Having said that the impact of higher fuel prices may not play through in this quarters results.

That's some revolver. I'm guessing it's at a flexible interest rate so they can use it to buy back the high interest junk bonds. It's quite a vote of confidence from lenders. With interest rates falling it's a win win. I guess the balance is higher fuel prices which if sustained will eat into the ability to pay down the debt.

Interesting to hear Mate, not 1st clearly, get jettisoned, overbooked. You guys could ask, but I would suggest there are 20 or 40 or ?? no shows every 2,000 cruise for various reasons. So, if average is 40 you can easily oversell say 20 x £3,000 = £60k & v occasionally just repay on the odd occasion no shows are low. Free money. You know it makes sense.

Kindly report on how busy it is, thanks.

Also would be good to hear from people going to Celbration key later in the year.

Off on the celebrity ascent shortly Get the feeling there is a little bit more flexibility on price atm Very happy with this booking which is newest ship in the celebrity fleet and very well appointed as they say !!Will report back from the sharp end once on board

Mate just emailed us - they have been booted off their holiday on Aurora. Should have left today - got a phone call yesterday. It was overbooked. WTF? Not the way to treat their customers. But confirmation that it is sailing full. Compensation is a full refund plus 20% off their next cruise. Not great is it?

[smurfy2001] 05/6/2025 18:07:28

After looking at the trend charts my target is $30.

I trust Pierre et al will buy as many drinks packages to get us there.

[pierre oreilly] 04/6/2025 16:48:02

I expect better results due to 3 factors - the sailing with higher loading, higher fares and less interest on a lowering debt plus more efficient fleet,

The latest cunard boat is the queen ann. Compared to the Q Elizabeth it's 25% higher tonnage yet carries 43% more passengers, so packing em in more. Great for revenue, not sure for the long term passenger retention. Many, including me, won't go on the QA again (unless really cheap) - due to too many passengers. The queen's room for example get packed out with absolutely nowhere to sit, and that's even after lots of cheap plastic chairs have been brought in. Not Cunard style imv. Still it brings in lots of cash.

[ickleinvestments] 03/6/2025 16:52:49

I would expect results to follow the same trend as per the last 18 months but no idea what the market expects.

[smurfy2001] 02/6/2025 06:40:09

Expecting Q2 results later this month. Let’s see if they beat.

We will still have brekkie in the cabin on shore days rather than have the bun fight in the buffet or the long queue in the restaurant.

Not sure if it's much of a money spinner, but Carnival is rolling out no free room service after breakfast. Cuts down on waste and also staff - hope they get a bit more time off. Seen many trays outside cabins more than half full of food, so easy to ask for loads when ordering (for free). Great move, it's not too hard to get out of bed and wander down to the buffet or a restaurant. Still free for higher tiers or cabins, so another differentiator there.
