DMRick Posted June 23, 2010 #151 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yes, it is down close to $10 from its recent high Yes, it is..from when I first started looking, it's gone down pretty good. Obviously, I had an amount in mind, and I won't let it go back up too much without a buy in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted June 24, 2010 #154 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Especially those longer cruises where you rack up $250 per cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good, right? :D Enjoy your first of many Princess cruises. BTW, I noticed you also cruises HAL. Now there's another outlet for you.

CruiseReg Posted June 24, 2010 #158 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks. We also sail Carnival..that is also included, correct? Yes it is. We've used the benefit several times on both Carnival and HAL (4 times in 2008 alone!). We're looking forward to our first Princess cruise this coming December 4th on the Crown where it will be used once again. :) I love this benefit!

lianaks Posted June 24, 2010 #159 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Is it too late to purchase stock to get the benefit now? My cruise leaving July 29 (13 days cruise), I have 30 days before it sail. If I brought the stock in a few days, will I be able to get the benefit for my July 29 cruise (OBC $100). LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I brought the stock in a few days, will I be able to get the benefit for my July 29 cruise (OBC $100). LS. It's not too late to purchase the stock, but keep in mind that last I checked it was over $32 a share and you need 100 shares to get the credit. So, unless you plan on a long term investment or cruise often, I would not even consider paying that price for CCL stock right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwinfl91 Posted June 24, 2010 #162 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The way Carnival stock bounces up and down and if you are buying it with the intention of keeping it to go on at least a couple of cruises I would say buy the stock, get the cruise credit and go on a bunch of other cruises. We have been using it for a number of years now and although the price of the stock has been all over the place the cruise credits are better than the dividends that some of my other investments are paying. Have a great next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you even need to cruise often (or stay long term) to get more from the obc than some other 'good' stocks are paying out! Percentage wise, that's a pretty good return right now in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking on the stock exchange and don't know what I am looking for!!!! Kimberley Carnival Corporation traades on both the New York Stock Exchange (ticker symbol is CCL) and on the London Exchange (I think the ticker is CUK, but not certain). You can buy it on either. Since you list UK as your home it is probably easier for you to buy it on the London Exchange Edited June 24, 2010 by paul929207 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_C Posted June 24, 2010 #168 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Ticker for the UK stock is also CCL You can see prices for LON and NYSE at http://www.google.co.uk/finance?q=LON:CCL and http://www.google.co.uk/finance?q=NYSE:CCL Prices have been sliding for the last week, and are currently almost at a 6 month low after a volatile day. If you are buying just for the OBC, this is not a bad time to buy. Latest prices $35.21 or £23.24 Although its listed in NY and London, the value of shares seems to be priced in US$, and London prices reflect the varying exchange rate as much as they reflect the value of the company.
