DrTee Posted May 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) I just got an alert that the CCL stock is down to $13.78 a share. I remember when it was $59. Edited May 11, 2022 by DrTee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is still available. Nothing has been done to negate it. It is a marketing tool, and it would be counterproductive to take it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlaMariner Posted May 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Here is the way I look at it.... 100 shares @13.78 = $1,378 If you cruise 2x a year for 14 days or longer that's $400 in OBC ($200 for each cruise) That gives you a dividend yield of 29% ($400/$1,378). One of our "better" investments for sure.....and then there is the chance for the stock to go back up, It's a no brainer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510picker Posted May 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The shareholder credit is still there. Just be aware that if you get casino offers, the shareholder credit can't be used. There are different levels of casino offers too and some do qualify for the shareholder credit. Just something to be aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been $250 for longer cruises for a long time. Was the amount decreased recently? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy-Europe Posted May 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It is - we ve got the full OBC. If you loyal to Carnivals brands - best time to buy shares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsmt47471015 Posted May 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Got my obc for our recent cruise on Koningsdam and have received it on other carnival brands so I take the view that its a low risk investment with reasonable returns, and the more you cruise the more the returns, that said I purchased mine as they were falling at the start of the pandemic, by the beginning of 2024 I will have made up what I paid in obc, any dividends will be a bonus👍. Just a quick mention ,first time with HAL and very, very impressed🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTee Posted May 12, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I bought my shares a long time ago, so I think I’ve recouped my initial investment, but it’s worrisome. A friend has been loyal to Crystal and they’ve gone bust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gives you a 36% dividend yield!!!!! Incredible.

bartexas Posted May 13, 2022 #16 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I bought 300 shares each of CCL and NCLH in 2020. When they recovered to the point that I could sell 200 shares and recoup my entire investment, I sold. Now, I'm sitting on 100 shares of each at no cost and get OBC. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneyGuy Posted May 14, 2022 #17 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I bought my shares just before our last cruise several weeks ago. I’m a sophisticated investor (former pro) and don’t much care what happens to the price. Up, great; down, it’s a long-term hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat04 Posted May 14, 2022 #18 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Heck we bought at $21 many many many moons ago and have reaped far more than the initial investment in OBC "dividends". Good investment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted May 14, 2022 #19 Share Posted May 14, 2022 A tip for those looking to buy 100 shares of CCL to get the shareholder credit. If possible, buy them in a joint account, that way if only one of you go on a cruise you can still get the credit. Otherwise the person who is on the stock account (like an IRA, etc.) is the only one who can get it. Limit one credit per cabin of course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a pro, but if unless you sell, you won't have to book a loss, just like you're saying. However, the same holds true for theoretical gains. If you don't sell, there's no profit. IMHO, it's best to hold cash for the time being and DCA in the current (and probably coming) bear market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking right now is to DCA a few more over the coming months. My banker warned me not to buy in April 2020 as he thought that bankruptcy was a possibility. At that time, it was $8. It has since gone to $30 and come back down to $13.5. It could go down a little further, but I don't expect it to go below the previous low at $8 since a similar level of restrictions as back in April 2020 is highly unlikely. IMHO the time to start DCAing CCL is in the coming weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five. Posted May 20, 2022 #25 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I emailed last Friday and got confirmation last night that it was accepted, this is for a booking that goes out next week, in case you were wondering the time that it takes to get it processed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
