It's just a normal activity for cruises, I'm not surprised they couldn't dock, I live in the area and the weather was appalling

Poor ccl is having to cope with lots of hassle these days. The Iona decided not to risk docking in Southampton last night due to the forecast weather. Although everyone was notified a couple of days ago, what a load of hassle for everyone - 4k on the cuuise getting back a day late, and 4k going on it a day later than expected, with carparks and hotels booked effectively for the wrong night. Logistics nightmare, on top of everything else.

Yes, I'd say that. We weren't expecting to get off at every port, so it was a bonus for us. Afaiui, things changed yesterday with many port restrictions imposed all over the place, so I think things can change by the hour. We're going to the canaries in Feb - just hope the cruise actually leaves. Again, if we can get off in the ports by ourselves then we'll treat it as a bonus. But for now, we don't expect to be getting off with this new variant. Doesn't overly bother me, i just like being on the boat.

So the advice to potential cruisers would appear to be; check what arrangements are in place for your cruise.

Rubbish - i went around spain and portugal 3 weeks ago on Iona and we got off at each port with no formalities and did our own thing with no excursion.

[ccnp] 26/11/2021 21:24

A bit of annecdotal news;

it seems that you can only disembark cruise ships in port if you pay the cruise line for one of their excursions. Heard this from a few people.

Its knocked any chance of us going on a cheap cruise clean out of the ground. Can't stand the cruise line excursions.

Very well thought out opinion, I see you have posted the same comments across all sorts of shares today, I'm happy to have taken a punt on this today will just sit tight, I've got the time.

The highly infectious Botswana COVID variant is spreading fast and the vaccine is less effective against it.Avoid cruises.Lemmings and mushrooms only.

No buying from Carnival Tuesday or Wednesday maybe they have stopped

[jan-mar] 22/11/2021 19:49

I don't think so, they announced some time ago they would sell $500 million worth of CCL shares in America and use it to purchase shares on the London market. They have bought about £120 million worth so far and will use the rest if needed for operational needs. JP Morgan said the previous quarters on board sales were £50 million, the next quarter expected to be £220 million. On board sales account for about a third of all revenue. I've traded them for the last nine months, but now happy to wait with my holdings.

[pierre oreilly] 22/11/2021 19:24

Sold almost all my holdings at the start of the covid retaining just a hundred to keeo the shareholder benefits ccl give. I'd like to buy them all back, but not sure it's the right time yet. Amazed they have a buyback program, i expect they now sing to the Saudi investors tune, and who knows what they want. Pretty sure they'd be bust now without the billions they've thrown at it.

I expect the saudis to buy full control to start a new industry to replace/complement their depleting oil industry. Don't see much attraction apart from that yet. I'd like the divi to be reinstated, but is that likely within the near future? Don't think so.
If you can take the considerable hassle of getting on a cruise these days, there's plenty of great value cruises for sale - all at much reduced capacity, making the experience even better. P&o unfortunately had to boot off many families just a few days before sailing on the recent cruise i went on - this due to a change in gov thinking on the ratio of the injected to not injected (i.e. young kids) allowed. Although not ccl's fault, it creates bad feeling.

Not for me just yet.

Is this company about to tap the market for more cash, certainly looks like it!

[arja] 19/11/2021 20:09

certainly chart shows s clear downtrend but it is not alone in that

[jan-mar] 19/11/2021 17:49

It's a waiting game now, all Carnival ships will be back in action by March, hopefully the occupancy of each ship will increase monthly

[jan-mar] 19/11/2021 13:46

It seems I'm now an investor not a trader

[jan-mar] 08/11/2021 16:01

Apparently not, they didn't buy in on Friday

[jan-mar] 05/11/2021 17:09

Be interesting to see if Carnival carried on buying today at the higher price

[the white house] 05/11/2021 16:32

More to come emphasis on here & Intercontinental, Hermes etc from now on. T&L to boom after Pfizer news and BA full on transatlantic back on from Monday

[jan-mar] 05/11/2021 16:30

Wasn't expecting that, nice surprise

[jan-mar] 04/11/2021 08:27

Carnival still buying shares, punters still selling to them, crazy

[jan-mar] 01/11/2021 16:08

This might just be the start of the road back for the share price

[pierre oreilly] 30/10/2021 14:53

Just boarded Iona for a couple of weeks. Impressed so far. Lots of eating places but no real main dining room. Lots of opportunities for extracting cash with lots of paid-for dishes and extras. The 150quid shareholder obc will come in handy.

Seems to be plenty on board, someone said just over half capacity, about 3000. A real pain doing all the paperwork in advance, it was almost never ending. Doesn't seem at all like a Petri dish, all very clean.

[jan-mar] 29/10/2021 21:13

It is 6.4 million shares, one third of gross revenue is from onboard sales. The previous quarter was $50 million, it is expected to be $220 million this quarter, to be reported 29/10

[ccnp] 29/10/2021 20:12

would that be 6.4m of 964m

looking at a princess cruise via Igloo next june, 7 days S'oton/S'oton to the fjords. 4 pax. 1 mini suite, 1 balcony. Full drinks/wifi/tips/parking etc = £839pp. Not a lot of profit in that. V relaxing so off we go.
