RCL stock tops $100

[emileg]

RCL must be doing something right, profiting from low oil prices, or both. Last check $100.54. Not to shabby from my initial investment when the stock was at $23.90.

WOW.....I remember at one time their stock was about 6.00 per share.

I bought it then just for the OBC that came with owning 100 shares (from memory) I sold it when it got back to arounr $45 and it paid for an entire cruise. I can't remember if it was my 09 Navigator cruise, or my '10 Majesty cruise, so it must have been around that time.

I am pretty happy about that! RCL is clearly doing something right - and heck, I like them! A coworker had recommended I look into their stock since I cruise with them so often and she mentioned the benefit of the "shareholders benefit". I liked having that as it frees me from being concerned about booking a cruise myself or using a TA. I can basically choose which benefit I want to take advantage of - so for that reason - the shareholder benefit has served me well. But even more important than that is that I just purchased this stock a few months ago and have a 41% return on investment!

 

I am one happy cruiser.

It means you have the option of selling for a profit if you so choose. That is somewhat better than having the option to sell at a loss.

I can't sell now, I bought 110 shares in 2008 at $8 per share. But now, there are many times i've been denied my shareholder OBC because RCI says I've already gotten a discount (D+ discount) for my balcony, or I booked my interior during a Going, going, gone sale, or BOGOH.

Why can't you sell now?

Do you think that people that buy stock don't know how it works?

You can answer that for yourself, I know the answer

Did you sell to get your 41% return? If not then it's 0

 

Or are you using your 41% to buy on margin

That was in March of 2009. I just happened to be on a Jewel of the Seas Panama Canal at the time and met some people who told me about the Stockholder benefit at the time, and told me I would make back my investment in no time with the current stock prices. It was below 6.00 when I was on the ship. In all the C&A events all they could talk about was how RCCL will survive this.

 

When I got off the boat I immediately bought 500 shares just to get some stockholder benefit. I sold half when it hit in the 40's and held onto the other half. The best stock pick I have ever had. I only wish all my stock picks went this well. LOL.

What with the world situation, I get the feeling that more people will cruise rather than going Abroad.....your stock will increase many times IMHO

Yes, they are decreasing quality, removing loyalty perks and raising prices.

Along with everything else that took a hit in 2008.

Leisure stocks took a bigger hit than other groups.

[cruisinpips]

Cut, cut, cut some more. Add more cabins, add pay dining venues, raise prices, advertise bogus sales and the masses will come! Including me!!

Wish we had bought at that price.

I wish I would have placed $50 on 12 when I was in the casino. :D

 

Pretty much the same thing. ;)
