How to Buy Royal Caribbean Stock

Open a stock brokerage account if you do not already have one. Your bank may offer brokerage services, or you can visit the local office of a full-service brokerage firm. As an alternative, online discount brokers let you buy and sell shares through an online account access. Online commissions range from $5 to $10 each time you buy or sell. Commission rates for a live broker will be significantly higher, but the broker will handle all of the required paperwork.
Transfer some money into your brokerage account. Account funding minimums range from zero to several thousand dollars. You can send in money by check, wire transfer or set up Automated Clearing House payments. ACH transfers take a couple of days to clear, but cost nothing. Once they are set up, you can move money in either direction.
Look up the Royal Caribbean share price. Use the RCL stock symbol to find the current price using either your online account screen or one of the major financial websites.
Determine how many shares you would like to buy. In most cases, you can only purchase whole shares, one or greater. Multiply the number of shares times the share price plus the commission rate to get the total cost. For example, in July 2014, RCL was trading at about $60 per share. With a $10 commission, 15 shares would cost $910 and 200 shares would be $12,010.
Submit a buy order for the number of shares you want using either the online trading screen of your discount brokerage account or by calling your broker and telling her to buy the shares for you.
Verify with your broker or online that the shares have been purchased and at what share price. It only takes a few seconds to complete a stock purchase. However, the share price fluctuates constantly throughout the market hours, so your actual purchase price may be a little higher or lower than the price shown online before you placed the order.

Sign up for a free account through an online brokerage firm such as Etrade.com or Scottrade.com. These companies will allow you to manage your own stock portfolio, all while charging a minimum payment per trade. You can sign up by connecting to the site and clicking 'Open an Account.' Follow the prompts to complete the setup.
Attach a bank account to your online brokerage account. You will need to do this so you can transfer money into the account and purchase stock. Typically when you are creating your account, you will be asked for your banking information, which consists of your routing number and account number. The site is secure, so the chances of someone stealing your information from this are slim to none.
Transfer money into the account. This may take one or two business days before it appears in your available funds. The money will not be transferred until the online brokerage company knows the money is actually there.
Log into your online brokerage firm account and type the code 'AAPL' into the ticker search. This will pull up the real time trading price of Apple stock.
Press the button 'Buy' and you will be taken to a new page. From here you will need to select either the amount of stocks you would like to buy, or the amount of money you would like to spend on the stock. Submit the information and agree to the trade. The offer will now be sent and in a moment or two you will be informed about whether your trade was accepted or not. If it was, then you will now be the proud owner of Apple stock purchased online.
