Small ups and downs of share market one thing...... but CCL (OFFICIALLY) Loosing $4.5 Billion in a quarter I think is unrecoverable. Hertz, Carnival, RCL,Norwegian I think are heading for Chap 11 .. (Through no fault of the cruise lines.)

And I have shares in all of those. Luckily I believe they can survive :-)

Just transfer $$ to my US trading account. Think it hit a level I am happy with.

Going to be another big/massive - hit to the share price tomorrow.

Any particular reason. Holding off buying more until i think they are rock bottom 🙂

I bought mine at around $42 a share via an app called Stake. 4 cruises of OBC already and 3 more booked. They are a long term investment.

I'm in NZ, can anyone help with how to buy the shares from here please?

I used an App called Stake to buy mine. You need a broker that can trade on the US market not just the Australian. Of the major banks I believe ANZ does but check brokerage charges.

That is the best part of these, the dividends and the addition of OBC when cruising on certain lines.

He is 22. I think he will get value over the next 60+ years LOL

As a Australian lookiing to cruise in or around Australia Carnival Co Cruise ships are plentiful so I intend to make my first stock purchase in Carnival and try there ships first IE Cunard HAL, P&O Princess Costa etc.

I bought mine about a year ago. Since then used it on 4 cruises (Carnival, P&O and Costa) and have 3 more booked for this year. It covers 90% of the cruise lines we use.

Thinking of buying some for my 22 year old who loves cruising. Can only be used once per cabin but as a long term investment for him I think he will get good value.

Have you got clearance from your Dr? That's the key really. 

Sure do.

Has anyone travelled with a cast on? Any issues? Rang Costa and they didn't seem to care but going to get a medical cert just incase.

So... broke my arm a few days ago and now in a cast. Called the cruise line and they suggested a medical certificate.

Has anyone travelled with a cast? any issues?

Just for those following along I have had a few issues with getting Costa to apply mine. Finally called Carnival Australia yesterday who gave me an email for Costa Australia (aus_booking@costa.it) . Send details to that email address and within 12hrs OBC applied.

Faxed off my details for upcoming cruise 2 days ago to Costa. Anyone have any idea how long it taken, how do I find out if they have processed it?

Cruise is in 20 days.

I have attached the file so you can see what I sent.  Not sure about Carnival but Princess now will only accept faxes rather than email.  

 

Hope this helps!

This is great info, thanks. Can't see the attachment but think I can follow your instructions.

Can anyone who has Carnival Shares tell me what you supplied to get the OBC? I bought my required shares via an online brokerage company (Stake) a few weeks ago and need to supply documentation to Costa and Carnival for upcoming cruises. 

We are booked in Dec 2019 into a Suite on Fortuna from Singapore. New to Costa but our 18th Cruise in the last 10 years.

I have a few questions:

We have the intendore package
I believe this includes the Mini Bar? What is actually in the mini bar? If we use it they just keep refilling it?
It includes drinks to room. Does this mean I can get barista coffee delivered each morning?

I have 100 Carnival Shares.
What do I need to supply to them? Can I email paperwork? I think curreny on board is Euro so I get 75Euro? How long before cruise do they need the Paperwork?

Thanks to anyone that replies.

Hi,

We have booked a cruise in 2020 directly with Carnival (Aust). I cant see anywhere I can log on and pay off the cruise as I go or even check when payment due. I have been able to do this with Carnival (USA) before.

I can find it to "manage" - ie set up onboard account and fill in personal details.

Am I missing it or is it not possible
