If you want 100 shares of Carnival stock

[UpstateCruizer]

I have a question maybe you all can help me out? If i buy 100 share and 100 share for my wife do we both get the obc each or is it's one per room? thank you all.

 

The website states "Onboard credit per stateroom on sailings of 7 to 13 days..." so yes it is done by stateroom. Here's the page with the link http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit

 

Once you click on the shareholder benefit it will give you all the details. If you own shares in your name and your wife owns seperate shares in her name and book two seperate staterooms you would both get the credit.

I sail about 3 to 5 times a year on CCL lines (Carnival, Princess, Cunard) and I collect the OBC on EVERY cruise. That amouts to about $300-$500 a year PLUS the dividends. Where else can you get that on 100+ shares of stock? :D

[VentureMan_2000]

You get the $100 per room. Before the fuel surcharge, I would book a cabin for my wife and a daughter and one for myself and the other daughter. We both owned CCL stock, so each cabin got $100 in obc..

Interestingly enough, since both cabins were linked to my cc, I in the end, got the entire $200 obc. It was like it was all comingled.

 

 

Sweet! Thanks for the post. :)

Right now with the low price per share Thank God for the OBC

? on buy stock for carnival. Do you have to buy 100 shares or is it $100.00 dollars worth?

I think I answered the ? in my head while I typed it out. I would guess that it is 100 shares.

You have to purchase a minimum of 100 shares... so with today's closing price, it would cost you upwards of $3,300 for a $100 OBC... and then you just have to pray the stock price doesn't go down more than $1 a share... because then this purchase would be for not...

[btracing03234]

LOL its a great buy. I bought Carnival at $41.00. shows how smart I am

 

I paid $41.01! Stupid me!

[gtalum]

It'll likely get quite a bit cheaper in the next few months. ;)

 

Don't ever buy the stock just for OBC.

[cruisinsly]

I know that you receive the OBC with Carnival for owning 100 shares, but what are the benefits for RCL?

[vah]

don't forget they also pay a dividend 4 times a year on average $.42 per share which is an additional $42 four times a year

Oh, I think it's time to buy more!!! It's going to recover......(crosses fingers)

I agree the ships are still full, and cruise lins have very cheep labor. As soon as oil comes down

[UpstateCruizer]

I've also been considering buying more if it dips closer to the $30 point. We paid somewhere around $31 for it back in July. It went up and we could have sold it for a small profit several times. I'm not much into day trading but this stock would easily make a small profit based on recent performance if you bought in close to the $30 point. I don't worry about the day to day bounces as it seems to recover nicely. I can understand those that bought in at a much higher price being nervous (praying). I like the $100 obc and dividends it pays. Lets not forget that the $100 obc is tax free as well :D

There are no benefits for RCL, for owning 100 shares of CLL... :D

I would like to buy more if it goes into the high 20s but I just booked the Carnival Dream for New Years 09. Thats why the stock went up some the other day LOL.

[DG2004]

I'm gonna get $100 at least 3 times a years...I figure thats pretty good dividends in its self....Dennis

 

 

not to mention it is yielding 4.89%

If you cruise a lot the OBC is a very nice plus to the stock

There are a number of brokerages you can use. Try fedility.com... they probably have info on there for newbie investors.

 

In short, you open an account... put some money in it... and then use their Web site to purchase shares of a company you want to invest in. They will exchange your money in your account for the shares you purchase. They hold onto the shares and keep track of them for you. Pretty simple. The hard part id deciding what will be a good company to own stock in.

I don't have the cash in my bank account to go out and buy 100 shares right now, however, I do have money in retirement accounts with Ameriprise. If I ask my financial advisor to purchase 100 shares of stock for me with the retirement funds, will that qualify as owning 100 shares and, therefore, the OBC? (Obviously, I wouldn't be receiving the dividends during the year, but my retirement account would.)

Yes, as long as you are the owner, you would qualify to recieve the OBC as owner of the account.

You can just send them a email and attach the pdf file of you last online statement from your brokerage account.

 

Hopefully they will answer via email to confirm it, but often dont answer when they do it, so you have to call your TA to get it confirmed or look at the online docs, page 6 will show the OBC.
