Thanks for sharing this info. We're cruising next week, so this will be "spent" back to CCL before it even arrives:p. m--

So we will get .75 cents per share? Not sure I am reading your post right?

Correct (actually 75 cents, not .75 cents). 25 cents to be paid 12/14 and 50 cents to be paid 12/28.

 

Here is the announcement

That, plus my OBC, brings my total 2012 return on my original investment to 25.83%. Not too shabby. :)

Cruise alot and the OBC makes some impressive returns

[KruzPrincess]

Good news. One of my best investments!

[Esprit]

Great news. So glad I agreed to the reinvestment plan for previous dividend payments.

Even better when the Shareholder Benefit is a tax free kinda dividend.

Hi All

 

Think I will write a letter complaining givening away all the profits,

 

should be increase crew wages instead.

Thank you for the good news! Will we recieve this as a check or is it added to your shares account? I am soooo not familiar with this, but thanks to you and a few other CC membres, I do own shares and enjoyed my first OBC last winter :):). I took my FCC 101 class on CC and my CCLshares 101 , so now I have OBC cause I know the ABC of it all, well almost. Also, were we supposed to get something last December, I know I didn't ?

Thank you, perfect timing , made final payment today on next cruise:).

[azbirdmom]

That's a nice surprise. I hadn't seen the announcement so I appreciate that you shared the info.

Whatever you have been doing with the regular dividend will occur with the special dividend.

 

If you have been re-investing the regular dividend, then the special dividend will get re-invested.

 

If you have been getting a check for the regular dividend, you will get a check for the special dividend.

You're assuming I'm in the 15% bracket.

The special dividend will be paid the same way as the regular dividend. Most common choices would be either dividend reinvestment (buy more shares), cash to your account or a check

Ah! Ah! Mystery solved... I must have the re-invest thing... I will look into it. Thank you professors Paul929207 and Caribill Guess I needed the CCL shares 201 lesson also ;)
