fantastic sailing!

Carnival wants to force us to install a third party app “stockperks” so we can submit information on stock ownership. Read the Stockperks privacy policy: https://www.stockperks.com/privacy Stockperks requires access to you personal financial information. The app also needs a lot of permissions to to look at all your stuff. either A: Carnival wants to offload processing to another data miner to save money regardless of the risks to its passengers or B: Carnival doesn’t want to be responsible for ending the credit, they are just hoping their cruisers will just stop applying for the stock ownership OBC because they do not want to give up privacy and security. What is your opinion?

Hey Bob. Thanks for the message. We have been taking advantage of the Shareholder Benefit for years and never had to go through stockperks.com for anything. It looks like that website just sources information on how to get the most out of your investment across different methods. If you follow the instructions we posted ( https://www.thiscruiselife.com/cruise-blog/carnival-shareholder-benefit/ ), there is no need to use a third party company/site.

They now require the use of Stockperks. I tried to submit the old way but got an email back saying it was now the only way to apply for stock OBC. I too hate the third party permissions.

We will do some digging into this as that method is not listed on the Carnival Corporation Shareholder Benefit qualifier sheet. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Hello, question regarding carnival stock. Do we get on board credit if we are able to use interline price? Thank you

You can try to request your shareholder credit, but according to the benefit guide, the credit is only offered to full-price fares. We’ve been able to get the credit applied to bookings that were made during special promotions, so we’re not sure how consistent they are in following this rule.

My wife and I our booked a princess cruise,Booking #6W2K8L Caribbean princess Feb 11 2024.We have CHANIVAL STOCK 100 Shares.I have FAX:661.753.0180. We sent 8 times the Shareholders Request form,Front page and back page Brokerage Information, Also Mailed the same Information to CA 91355. Carol and I have 144 cruises with princess cruises and never had a problem getting our Shareholders Benefits.

If you are in the US, have you also tried emailing your information to their Shareholder team? The email address is [email protected] . Not sure why there would be delays, but perhaps that will help to expedite things. The good news is you’re still more than a month out from sailing.

Dale , have you ever used interline price or free cruise and still got on board stock credit

Hey Rocky, We are cruising September 2024. What are our options. Do we need to wait until the new policy comes out to apply? Thanks

Hi Danne! You’ll have to wait to submit until closer to your sailing. We typically submit between 45 to 60 days out. We’ve tried to submit prior to that and we’ve received it kicked back asking to submit closer to time of sailing. So that means we’ll have the 2024-2025 terms and conditions out by then!

A good friend and I have traveled Carnival Lines(Princess Cruises) numerous times and share a cabin. He holds the minimum amount of shares, whereas I hold much more….even though he has traveled 4 times as much as me. I think it absolutely SUCKS that we have to SHARE the “minimal” amount of credits that Carnival offers…..especially since we EACH buy the drink package as well. And now after reading this about having to use an app to get the credits???? It has made me start to re evaluate whether I want to continue with this cruise line much longer.

We completely understand your frustration. The limiter on how many shareholder accounts can be used on each sailing is consistent with Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Lines. All of the brands limit the redemption to one Shareholder credit per stateroom. We are still doing our research on the app side of things to better understand why that change is being reported.

We were told today by the people at carnival that the stockperks app is the only way to request our onboard credit. We downloaded the app and then it wants my username and password to my Edward Jones account!!! Seriously, they want me to give a random third party my username and password to my financial accounts?!?!? I am beyond frustrated.

Hey there! I just finished the 2024 Carnival Shareholder Article where I talk about StockPerks App. We experienced the same pushback from Carnival Shareholder Services and were required to use the new process. I also created a post on the StockPerks App – here, I share some tips to reduce your exposure. You do also have an option for manual upload of your statement (just like today), however, the StockPerks App says it’ll take longer and it isn’t the recommended way to go. Talking to some of our readers, they share it worked without any issue!! 🙂 Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts! -Mark

Any idea what will happen to this benefit after July 2024? We have a HOLLAND AMERICA cruise scheduled in October so not sure if this benefit will be available by then.

In our experience, Carnival Corporations usually releases the new Shareholder Benefit program for the new year after their annual meeting (late February/early March). In previous years, the program was the exact same year after year. Once the new details get released, we will post a new article with the updated details (if anything changed).

I’ve been receiving the stock credit for MANY years and the past few years it hasn’t showed up when I board the ship. Thanks to your video I now know why. Even though I’ve gotten free cabins from the casino before apparently now they won’t give the credit to those bookings. At least now I won’t be applying for them. Thanks!

We’re glad to hear that our videos helped you out! And congratulations on your casino offers, sometimes the savings seen in those offers far offsets the benefits you receive as a shareholder.

