25/9/2017 07:38	PierreWhen I bought CCL I timed it using charts and that was a perfect time. I usually buy shares according to charts unfortunately not so with CCL this time.	kirtonender9	Read Full Thread Reply
21/9/2017 08:22	Yeah, charting works fantastically in retrospect.More likely for the drop are the rising pound and the terribly devastating hurricanes. I hope any of our ships in the area are helping out in some way.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply
21/9/2017 07:53	I use charts and there was a clear signal on 31 Aug that the shares had seen the highs. Should hv shorted 100 on spreadbets which at the time would have been a fairly low risk trade.	kirtonender9	Read Full Thread Reply
19/9/2017 09:47	Seems to have taken a bit of a dive recently, is that on the pound rising ?	losos	Read Full Thread Reply
16/8/2017 13:18	I made a non researched buy of 100 for 33 on 1 jun, then a researched buy for a lot more in dec for 40. Unfortunately, sold all but 100 in may for 49. Oh well.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply

18/7/2017 15:27	If anyone's interested in fcds - i've just booked with cunard using one for me and one for the wife, and the benefit is $600 on board credit. Although a powerful incentive, the agent thinks (but wasn't certain), that cunard are also withdrawing them.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply
02/7/2017 19:57	Just read that p&o are stopping future cruise deposits. Seems mad to me - for a fifty/hundred quid obc, p&o get to sell another cruise. The few times I've been with p&o recently I've always bought a fcd, hence getting my custom for another cruise. Of course, a hundred quid obc costs p&o much less than £100 - probably in reality a cost to the company of £5/£20. Can't see any logic at all in withdrawing fcds, they seem brilliant and inexpensive marketing and salesmanship to me.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply
02/6/2017 22:20	Pierre. They have been upgraded today with a price target of 5700.Wish I had bought 200 shares instead of the minimum 100 for the on board spend. If they continue riding there may well be a share split and if the SharePerk remains at 100 shares will give opportunity to take some profits and still keep the perk.	kirtonender9	Read Full Thread Reply
02/6/2017 12:22	kirton, yes you're right. As i say, i can't remember where i got my buyback info from. Shame i wasn't more wrong and thought the buyback was still on going, i probably wouldn't have sold. What a great rise. Are these a bid target or something? Someone must be buying a lot of them, every day. Cruises are certainly more costly at the moment than previously, looks like they are getting filled up, even though there are a few new mega ships entering service.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply
02/6/2017 11:35	Wow I really did get out of these too early ; impressive rise. I thought I had done well to get out at £40 .	wad collector	Read Full Thread Reply
26/5/2017 18:21	Pierre I thought the share buybacks had already stopped. The last one was on 13 April and prior to that date they were every day since...... A long time previously!	kirtonender9	Read Full Thread Reply
26/5/2017 14:43	After i bought the initial 100 to get the benefits, i looked into the company more, and then bought a load more at around £36. The rise since then has been great, so i just got rid of most of them leaving just 100 again. Been a great ride, helped no doubt by the enormous share buybacks. My diary tells me the buybacks are stopping soon (don't know where i got that info), so it looks a decent time for me to take the profit. I bought tate earlier today, so it's a switch into those, i think i get double or more yield.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply
19/5/2017 11:07	Hi Pierre Good to see that you are field testing the company's products. I have found Cunard better than P&O so sure you will enjoy. Regretting buying only the minimum amount of shares to get the cruise credit as the price has gone up 30% since	johnroger	Read Full Thread Reply
11/4/2017 09:31	now at Southampton waiting to disembark the carribean music cruise. it's been really fantastic cruising with world class musicians performing almost every night. p&o have this worked out very well. paid two more future cruise deposits, one for p&o the other for cunard to give them a try. its good to confirm ccl provides an excellent product.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply
28/3/2017 16:40	Cruise ship operator Carnival reported better than expected revenue yields for the first quarter and said bookings for the rest of 2017 were well ahead of the prior year with prices rising faster than costs. Driven by increased demand, particularly for Caribbean jaunts, For the first quarter ended 28 February, the London- and New York-listed group posted adjusted net income of $279m and earnings per share of $0.38, which was down 7% and 3% on a very strong equivalent period last year. Statutory results, which include a positive $73m of unrealised gains and losses on fuel derivatives and other items in 2017 and $159m of losses for 2016, saw net income increase almost 150% to $352m and EPS up 167% to $0.48. Quarterly net revenue yields in constant currency increased 3.8% compared to Q1 in the prior year, well up on December's 1.5-2.5% guidance range. On the outlook for the year, management said cumulative advance bookings for the remainder of 2017 were "well ahead of the prior year at considerably higher prices". For the full year, net revenue yields in constant currency are expected to be up approximately 3.0% compared to the prior year. In parallel, excluding fuel, net costs per available lower berth day in constant currency are expected to be up approximately 1.0% compared to the prior year. Therefore, full year adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $3.50-3.70, compared to $3.45 last year. Though in the second quarter, adjusted EPS is expected to fall to a range of $0.43-0.47, compared to $0.49 last year due to unfavourable changes in fuel prices and currency exchange rates. "We are off to a good start delivering another quarter of operational improvement on top of a very strong first quarter last year," said chief executive Arnold Donald. "Our performance was driven by increased demand, particularly for our core Caribbean itineraries, leading to higher year-over-year ticket prices which enabled us to overcome the significant negative impact of both fuel and currency to exceed the high end of our guidance range." He said there was less inventory remaining for sale in 2017 compared to the prior year, resulting in increased earnings guidance. "We are clearly benefiting from our efforts to increase cruise consideration through guest experience innovations, creative marketing, and public relations programs. We are reaching consumers through multiple touch points and laying the foundation for continued earnings improvement and sustained double digit returns on invested capital," he said.	broadwood	Read Full Thread Reply
28/3/2017 15:21	Company has just announced bookings are up. We might just join them.	broadwood	Read Full Thread Reply
02/3/2017 09:39	Well the share price is continuing it's substantial general rise. The buybacks help of course. If the price of my next cruise is anything to go by then prices are hardening too. From my early booking offer, the price on a late booking is up 30% from the same source, plus I got free parking which isn't now being offered. If that is general, then we can expect bumper profit increases next results time. I'm not sure what net effect the weak pound has.	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply

10/1/2017 21:10	Well Carnival holds some pretty upmarket brands don't they? Isn't Seabourn in that exact same sector? Surely they, and other brands, must pick up some of those who've lost a cruise i should imagine. Fred Olson seem to think they can tempt some with a 25% discount (maybe Carnival should match that).	pierre oreilly	Read Full Thread Reply
10/1/2017 19:00	Out too early ; ah well , sell and no regrets....	wad collector	Read Full Thread Reply
10/1/2017 17:29	Egypt, Middle East and Turkey etc have become less popular - or even off the schedules. Their prime market was people wishing to delve into "antiquities". Doubt if Carnival brands will benefit much from their demise (or its sister brand, Voyages of Discovery) as the client profile is quite different - upmarket, sophisticated travellers looking for all-inclusive professionally-led tours etc.	grahamburn	Read Full Thread Reply
