Popular doesn't equal smart.  To quote Bogle "Nobody knows nothing."  That includes when a stock is "low" or "high."  Nobody knows more than the rest of the market (other than insiders, and they risk going to jail.)  I offer my wisdom only for the benefit of the casual readers/investors who might start to think that buying more than 100 shares of NCL stock is "smart."  Just buy the 100 shares that pays a $100 tax free dividend on every cruise and enjoy your cruise.😎  That's what this thread is all about!

Thank you for enlightening me and the entire cc community.

No problem.  I don't even charge a fee. 😁

When tomorrow’s Freestyle Daily comes out, let’s see if “Naked Art Auction” is one of the daily activities…

LOL.  I'm certain that you meant to post this in the NCL Prima thread sister. 😁  That thread is dealing with issues of a whole lot more importance to cruisers than this one.  😎

[YVRteacher]

I did!  I posted in the wrong forum.  Oops.

Just posting this "data point" as a heads up. I submitted the shareholder benefit request the other day and promptly received the approval email and then an updated amenity confirmation. BUT... they only credited $100 OBC and it should be $250 since our next cruise is 16 days. Sent a follow-up email.

 

So... if you are submitting for a longer cruise, be sure to verify the dollar amount 🙂

I just jumped in and bought 100 shares at $17.20 today.

The only reason is for the OBC shareholder benefit, I have 3 cruises booked with NCL now and probably some others in the future. One of my booking is for may 2024. Can i already submit the request for next year ?

Absolutely.  Any future booked cruise.

FWIW, all the cruise line stocks are up really good today.

NCL is up $1.38 today.

Carnival and RCCI are up well too.

Yep.  I'm now two hundred bucks in the black on my sixteen hundred dollar gamble.  If I didn't plan to use the NCL OBC benefit indefinitely, I would sell immediately!🤣

 

Actually, if you count the three times I've used the $100 OBC, I guess I'm up $500 (with more to come later this year!).  I love the NCLH shareholder free money. 😎

I just broke even price wise but I'm up four shareholder benefits.

No doubt. When I first heard about it, I snapped it up at $13.25. Never expected to get anything out of it but the credits. Looking pretty sweet for the moment.

Yeah, I was asleep at the wheel for too long.  If I had acted when cruising resumed (and the stock was still in the toilet) I would have saved even more.  I think there were three post-Covid cruises where I could have benefitted but didn't.  Oh well, better late than never.

Yes, you are getting paid exactly what you deserve.

[Pub]

I'm feeling fortunate.

 

Bought 100 shares a month ago @ ~$14/share.  Waited for a statement cycle, then sent in for benefit on a November 14+ day cruise in early June.  Confirmed 3 days later ($250).

 

Sold the stock yesterday @ $19+/share.  $500 profit.

Why did you sell it?  Are you done sailing NCL?

Took the profit.  If I'm wrong on continued growth, I still made a 37% return on a six week investment.  Not including the $250 OBC.

Good for you!

I bought 200 shares last September for around 11.50 and just sold 100 @ 19.50. Almost 70% gain and I've got my $100 obc in 32 days for my Joy sailing.

I'll keep the other 100 shares for future cruises.

I sent my request to ShareholderBenefit@ncl.com on Tuesday afternoon.  Just got my reply and new amenity confirmation (Thursday afternoon).  Look at your booking in your account and see if it is showing the OBC.
