greeneg Posted September 15, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2005 OK by me. I think that it's been a pretty good investment, particularly when you consider the on-board shareholder credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFT_LOVER Posted September 15, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted September 15, 2005 and that is a poor dividend compared to under 5 nts on a RCL or "X" cruise for $50 up to $250 for over 12 nights. Times that by how many cruises you take in a 5 year period & you could be paying for the long hold stock purchase. Now if they ever have per person stock holds for double credits - LOOK OUT!

CaroleSP Posted September 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2005 With that increased dividend, guess I'm going shopping after work for another outfit to wear on my next cruise. A very, very little outfit; maybe just some sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
