We did the exact same thing and bought 200 shares at $21. When we explained the OBC to our financial advisor, he agreed it was a no brainer. We sail a lot and by the end of this year we will have earned more OBC then the stock cost.
I have 200 shares bought in March 2020 at $21. If I do sell shares, I will keep 100 for the OBC. I will earn enough stock OBC by the end of this year to cover the cost of the stock purchase.
I have my screen set up to show the date and time and I take a picture of it with my cell phone. I did get my 3 points from May, and I want to thank the person who posted the PUP offer. I never get the e-mails.
Back to back passengers are also waiting to get back on the ship. We have to stay in the terminal until there is a zero count on the ending cruise. 10:30am is the latest that I have been allowed back on.the ship.
I bought 200 shares in March 2020. On my next cruise later this month, I will have made more in stock OBC then the shares cost me. There have been zero dividends, but I am happy with the stock.
You may not get a new one. Ships have been told to exhaust the old supply before passing out the new ones. Just received an old style block on Odyssey.
I am glad that this site lets us know when a new PUP opportunity comes out. I used to get e-mails from Celebrity about PUPs, but it has been many months since I received one. Thank you.
