Why were ccl 35 quid once?

Well, ignoring the price they paid for a cruise, because of a special £30 per day offer for drinks and tips, most on my recent cruise took up that offer. Say 75% of 3500ish so say 3k. 3k*£30 = 90,000 per day mainly for drinks. The cost to ccl was the tips they gave the staff, say max 20% of that, so say 70,000 per day from this offer. Cost of drinks to ccl, probably a grand (no tax, and alcohol is cheap especially in bulk). So at least 60k per day profit from that offer. (and it's for the full 12 days of the cruise). That's a run rate for one boat of half a mill per week of 26 mill pa.

Captive market, ccl make masses of cash everywhere you look. As to those £100 tours and photos ... they are just a cash machine. Sure, they've run up debt over the last couple of years, but they'll soon cover that.

The £30 pd offer has now been replaced with a £40pd offer. Most you talk to think they've really got a bargain - I just think it's brilliant marketing.

For anyone interested Princess are still doing the free money future cruise deposit - we bought 4 of those.

As to being up market - i'd say Princess is even below p&o and well below Cunard. Several things went wrong due to staff shortages, but still a brilliant cruise and exceptional value for money. A year's worth of smoked salmon, king prawns, filet and forerib naturally consumed. Cheapish offers still for the round uk cruise if you can go in the next few weeks. Scotland especially is really beautiful from a boat.

Carnival update is going to be the bellwether for the industry given it carries 42% of passengers.

Analysts - stock going up, we’d better raise our for3casts. Stock going down, we’d better cut our forecasts. Always behind.

Hoping to have bought the bottom here @730, GLA

[jan-mar] 14/6/2022 13:32

It's just a guess at the moment, if you think the company has a bright future take the plunge you'll be very lucky to call the bottom

Looks like time to buy soon. Saudi Arabia's public investment fund reported to increase 8.2% stake (43.5 million share) stake so far. Saudi's are going to focus on travel and sport as the oil / energy market changes. Already seen this with sponsorship of sport and LIV golf tour this year. They admit they want to challenge UAE as the travel designation for tourist and more. What better to own the largest cruise company in the world. Already building massive terminal docked for them. Can see a takeover this year. China also interested and would not be surprised if they get a stake to. Had a little nibble at 733.20
