Creator's Key Takeaways

I've quietly collected $6,950 in OBC since January 2025, and it all comes from one stock purchase I made when I first started sailing full-time.

This perk is if you are a shareholder and you own Carnival stock, you're eligible to receive additional onboard credit per cruise.

I can tell you that for my own personal benefit, because I'm on back-to-back cruises, this perk has more than paid for the stock itself a number of times.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Stock Perks app and link your brokerage account to validate share ownership.
Submit your sailings for the current year, and wait until November to submit for the following year.
Double-check your confirmation numbers and email approvals to ensure onboard credit is applied.
Use onboard credit for excursions, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, or casino cash-outs.