Carnival Corp to fold P&O Cruises Australia brand into Carnival Cruise Line

carnival cruise share benefits uk

Carnival Corp. will fold P&O Cruises Australia into Carnival Cruise Line next year.

  • Other Carnival Corp. brands include Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn.
  • The change does not affect Carnival Corp.’s England-based P&O Cruises, which is a separate brand.

The cruise line operator will retire the P&O Cruises Australia brand in March 2025, the company announced Monday.

"Despite increasing Carnival Cruise Line's capacity by almost 25% since 2019 including transferring three ships from Costa Cruises, guest demand remains incredibly strong so we're leveraging our scale in an even more meaningful way by absorbing an entire brand into the world's most popular cruise line," Carnival Corp. CEO Josh Weinstein said in a news release .

Other Carnival Corp. brands include Holland America Line , Princess Cruises and Seabourn.

Carnival Cruise Line will constitute around 35% of the company’s worldwide capacity when the transition is finished, up from 29% in 2019. P&O’s Pacific Encounter and Pacific Adventure ships will sail for Carnival following a rebrand, while Pacific Explorer will leave the fleet in February.

"P&O Cruises Australia is a storied brand with an amazing team, and we are extremely proud of everything we have accomplished together in Australia and the broader region," Weinstein continued. "However, given the strategic reality of the South Pacific's small population and significantly higher operating and regulatory costs, we're adjusting our approach to give us the efficiencies we need to continue delivering an incredible cruise experience year-round to our guests in the region.”

A spokesperson for the company told USA TODAY the integration "will unfortunately result in some staffing reductions, and we are notifying employees," though they did not share specific numbers. "We also expect to have most members of the P&O Australia shipboard team redeployed to work for Carnival Cruise Line or our six other cruise lines operating in the region," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Following the change, Carnival will have four ships sailing in the market, including Carnival Splendor and Carnival Luminosa. The company said guests will be contacted “in the coming days” about any changes to future cruises because of the consolidation. Current itineraries will sail as scheduled.

Cruise booking tips: There's more to it than picking your travel dates

"We look forward to building on the history and heritage of P&O Cruises Australia by bringing some of our innovations to more cruise guests in the region," Carnival Cruise Line president Christine Duffy added in the release. "While we plan to make some technology upgrades and other small changes to the two P&O Cruises Australia ships, they will continue to be geared to the unique Australian market with a familiar feel and much of the same experiences for P&O Cruises Australia guests.”

The change does not affect Carnival Corp.’s England-based P&O Cruises, which is a separate brand. The company also recently announced that Carnival Cruise Line will add two new Excel-class ships in 2027 and 2028.

Suri Cruise

Suri Cruise has announced the next big step in her life as she’s set to attend the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in September.

Suri , 18, the daughter of Hollywood icons Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, revealed the news in a rare TikTok post where she and a group of friends each wore a sweatshirt from their chosen college.

The video, set to the tune of Abbi Sutphen’s Always Remember You, has the caption: ‘LaG commitment day.’

Carnegie Mellon’s School of Design is one of the oldest and most highly ranked programs in the US, and it’s believed the 18-year-old is leaning towards studying fashion .

‘She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman,’ an insider told the Daily Mail .

‘She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.’

Top Gun icon Tom, 61, and Dawson’s Creek’s Katie, 45, welcomed Suri on April 18, 2006, the anniversary of their first date.

Suri is reportedly extremely close to her mum, but it’s believed she hasn’t seen her dad for 11 years .

It’s claimed that the Mission Impossible actor helps his daughter financially, but no longer sees her after he and Katie divorced in 2012 and she left the Church of Scientology.

Tom also has two children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman – Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29 – who he is believed to see regularly and are both members of the Scientology church .

Their divorce settlement stated that the actor agreed to pay his ex-wife $400,000 (£314,200) a year until Suri turned 18, and he will pay for all her college fees.

The agreement states that although he might not see his daughter, he has to cover ‘medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs.’

Tom Cruise holding daughter Suri

Around the time of the divorce was the last time Tom was publicly pictured with Suri, taking her to Disney World in 2012.

At the time, a spokesperson said: ‘Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children.’

It’s reported that Tom has not seen Suri in the 10 years since, with the pair being no contact for the last three years.

A source told Heat magazine: ‘Tom is feeling guilty about missing so much of her life, but insists that he hasn’t completely shut Suri out of his life, and does get updates from time to time.’

Katie has not commented on Tom’s relationship with their daughter and has stressed the importance of allowing Suri to maintain her privacy.

Shareholder Benefit

By wowzz , February 23, 2021 in P&O Cruises ( UK )

I buy shares through an online broker, as part of an ISA.

