path145 Posted September 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Told my accountant that I wanted to buy 100 shares of Carnival stock but didn't mention the stock symbol. He called me back to discuss CUK stock which I'd never heard of. It looks like it's also Carnival stock but I'm used to seeing CCL. The values and dividends are a little different but the descriptions look the same. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? And will Carnival accept CUK stock for OBC?

johnlcruise Posted September 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I believe the CUK stock is also Carnival but out of Great Britain stock exchange. But is also listed on the NYC stock exchange. Not sure if you would get the same benefits if you live here in the U.S. I would buy the CCL stock. I also see the price is a little bit higher on the CUK stock because of the exchange rate. I would call Carnival or go to this site,, Carnival Shareholder Benefits site. http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit Edited September 3, 2015 by johnlcruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love my grandkids Posted September 3, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Price is very high from an historical perspective. Unless you cruised numerous time a year not sure if it is worth it but your decision to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-Crazy Posted September 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Price is really high now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccer Posted September 4, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Price is really high now. Price is pretty low compared to last week so maybe not such a bad time to buy. It's been in the 50s for a while, so 40s might not be a bad time to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Az Posted September 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Either stock is accepted. This is directly from the Carnival Corporation & PLC Shareholder Benefit page: This benefit is available to shareholders holding a minimum of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc.

It's been in the 50s for a while, so 40s might not be a bad time to get in. It was low 20s when I bought it, hopefully it won't go back there. I think by this point my shares have paid for themselves. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope we see these prices in a few years from now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimknyzer Posted May 16, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 16, 2020 CCL Closed today at $12.78 I bought 107 shares yesterday at $12.26 NOW is the time to buy. Bookings are up 600% over last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdet67 Posted May 20, 2020 #13 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Both CCL and CUK share the same risk and dividends and the price was based on the success of the US or London stock exchange at the current time. I was advised to buy which one was cheaper because you can buy more shares for the same price which equals more dividends. If someone wants to trade based on change of price buying or selling, then I guess which ever price changes the most is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
