tropicqueen Posted November 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I have been reading all about this and hope to purchase stock in RCL and CCL. This would cover all the main lines we take. I have one question about the statement saying the OBC DOES not APPLY to a reduced price cruise. No one ever pays full price so when would they not give you OBC if you owned 100 shares ? Any experts that know the answer ? I just want to be sure before I buy. We have a Carnival cruise booked in March at the Military rate. Would love to get the credit, it was not a huge difference in price so every little bit would help. RCL is the real bargin now at 12 bucks. The word is that Carnival will drop a lot more before Xmas. Would like to just put a buy order in for $15 or less. Anyone reccomend a low commission place to buy from ? Thanks for any information !

Tropicqueen I recently bought CCL stock and had the credit applied to three cruises I had booked using the military rate. We just finished the first of the three cruises and there was no problem with the credit. RCL excludes giving the stockholder credit on some of their bookings like the 10/2 WOW sale. There are a lot of brokers you can buy stock through - sharebuilder.com, ameritrade, schwab, bank of america, etc I paid $9.95 to buy 100 shares.

traveler/ Posted November 11, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2008 How much of an OBC do you get for 100 shares of stock on RCL? Depends on length of cruise, from $50 to $250 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
