JustCruiseMe Posted January 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If we have a joint stock account can either of us receive the stock holder's benefits? Because if DH puts it in just his name and I want to take a girl's cruise I couldn't get the perks but if we put it in both names then will CCL honor that?

snc_cam Posted January 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2014 They should since it is a joint account. Now, you both can't use it in the same cabin (only one per cabin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefo Posted January 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2014 another think to let you know. we have ccl and receive 4 $25 dividend checks a year. not bad. plus you get the $100 on board credit for 7 day sailings. before long the stock is paid for and you are making a profit.

If both names show on the proof document that you submit for onboard credit, then either of you should be able to claim the benefit. Have a great girlfriend's cruise cuz I can see that is where this is heading. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCruiseMe Posted January 28, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hehehe thank you all for the info and yes girlfriend's cruise is in the planning, along with my sister! I figured since DH and I are going on a cruise in about 3 weeks might as well do it now and get the obc right off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I took my mom on two cruises, I got the OBC for each one. Even if you share a cabin with your girlfriends, you alone will get the OBC. Enjoy.

pauleydm Posted January 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Where can I purchase Carnival Stock?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montekat Posted January 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Where can I purchase Carnival Stock?:) I set up an acct with TDAmeritrade. One low price to buy or sell stocks and no maintenance fees. I keep 100 shares of CCL, but buy & sell extra shares. I recently sold my extra 180 shares for a $1200 profit which I will use to buy more shares in the future. Plus, I got $70 dividend for the shares! This is just my "play money" but gives me a hobby!!

JustCruiseMe Posted January 29, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I set up an account with Scott trades. $7 per trade. I HOPE that was a good decision is there any reason that TDAmeritrade is better? Scott doesn't charge maintenance fees either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HOPE that was a good decision is there any reason that TDAmeritrade is better? Scott doesn't charge maintenance fees either. As far as I know, they are pretty comparable. I looked at Scott Trade also, but can't really remember exactly why I picked TDAmeritrade over them as it was 5 or 6 yrs. ago. I believe I pay $9.99 a trade. It is still better than when I was advised to go through a broker at a local bank and his charge PER SHARE was $l.00 to buy and sell. Never again!

JustCruiseMe Posted February 6, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted February 6, 2014 When they give me the OBC where does it show up? In my manage my cruise details or? Thanks sorry this is the first time. OBTW I had to resend because the jpg I sent had my name but didn't have the dates on the stock, so still waiting to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be listed as a credit and is $100 for a 7 night cruise. I always print the summary and take it with me just in case there is a glitch. So far, it has always been there!

SkyMaster Posted February 6, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yep, that works. My wife and I sometimes sail SOLO, and we can always get the OBC, regardless of which of us is sailing. It's a GREAT deal IMO. "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted February 7, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Where can I purchase Carnival Stock?:) A discount broker like TD Ameritrade would be best... BUT If you are asking this question, you are a neophyte. Before buying any stock do some research... talk to family and friends... get some basic information on investing. Make sure that you can afford to invest and that you won't need the money in a month or two. After doing that, you will be ready to begin a fun journey. Happy investing!

DW and I own stock in both CCL and RCI. However it is an investment for us, along with some other stocks. I would not buy 100 shares just to get $100 OBC each time I cruised.

If that money is just sitting around no reason not to buy if you (we) plan to sail 2 or 3 times a year. Much more return on our $ than 1.2% interest in savings account. CCL is paying dividend of .25 4 x year. So not bad. I agree research is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say it wasn't a good investment, just would not buy 100 shares just to get $100 OBC. Besides, all of our cruises will not be on CCL. Too many other lines and ships out there to limit ourselves to just 1 line. Edited February 8, 2014 by Georgiagolfer spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, all of our cruises will not be on CCL. Too many other lines and ships out there to limit ourselves to just 1 line. Who said we were limiting? But since CCL from what i know seems to be online one of a few stocks that have decent shareholder benefits, why not? Even Disney doesn't do anything for their shareholders and all Starbucks does is send a free drink coupon in their annual report...I'd say even using it a little bit is worth it. Heck it's up 200.00 in just this last week so if I sold it I'd have made 200.00 profit and 100.00 OBC. Not too shabby for doing nothing. Besides that they send .25 dividend 4 times year..so you get another hundred dollars. Can't find any bank that pays that much even for CDS. So I'd say it is a good investment if all you are buying it for is the 100.00 obc bc where else are you going to get that much in that short a time? Different strokes for different folks...we are frugal, we have the money so why not use it to save some...makes perfect sense to me. We plan on booking another cruise while we are on this cruise so we should get some OBC there also. Win win, save save...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillandKateC Posted February 15, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The shareholder credit can also be used all all the other cruise lines that Carnival owns including Princess and Holland America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
