STOCK UP ON STOCK Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 The price is right! Buy both of their stocks now! CUK & CCL Both! Get ready to cruise their ship voyages and make money too!! Invest invest invest.... 😊 1 1 Quote
FJB Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Hmmm - been watching all the cruise stocks for the last 2 Years but still not convinced it’s time to pull the trigger. I think consolidation is still on the horizon. Especially with a recession. Quote
Blue Shirt Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Well you are either a huge fan of Carnival or maybe you are really a member of Carnivals financial team, what with your user name & the heading all in CAPITALS 🤣😁 😊 anyway here's my reply Looked at Motley Fool on " Should you invest $1000 in Carnival right now ? " and they seem to think that if you are uncomfortable with risk then you may be better off watching this investment.If you are an aggressive investor you may want to take advantage of Carnivals price today. Their award winning analyst team also revealed what the 10 best stocks were and Carnival wasn't one of them. However this was info from last month so things may have changed but I saw something yesterday that suggests Carnival may be overvalued. As regarding cruising with Carnival, I have enjoyed all of the cruises I've been on with them and hopefully cruise with them some more ( but I do also go on other cruise lines ) 1 Quote
DeanneB Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 Hmmn, interesting tidbits on Carnival stocks. They say to never catch a falling knife, does this apply to Carnival Stocks? Quote
kefthecruiser Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 Is it a falling knife or a fallen knife? Look at the 1 year chart. Looks like a fallen knife to me. Is it the time to buy? What's your appetite risk, this market is big on volatility and will be for awhile due to world conditions. Full disclosure - CCL is one of my holdings and I recently added more @ 6.60. I am not providing financial advice 1 Quote
DeanneB Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 I agree with the volatility part. I thought I was holding my position with good timing but alas, it went down even more. Quote

kefthecruiser Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 You need to open a brokerage account at a financial institution, fund the account, and then place the order. Please do more research (on any stock) over and above what is in this thread, before you buy. 1 Quote
DeanneB Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I agree, do your due diligence. This thread is for discussion only and not to encourage you to buy. Quote
FJB Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 When this thread was started on Oct 19th, CCL was trading just below $8. Even with today’s 14% drop, it’s still trading above Oct 19th so yeah your investment has made some money! https://www.cruisehive.com/carnival-stock-takes-a-dive-whats-going-on/87929 Quote
Kendall James-Vargas Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 @STOCK UP ON STOCK You got my wheels spinning. I may need to follow Carnival's stock more closely. Quote
KristineF Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 It looks like if you are to buy stocks, you will have to hold it for a very long time. They say that the coming months is going to be bumpy. 1 Quote
3Sisters Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 @KristineF I would say the market is certainly unstable right now. All of my other stocks have totally depreciated. I won't be selling any time soon. Quote
Danielle Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Remember that if you are a carnival shareholder of 100 shares or more, you get $50 OBC per cruise of 6 days or less or $100 if 7 days or longer. Buying the stock this cheap can pay for itself. I bought it for WAY more, a long time ago. 1 Quote
3Sisters Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 @Danielle That is a great tip! I just looked the cost of Carnival Corporation's stock and it's very low. I just learned so much from this article. https://www.cruisehive.com/carnival-cruise-line-stock-benefits-and-tips/42134 I think I may actually invest in some. Quote

Buying the stock this cheap can pay for itself. I bought it for WAY more, a long time ago. We bought 100 shares just prior to our TA cruise on the Carnival Celebration last November, 14 days from Southampton to Miami. Cost was around $700 at the very low stock price of the time. We received, after submitting our request about 3 weeks prior, a $250 OBC for the cabin. So, in essence, thus far at that point we were only out-of-pocket net about $450. And, the stock is now worth as of Friday about $1,050 — another $350 profit gain. So, for us it was a no-brainer deal. We hope to use this again on the next upcoming cruise. Of course, stock is very volatile and risky, so who knows. But, definitely worth a consider. Quote
Kendall James-Vargas Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 @RoadTravelled This is very intriguing. In essence, I think this savings incentive strategy is well worth it! It was in the $7 range last week, and it's already in the $10 range now. I'm not sure if it will continue to go up, but I mentioned purchasing some of Carnival Corporation's stock to my husband because of how low it was! Quote
Cymbankey Posted November 14 Posted November 14 With everything going on in the economy, it’s worth thinking about how much risk you’re up for. Sometimes these big buys can pay off, but they can also be like catching that “falling knife” everyone talks about. 1 Quote
Kendall James-Vargas Posted November 14 Posted November 14 @Cymbankey Thanks for the tip! I agree you shouldn't invest in Carnival stock unless you can comfortably afford it. What's nice about the stock is the benefit is that can qualify for the shareholder benefit. That's a really nice incentive to purchasing the stock if you have the resources to do so. Have you invested in Carnival stock in the past? Quote
euroguy Posted November 16 Posted November 16 @RoadTravelled so im curious how this would work for me... i already get free balcony cruises, i simply have to pay port fees & taxes. Here's my question... if I'm already basically getting g free cruises and i have CCL stock would i also get the $250 OBC? That would be like that are paying g for me to cruise 😆 speaking of which I do have an ccl offer of for balcony with $1500 obc and the cruise costs me including port fees and taxes $1350. So would I also get the $250 obc from stocks on that? 🤔 1 Quote

Here's the link to the info about the program. Note the following language specifically. "Employees, travel agents cruising at travel agent rates or interline rates, tour conductors or anyone else cruising at a reduced-rate or on complimentary basis are excluded from this offer." But, hey, you are definitely getting the better deal for sure. But, it never hurts to ask, right? Quote
euroguy Posted November 17 Posted November 17 @RoadTravelled well figured I would ask... always looking for more leverage 😆 Thanks fir the answer 1 Quote
Cruising Caribbean Posted November 18 Posted November 18 @euroguy I'm pretty certain those offerings can't be combined. They are two different promotions. I believe @RoadTravelled is correct. You definitely get the better perks with the promotion you book through! Although, I'm surprised you aren't a stock holder. You are aa huge fan of CCL, and this is one of those stocks worth investing in when the time is right. Speaking of, when is your next CCL cruise @euroguy? Have you booked another out of LA? Quote
euroguy Posted November 19 Posted November 19 @Cruising Caribbean here are my upcoming trips dec 9 days land vaca Hawaii feb 2025 on Horizon for 8 days to aruba bonaire Caracau August 2025 8 day Panorama La Paz, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo Feb 2026 either 7 days Mardi Gras (orlando) or 7 Jubilee (Galveston) not sure which yet, but leaning towards Jubilee as I have not sailed out of Galveston nor on the Jubilee Quote
