Excellent article, well reasoned. I've always liked Motley Fool.

 

Taking that into consideration and the on board credit for holding a hundred shares, I wish I had $3300 liquid assets sitting around.

I'm one of the lucky buyers. I bought CCL March of 2009 when it was just over $17 a share.

 

Beside the quarterly dividends, I've received Stockholder OBC on 7 cruises with 2 more booked for 2014 (B2B).

I agree Carnival is a decent stock deal- especially if you sale them.

 

That said- the writer of the article doesn't seem to know much about the industry.

Norwegian Cruise Lines has a unique position operating cruise ships that are more oriented toward providing a luxurious experience than a casual cruise.

NCL is most decidedly NOT a luxury line, and it seems to me the entire purpose of 'freestyle' is a casual cruise- even more casual (at least in terms of scheduling and dress requirements, I hear that cruisers do tend to dress up a bit) than Carnival.
