Creator's Key Takeaways

Most people don't realize this, but owning just 100 shares in major cruise companies can unlock free onboard credit every time you sail.

We're talking about $50, $100, even up to $250 per cruise.

You have to request it in advance, usually at least two to three weeks before sailing, and submit proof of ownership.

This is stacking on top of your perks, not replacing them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Own at least 100 shares in Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Group, or Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings to unlock onboard credit.
Request the shareholder benefit at least two to three weeks before sailing and submit proof of ownership.
Use the Stock Perks app for easier claiming with Carnival.
Book with Dream Vacations, Laney Melnick and Associates to maximize hidden perks and onboard benefits.
