Carnival shares

[kruzseeka]

Didn't realise you have still to hold your shares at the time of sailing. I thought as long as you held them at the time of paying in full for you cruise you were eligible for the obc. Just as well we haven't cashed in!

[Ataraxia]

Could the massive hike in share prices give Carnival an opportunity to scrap the OBC without doing to much damage to the long term share price ?

 

They can keep the status quo, as the more it costs to buy the qualifying amount fewer people make the investment.

Also, if you want 20% of your formalwear, you only need to buy 1 Moss Bross share.

Now at £39.10 - what's going on? Bought at £22 - thank you....

A good investment with cruises at least every year and the dividends. REALLY wish all my shares did as well!!

Lower fuel prices resulting in increased forecast profit for this quarter trading.

What time of year are the share divis paid out please.

[rickpo]

Hi the english lady, If you go to the web page below it gives you the dates of this years dividend payments, next years should be more or less the same.

One of the reasons the share price is so high is because Carnival are buying back their own shares, they started a buy-back last month.

 

I doubt the on board credit will change as its the shareholders (as in cruisers) that approve it every March.

For anyone interested the shares are back under £30 a share from a high of £37 last month.

Why has it fallen? Is it just in line with the general market fluctuations at the moment or any other reasons? From one who hasn't a clue but is tempted.....

Zika virus so people think cruise sales may drop. Mainly I think, however carnival should be posting so good profit figures so that may help them rebound.

Its hard to say but they dipped this time last year too.

 

You only have to take one 14 night cruise to get £150 credit which is a 5% return, plus you get around £60 a year in dividends,

As a shareholder you get extra OBC & a dividend, from the 150 pounds obc for a 2 week cruise I assume means about 75 pounds pw.

Does anyone know if this "bonus" is available on all Carnival ships ie Princess.

 

As you can tell I am not a shareholder but considering

The benefit is available on all Carnival ships, ie. Cunard, Princess, HAL, Costa

etc. The amount paid depends on the length of the cruise booked.

The shareholder credit comes from Carnival Corp, not Carnival Cruise lines. It is good across all cruise lines under the CCL umbrella. (Princess, HAL, P&O, Carnival, Aida, Seybourn, etc)

 

The shareholder credit is granted on a per cabin basis, one per cabin. Amount varies by length of voyage. Spelled out in detail at phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit

 

Two shareholders or more in the same cabin will only be allowed one shareholder cabin credit. There is no 1/2 credit for a cabin with a shareholder and a non-shareholder in the same cabin.

Thanks for the reply's and link :)

I wondered that as well, probably unless the person who issues it is notified of sales, which seems unlikely.

 

Claiming OBC on false pretences though :)

 

Won't be claiming on false pretences - as long as you have applied for OBC once final balance is paid, then you are free to sell if you wish - you have proof of ownership at that point of application :)

We bought our shares when they were low (£11.48) and have probably had our money back 3 times over at least!! - think I will just go and work it out lol :)
