You have to own 100 shares of stock to get the benefit. If the stock was down by $5 yesterday, then that's like saving $500 if you purchase 100 shares today.

MCC retired Posted March 27, 2019 Author #29 Share Posted March 27, 2019 You don't have to layout any additional $$$ if you buy the stock within your existing IRA investments . CCL is down again today . Don't forget that you can get the Shareholder OBC on Cunard in addition to those Carnival Corp lines previously mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great way to be getting a benefit from my IRA, while not being able to have access to the money for a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted March 27, 2019 #31 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Could someone please confirm the one caveat that you need to be a 100 share stockholder when you initially book any cruise to receive the OBC. Purchasing any stock once you already have a cruise booked makes those sailings ineligible for the OBC. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must not have been checking fuel prices lately. Wonder if they are hurting other Carnival lines as badly. The President of Carnival, Christine Duffy, is not a "he". Fuel prices across the board are up due to the problems shipping ethanol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen people purchase stock AFTER they booked their cruise and still gotten the shareholder OBC. Whether that is still the case I cannot verify.

LuckyStar Posted March 27, 2019 #40 Share Posted March 27, 2019 They are down because of the a bad quarterly report that came out yesterday. CCL thinks things will pick up as bookings are up from last quarter. #FinancialNerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth2 Posted March 27, 2019 #43 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Carnival also pays a dividend. Based on the current market price of $51 per share the yield is 3.5%. If you take two 7 day cruises you get $200 OBC which is an additional 4% return on your investment and is not taxable. I received the OBC for 4 cruises, on a single submission, which I had booked before I bought the stock. Edited March 27, 2019 by Garth2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I can buy the stock, but owning it within my IRA is what I prefer and I have looked around a bit to see if Vanguard allows that but have not found a yes answer. So I will call to find out.
