DonnaBeachLover Posted August 7, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Does anyone know how much l00 shares of Carnival stock cost? Is it doing good :)? Is there a limit of the OBC you can get if you own stock - like say l cruise per yr. onboard credit? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesaccasey Posted August 7, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Go to Yahoo or Google Finance and look up ticker symbol CCL. The price listed x 100 = cost plus any trading/broker fees. They do not limit the number of cruises you can get OBC per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted August 7, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Friday after hrs trading closed at $31.83....So 100 shares would be $3183.00 PLUS what you pay to purchase stock. O.B.C can be used for each cruise you take, no limit to number per year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillonsmimi Posted August 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If you are going to buy, this is the time to do it. We cruise on the avarage 2 X per year (7 days each,= $200). So even tho the stock is down 10 dollars (for us) it is still the best performing item in portfolio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 7, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If you have to ask on a cruising message board, how much stock costs, I think you should do a lot more due diligence about stock before you jump into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted August 7, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I agree that a message board like this is not the place to get stock advice.We would not buy the stock just for OBC. We'd buy it for its upside potential,NOT sure in this economic environment if cruising is a great investment?? BTW our "best" performing stock right now is Pepsi. It was up when most everything else was down, AND it gives a dividend too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also looking at CAT to buy in this down market, if things open down. some high dividend stocks .. but then I already own CCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlfire Posted August 7, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I purchased the stock over a year ago, it was up 10$ now back down to about what I paid for it. I have however made $500 in OBC in the last year and a half, no limit, no maximum. However they could end the program at any time as its approved on a an annual basis. Carnival also issues dividends, so it has that additional revenue stream as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
