hshowalter Posted July 18, 2014 #26 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I bought 500 shs. of RCCL stock for a little over $10.00 the first day the market opened after 9-11-01. several years later; not aware of any shareholder benefits I sold RCCL doubling my money.In 2006 I bought 100 shs. & increased it to 500 shs. I have saved over $4000. dollars in OBC &I am $12,000.00 ahead. I also own 700 shs. of Carnival & barely have a profit & have saved about $800.00 in OBC. I would be a buyer of Carnival at current prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted July 19, 2014 #27 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It has come in handy for us on Celebrity a couple of times....no balcony discounts there.We almost cruised on Eclipse a few years ago so if we do sail on Celebrity, I remember the Onboard Credit. Thanks for your post -- it reminded me of a benefit I would use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzerci Posted July 24, 2014 #34 Share Posted July 24, 2014 If I owned any substantial amount of RCL stock, today is the day I'd be looking to get out of it. I'm not big on leisure companies during times like this with a lot of world and economic uncertainty. Great returns this year, and a nice bump today, but I've made similar returns in more stable investments recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillRR Posted July 25, 2014 #38 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Say what you may, in one minute today the rise in RCL more than paid for my GS on Allure. Waiting for dividend next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted July 25, 2014 #39 Share Posted July 25, 2014 People will always take vacations no matter the economic times. . I suggest you look at history before making such claims. It seems you weren't looking at the market just a few years ago during the GFC otherwise you would have other thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted July 25, 2014 #40 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Anyone look at RCI's "beta" versus CCL's? As to the overall market, can anyone say "bubble". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be a buyer of Carnival at current prices. I bought 100 shares when the stock initially went public at around 16. Over time it went as low as 8, did I buy more, no. It then did a nice recovery into the 20's and I said if it ever went that low again I would buy. In early 2009 the stock went under 5 and I kept my promise and loaded up.

ORD1166 Posted July 25, 2014 #42 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I had 100 shares of RCL for the last 5 -10 years. I bought it when it was at $24 share. Never was able to get the OBC:(. So while looking at the price of stocks yesterday and I saw RCL at $61 a share:eek:!! I knew it was time to sell my 100 shares. So I did and made a nice little profet:rolleyes:. I will watch the price and see what happens and maybe buy some again when the price drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzin Carol Posted July 26, 2014 #46 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I use mine on Celebrity. They don't have a balcony discount so am able to always use it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted July 27, 2014 #47 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I bought my 100 shares in October 2001 ofter 9/11. It was at $10.84/share. I received enough OBC long ago to cover that $1100 investment. Now I just watch it go up and down and enjoy the OBC when I can use it and don't fret when I can't. It's a long term investment. I don't lose or make any money on it until I sell. The nice thing is, when I bought it, it was combinable. We would get on board booking OBC, our stock OBC, and our RCCL visa OBC. Maybe we are the reason they don't let us combine anymore I only wish I had bought the Royal stock years ago. DH and I were late to the buying party....when we bought it, we did not buy it for the OBC it can give us, we bought it so that it would hopefully increase in value and be a nice part of our retirement portfolio. So far it has done nicely for us, and although it isn't combinable with other discounts, and may only rarely give us a small OBC on a cruise, it still is a good investment. I agree with you -- it is a long term investment, not something I will fret over in the short run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
