smvthecpa Posted June 20, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Does anybody know the benefits of owning RCCL stock? I'm leaving July 29 from Dover on the Constellation. Right now I don't own any RCCL stock. If I buy 50 shares of RCCL what benefit can I get? how do I get it? Who do I call? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballwin Babe Posted July 1, 2006 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2006 The pdf from RCL reflects a past deadline for cruise booking with respect to the shareholder credit benefit. Has the date been officially extended anywhere in writing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted July 1, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I have not seen it in writing but the deadline gets extended every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micruiser2002 Posted July 1, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2006 If you go to the Royal Caribbean website and at the bottom left click on the Our Company link, then click Investor Relations link a new page will open. On this page click the Shareholder Benefit dropdown and select Shareholder Discount link. A new page opens with the current date information.

TEXASMUNK Posted July 1, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2006 If you are fortunately enough to take two 10 cruises a year, that converts to a $400 credit. This credit is equal to approx. an 8 or 9% dividend on your stock cost. This does not include the annual dividend. This, is a pretty good deal!!!! You couldn't get my RCI stock away from us!!!!!

BratDet Posted July 1, 2006 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I had received my confirmation e-mail my 100$ credit was applied...but when we used the onboard system on the TV , it was not showing. So...when we were at guest relations, she checked and explained since we had not bought anything yet- it will not show. We were on the Master List print out she had of people receiving shipboard credits. It gets posted as soon as a charge...gift shop, bar, bingo...etc. gets posted to your SeaPass account. Sure enough....we got our 100$.....credit. Bernadette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAKER Posted July 2, 2006 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2006 According to the RCCL website, the shareholder credit program is scheduled to expire 5/1/2007. So be careful and figure this into your decision. Also, check with your broker for his investment analysis. If the price drops $2/share, you would break-even on a 10-day+ cruise credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the standard date. It gets renewed every year at the stockholder's meeting. But I take about seven 12- to 14-day cruises a year. Celebrity has already paid for my stock.

rubrrick Posted July 2, 2006 #11 Share Posted July 2, 2006 With a total of 8 cruises this year, some yet to come, give me a total dividend (cruise credits) of $950.00. That's close to a 24% return on my investment. Makes me smile everytime I cruise!!:) Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form always says May 1 "200X", and has been extended each year. Of course, there is no commitment beyond 5/1/07. Beyond that date, we will have to wait and see.

idssms Posted July 2, 2006 #13 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Folks,, heres the real deal!! Buy the 100 shs of RCL Take a cruise and book (4) 14 day cruises,, give them $900 for each and get back $200 when you sail for each cruise. Think of it,, its like money in the bank, I give X $900 (Deposit per cabin) and they give me an additional $200 cabin credit which is like cash. Thats a 22% return on your money. Its like ,, give me $900 and I ll give you back $1100... A great deal to me. Negotiate with your faithful, trusty and loyal TA and save another X % In summary: $250 owner loyalty credit (14 days or more) $200 Booking credit X % cabin credit You can save $100's if you cruise a lot on the same line. I have been doing this for years now and it pays off. Ex. Did a Zenith 14 day once out of JAX... CC category,, was about $900 each, less Cabin Credit from agent, $250 stock loyalty and $200 Booking.. It came to $580 pp for 14 nights. A common sense approach will make those hard earned inflated dollars S T R E T C H... Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
