I am off topic, but a few other things on this thread are so...:rolleyes:

 

Mike, we met on the Enchantment in September...

 

Have a great Canal cruise! Good luck in the casino!

 

ENJOY!

 

BILL

 

 

Bill I certainly remember. TY very much and have a wonderful Easter.

I have to add to the highly entertaining argument over the stocks...perhaps you all are forgetting one thing...you have only LOST the money (as one poster above said someone isn't concerned with losing $1K and "gaining" $100 OBC) until you SELL it. Goodness knows that I have been tempted over the last few years to sell that miserable mutual fund that my "hack" broker sold me on but I held out - and it is recovering SLOWLY. (Then I will sell it and happily invest in something "safe" like horse racing stocks - ha ha). So - I say only invest if you are in for the long haul and are interested in seeing both an immediate return (dividends and OBC) and a future investment (in actual stock gains).

 

Okay - that was more than one comment! Sorry;)

That is one of the biggest fallacies in investing. If you have $1,000 worth of casino chips and lose $900 worth at Blackjack, you have lost $900. Even if you don't cash out and hope you can turn your remaining $100 chips back into a profit or at least break-even you still have lost $900. Same with investing. If your stock goes down 50%, you are down 50% whether you sell or not. Yeah, you might make the money back if you hold on, but you may lose even more, your stock may go to zero, or you may be missing out in a more promising use of your money due to stubbornly holding onto a beaten down stock. When a stock goes down, you have to decide if it is down for a good reason and also deduce how promising the future is for that company. Individual stocks should never be bought purely for the "long term" as you never know what factors may arise after you make the purchase that make the stock less attractive. Individual stocks are very dynamic and the merit of maintaining them in your profile needs to be frequently reassessed.

I say take the money and invest it in a cruise, who cares about the OBC.;) By the way CCL changed their policy Feb. 1st...it is combinable.

So far this year for me booking with RCI only 1 cruise out of 4 was combinable ...2 were WOW'S and another was a limited time offer.

So I think it all depends how you book.........not a stock owner yet but will be soon, but not for OBC, but because I like the product.

Great time to buy.

I'm disagree unless you are buying thousands of shares and it goes up. It hasn't moved much in the past year. Here is the one year chart.

RCCL says in the fine print that "only one credit per shareholder on any one sailing."

 

My wife and I usually sail together, and stay in the same stateroom. Together (jointly) we own 100 shares of RCCL.

 

On our next trip, my wife is bringing her mother and sharing a stateroom with her. I'm in another stateroom.

 

Does anyone have any actual experience that my wife could get a credit, and I could too? Each shareholder would get a credit. (But we don't each own 100 shares.)

 

Thanks.

Together (jointly) we own 100 shares of RCCL, then you get one credit. That is all you have. If you both owned 100 shares, (not jointly), then you could each get a credit.

I would also like to know the answer to this. I would think that you would each get 1/2 of the credit. Say it is a 7 night which you should get $100.00 OBC they would give each of you $50.00 OBC. Anyone know how this works????????

[CruznTom]

Only one shareholder credit @ 100 shares. There is no such thing as 1/2 credit.

[johno95]

let me clarify my question. are you giving your opinion per mere logic? or are you stating the answer because you had a similar situation, and RCL only allowed one credit? or perhaps you are a TA, and have a working insight into this?

 

the rules state:

 

1. Only one shareholder credit per stateroom. (we would only use one per stateroom.)

 

2. Only one credit per shareholder on any one sailing. (What does "shareholder" mean?) Our 100 shares are in both names. My wife only wants one credit for one stateroom. Same with me.

RCCL didn't take the time to define the word "shareholder." Are we together considered a one shareholder, or separately considered 2 shareholders?

 

Again, please back up your answer.

 

It all comes down to, what is a shareholder?

If you have 100 shares and your wife has 100 shares then if you book two cabins then you will each get the OBC. If you jointly hold 100 shares and you pull it off... then congratulations you have worked the system.

You might want to call CNN or your Lawyer.

 

I have 100 shares and my husband has 100 seperate shares.

 

We have never received 2 OBC's for any cruise we shared in the same cabin. We have received obc for 2 seperate staterooms, one he was booked in and one I was booked in. Did we both sleep in those cabin's? NO! If we take family along, we will always book as above, to get the stock benefit for each cabin.

 

As for shareholder, it is the owner of the stock. If 2 people jointly own 100 shares ( each is an owner and the item is divided by the 2 people) , you each own 50 shares! You need 100 shares, it can only be used once on any sailing. So if you put your 50 and her 50 together (since you are both SHAREHOLDERS ), you will receive the OBC of ONE SHAREHOLDER.
