zebra36 Posted June 1, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Now if they would only adjust that for inflation, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rburns44 Posted June 1, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Do you know what they count for a cruisetour? Have a cruisetour to Alaska booked next year. Cruise is 7 days but 4 day landtour before it. Do they count just the cruise part? I imagine they do but wondered if maybe they do count land part also?? Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffles2 Posted June 1, 2007 Author #9 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It states that onboard credit is valid for any cruise vacation on RCI or Celebrity Cruises (excludes any sailings on Celebrity Xpedition (Galapagos) and any sailings offered under the Celebrity Expeditions program). Additional terms and conditions apply. The question is: is a cruise and land tour a "cruise vacation"? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional terms and conditions apply. The question is: is a cruise and land tour a "cruise vacation"? I don't know. I booked an alaska cruise tour for June 2008. When i emailed RCL proof of ownership of my RCL stock i asked if i got the shareholder onboard credit for both the land portion and the ship portion. They wrote back saying that the credit only applied to the cruise portion. I wondered at the time if i got an additional credit for the 6 day land portion and was informed i only got $100 for the cruise portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negc Posted June 1, 2007 #13 Share Posted June 1, 2007 So are you saying the the Shareholder Credit is going to be taken away on May 1, 2008 or what is going on because i love the extra OBC to spend? Please inform me with whats going on!!! Relax. Nothing is "going on". :) The credit is renewed annually and it is highly unlikely that they would ever eliminate it. It is a win-win situation for everyone concerned especially the cruiseline. For shareholders it is an added benefit for owning the stock, and for the cruiseline, it is a minimal cost which is more than offset by the amount that stockholders pay to book each cruise not to mention, the money they spend while onboard. Why would they even consider eliminating it?:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstpshe Posted June 1, 2007 #14 Share Posted June 1, 2007 What are the shares going for now? Should I invest now or wait? Thanks, CJ :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmshirl Posted June 1, 2007 #15 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Right now they are at $43.70 a share. I would wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINIDRVR Posted June 1, 2007 #16 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Is the OBC available only once a year? or can you use it for other cruises you book during a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ladies Posted June 1, 2007 #17 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Each and every cruise on RCCL or Celebrity. If you cruise a lot, it is a great investment!! As long as the shares don't plummet:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINIDRVR Posted June 1, 2007 #18 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Sounds like a good deal, we'll keep an eye on the stocks and look at them closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted June 1, 2007 #19 Share Posted June 1, 2007 What are the shares going for now? Should I invest now or wait? Thanks, CJ :) :) Hard to say. In recent years it has dropped into the $30 range and has risen to approximately $50. If you believe that the stock will drop in value in the near future, maybe it is advisable to wait. Then again,if you believe that it will continue its current trend of rising in price, it may be a long time before you will find it available at a lower price. In the meantime, you could get some OBCs for future cruises. Get a prospectus, read it carefully and then decide what is best for you.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagia Posted June 3, 2007 #20 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Does anyone have a link to the FAQ on the shareholder benefit? I've tried searching the RCCL site, but I'm coming up empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAMPDDS Posted June 3, 2007 #21 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Is there a minimal amount of shares you must own in order to get the OBC ? Hypothetically, couldn't one buy just ONE share and receive the OBC ($150?) ? David:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelady Posted June 3, 2007 #22 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I purchased mine 5/9/07 @ 41.57. I've been tracking the stock since last Sept. and got serious about it 4/17, it has been between 41.01 -42.46 till the time I purchased 4/30 it was 42.46 and 5/3 dropped to 41.30. It's anyone's guess. I felt I'm not waiting around take your chance and now i'll be able to get the credit on an Oct. cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
