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.

The lowest stock price was $22/share in 2020. The highest was $133. Average is $66.  200 shares would have been between $4400 & $13200 minimum. To recoup that you would have had to have done  between 44 and 132 cruises between then and now.  Congratulations.

Or less with 14+ night cruises ($250 OBC).

We bought at $16 back in 2008, and then it went down to $5.  Wife said let's buy more, but what does she know? 🤪

Just numbers to us, does it really matter? Pretty sure none of what they are doing is really worth what they are getting paid for.

You got 50+ free beers and cocktails using just your $100 shareholder OBC? That’s the way it reads. If so, no need for a drink package. Or is this the 50+ drinks talking?

 

Can't help how you read it.

And like me you probably got that $100 obc x many cruises. For me let's say 13 cruises or more so lets say $1300. .. I'm probably down but the obc makes up for the stock up and downs. Hopefully someday it will turn a profit again. 

 

Now that the UWC is available as 1 mini segments, some folks booking it that way and are expecting 17 OBC's totalling around $3500

 

I'm kinda expecting them to limit the total to $1000. Who knows

Thank you.  For once, someone who is willing to admit they are losing money on a stock trade.  Most of the time it's boast and brag on this board.

It was more of a reference to your overall disdain to a product you no longer find valuable

I have been unsuccessful getting the Shareholders OBC in several past tries.  I got the message that my booking included a $50/cabin OBC and that I am not entitled to an additional amount because of my stock ownership.  Is this a common problem or is there something I'm missing?

I have sent them OBC request several times since buying stock back in 2020. Responses have ranged from none at all to a confirmation a few hour later and everything in between. I don't get casino offers, all of my cruises are booked at market rate or with discounts offered to everyone. If the discounts or group related OBC are the reason for not getting the shareholder OBC I could understand that, I just wish they would do a better job with communication. Sending a request and hearing crickets chirp gets annoying.

We have been on 30+ cruises since we purchased stock and I have never had any problem with my OBC.  Many of the cruises were booked onboard with additional OBC.

I am sorry that this has happened to you.  I have never had any issues regardless of how it was booked or any additional OBC.

The policy used to be that the shareholder's OBC was not combinable with other discounts or OBC offers. Royal Caribbean changed that policy in 2018(?) so that the shareholder's OBC is now combinable with other discounts. I don't know why you have been unsuccessful unless it was before the policy was changed.

Or this could be another announced but still painful cut back by Royal.

I don’t think so.  I have OBC until 2-25.

Share price pop of $3+ per share.  J P Morgan set a price target of $94 per share.  Hooray for us investors, at least for today.😄

I have OBC for my October, '24 Symphony sail and a few early '25 of both  shareholder's and on board booking OBCs.  Simply can't beat it, plus I have a $50 OBC for their screw up on the so called "package".🤣
