Cruising almost for free!

I love cruising and I always try to get a good deal when we purchase cruise.
I heard how some people keep getting super low prices after they cruise for a while and finally it happened to me!
This week I finally got an awesome offer from Carnival.
I could get it even better but by the time I reacted prices went up a little.
I checked my promotional email from Carnival and they offered me $75 per person for 4 days cruise.
Well, when it turned out to be $125 per person, which is still pretty awesome, plus we got $100 room credit.
On top of this earlier this month my AMEX offered me $75 credit if I spend $350 at Carnival, which I did.
I am also going to use my mail for casino promotion, which is $50 toward casino playing.
So here is my math for almost free cruise
$381 - total with taxes for interior room for me and my daughter
+$111 - gratuities
-$100 room credit
-$75 AMEX offer
-$50 casino offer
$267 for two of us or $133 per person! for 4 days of fun and relaxation!

I hope these deals keep coming my way. Plus I should have 100 shares of Carnival next time I am cruising, which will give me a room credit every time I cruise. Here more info

Stock I bought last Friday 4/22

I posted my Watch List for last week and from 4 stocks I had on my list I picked CCL - Carnival Corporation.

Business Summary from Yahoo 
Carnival Corporation operates as a leisure travel and cruise company in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. It offers cruises under the Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, and Seabourn brands in North America; and Costa, AIDA, P&O Cruises (UK), Cunard, and P&O Cruises (Australia) brands in Europe, Australia, and Asia. The company operates 99 cruise ships. It also owns Holland America Princess Alaska Tours, a tour company in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon, which owns and operates 11 hotels or lodges, approximately 300 motor coaches, and 20 glass-domed railcars. In addition, the company is involved in the leasing of cruise ships. It sells its cruises primarily through travel agents and tour operators. Carnival Corporation was incorporated in 1972 and is headquartered in Miami, Florida. Carnival Corporation operates as a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & Plc.

CCL - Carnival Corporation yields only 2.89% but for more than 15 years and this is a well known company.

I like the fact that at this moment this stock is trading below analyst predictions.

I also was going to buy RGR, but on Friday this stock went up by 2 dollars.
