Next one for us is round the uk in June, on Princess (1st time with them). Wife's idea, I'm not too keen since we get very little on board credit and so i'll have to spend some actual real money during the cruise. Like to go north mid summer for the 24h daylight, but North cape/Murmansk looks not doable this year, so the Orkneys will have to do.

Glad you enjoyed the cruise we can't wait until 3rd April, looking forward to a trip round the Canaries and stop off in Lisbon on the way back.

Survived the last couple of weeks on the qe. What a fantastic cruise it was - not even any rumours of anyone with covid or norovirus or anything else. Had to divert on the way home to drop off some unfortunate lady who broke her shoulder and tried to manage with just a sling - bad move. Brilliant service/food/entertainment/dancing/painting and lots of other stuff we don't take advantage of - by far the best value holiday possible. Grab a cruise while you can is my advice. Some cutbacks, lobster only on the menu once in the two weeks whereas used to be each formal evening. No free drinks 'parties', but stella was only $3.50 a pint (+15%) (on special, all other drinks very expensive).

The future cruise deposit wheeze has now ended - that was an easy way of getting an extra $400/$600 on board credit, so that will change the net price a bit for us (effectively about a 15% discount), but there's $250 credit for being a shareholder (another about 10% discount) still available.

Poor old carnival has been hit and hit and hit again over the last 2/3 years - amazing how they keep going (thanks to the Saudis for pumping in billions) and supplying such a fantastic experience.

The price of LNG will start to effect some operators

He posts the same message every time there is a downturn in the market

[davidro77] 07/3/2022 11:52

To be fair everything is probably a short for the next few days lol

[jan-mar] 07/3/2022 11:44

I see you have posted the same message across several boards, obviously well researched before you trade, I doubt you have taken out a single short today

[jan-mar] 07/3/2022 11:41

I bought a few more at 11.07

[jan-mar] 07/3/2022 09:18

Good luck shorting at this level let us know how you get on, have you posted the same message across all boards ....... Again

Higher diesel prices will destroy their margins.A fine short.Lemmings and mushrooms only.

[jan-mar] 04/3/2022 14:07

I hope you are wrong, at some time it will stop, let's hope it's sooner rather than later

[davidro77] 04/3/2022 13:42

I can't see a cease fire happening it looks like total destruction of Ukraine is on the cards due the west's reckless encouragement for Ukraine to fight on whilst we look on and report from the sidelines

They needed a European war like they needed a hole in the head.

[jan-mar] 04/3/2022 09:09

Yes dum of me to buy in when I did but now is a good opportunity to buy in at these prices once a cease fire is agreed markets will react quickly

[jan-mar] 01/3/2022 21:34

Unfortunately I didn't just have to sit tight now

[davidro77] 01/3/2022 19:39

You bought when it dipped under 13? Got to be a brave man to buy anything right now

[jan-mar] 01/3/2022 15:24

Seemed like a good move yesterday to get back on board

[pierre oreilly] 28/2/2022 15:59

All Baltic cruises to be rescheduled, understandably. The qe sailing with 1400 ATM, really pleasant, enough people but nowhere crowded. Apart from mask wearing, a pretty normal cruise. Cunard have stopped selling future cruise deposits, so bang goes lots of onboard credit. Counter productive imv.

Have heard from friends on P & O Ventura's 5 week central american cruise that there are just 950 passengers on board who are looked after by 1000 crew.

We were supposed to be on this cruise but when the itinerary was revised in mid January removing all the US ports and Bermuda (presumably down to the risk of not being able to berth due to restrictions) and subsituting with miscellaneous Caribbean islands we cancelled. Wonder how many other passengers cancelled.

Gather from our friends that within the first two weeks of the cruise there have also been two further changes to itinerary due to "medical emergencies".

Honestly can't see how this cruise on a ship which has a normal capacity of some 3200+ will be making much money.........

[jan-mar] 28/2/2022 15:25

Back on board for the ride

[jan-mar] 24/2/2022 18:52

Should have stayed in

[jan-mar] 24/2/2022 09:14

I bought and sold in the first 10 minutes I did the same a few days ago, if it dips below 13 I'll get on board for a while

[davidro77] 24/2/2022 08:58

To buy or sell? ?

[jan-mar] 24/2/2022 08:06

Can't get a price yet could be very volitile for a while