I just send a copy of my online ISA statement, with all information redacted, with the exception of the details of the Carnival shares.

Or that's what I used to do. Got rid of my Carnival shares when the price started falling last year. Probably not a great move, but hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Bought them through the Share Centre which has now been taken over by Interactive Investments.    What do I actually need to prove to P and O or Princess that I have these shares? Everything was done online. I have found something called a Contract Note from March last year. Do I just print it out and email it to them? Or do you recommend transferring them to Equiniti which evidently, according to P and O , they will liaise with them for proof of ownership.   We have three cruises this year and three next year so would really appreciate someone’s help with this.  Thanks.   Terri

Share centre used to advise Carnival on your behalf, but no idea if ii will do the same. But if our July cruise goes ahead I will find out.

You dont need too that is one of the benefits of having a share certificate P&O/Cunard can check shareholding with Equiniti.

I bought my shares many years ago and option was a share certificate which I took. Dont pay anyone anything and I know I once sent a copy of my share certificate to P&O and they said I would never need to send copy in future for any bookings with them or Cunard. Princess is a different system altogether unless it has changed since we last cruised with them. There is a form that they ask for you to fill in and fax to them. Nobody seems to fax anymore in UK but is still widely used in US. They also used to request a recent proof of shareholding with a date on not more than a month before you cruise which obviously means a share certificate is no good as its not dated except for when you purchased shares. In the end I finally turned to my TA for help and they sorted it out. Let's hope Princess have changed for UK customers wanting to apply shareholding benefit to their cruises.

Cool Cruiser

Yes Majortom, that is what confused me, because I thought if the

document is dated last year, how do they know I haven’t sold

the shares!

Nearer the time I will contact PandO share advice office to see

what they will accept and take it from there.

The last twice with Princess 2019 I sent my share account number to [email protected] and they applied the benefit exactly as Carnival brands.

Last year I sent my contract from hargreaves Lansdown for the shares.  They accepted that and credited the room.  However the cruise has been moved to next April and the room credit for the shares wasn't.  I did have it added before I had paid off the full amount.  Since then I have bought and sold the shares 3 times.

Same for us with our Princess cruises since about 2016. 

Glad I haven't got to dig out the share certificates, They go back to the P&O Princess days pre merger with Carnival.

I just phone Hargreaves Lansdowne who hold our shares and they phone P and O or Princess or Cunard and OBC is added.

No they dont I bought my Carnival shares post P&O/Princess  in September 2011 and opted for a share certificate which I still have.

Yes you do.

I just screen shot my holdings and email that in.

HBoS based share management companies will not give details of your holding to a third party e.g. Carnival,  citing GDPR - they used to in the past but won’t anymore. It’s easy enough to take a screenshot of your holding complete with name, date and share holding but with your account number etc redacted and then e-mail Carnival shareholder benefits.

No. This is the American one quoted in dollars.

 Carnival is quoted on both the US and UK stock markets.

Carnival Corporation is the US one quoted in dollars.

Carnival PLC is the UK one quoted in pounds.

To avoid complicated exchange rates you want the UK one.

The current price is £16.86 per share so £1686 for 100 plus dealing costs and stamp duty.

This also means that dividends (when they resume), which are quoted in dollars, are automatically converted to pounds for you.

Stamp duty is 0.5% of the transaction value so around £8.43 using the above price.

Share price is up by almost £1 per share today and the highest it's been for months.

A result for Carnival, burying P&O's bad news announcement on Budget day.

Certainly does seem odd.  Cancel a load of cruises - share price goes up.  I have noticed over the last week that the share price has edged to over £17 only to fall later in the day.

Currently up 7% today at £17.43 that is a 40% increase in a month, who would have thunk it, another 50 pence and they will be the same as what we bought them for somewhere in the distant past.

£2 down today and some very gloomy commentaries about “heading for junk status”

Just have to keep hoping it’ll work out and that the money people do their thing.

I did ponder buying more shares when they dropped to their lowest at about £6 but hadnt got the nerve as there was no confidence that the cruise industry would survive and they say never buy shares unless you can afford to lose that money. I purchased 100 shares in 2011 at £21 per share purely for the shareholder benefit when doing 3-4 cruises a year up until the pandemic and also with the dividend I have had a lot more in value than what I paid if I lost the lot now but like all of us nobody wants to see Carnival or any other cruise company go under.

Weren't they downgraded to junk status last summer?

Yes they were, I am currently making double my money on shares I bought 8 months ago. They will bring back the dividend once the cruises open up again too.

Up by nearly £1 so far today. There seems to be little rhyme nor reason in the ups and downs.
