Carnival Share Discussion Threads

Shareholder benefits are great, 150 quid or 250 dollars for a 14 nighter each. We do about 6 or 7 a year, so 1.5k dollars. Not life changing but certainly worth a 1k investment. Plus if you hold for a few years you 3x or 4x your money. No onboard discounts as far as i know - mind you, the stuff on board is either cheap junk or very expensive overpriced decent stuff (tax free! those words pull the punters in! CCL get the tax free benefit!).

Next cruise not in a Blackpool dinghy, Norway in 3 weeks, Feb cruise Qm2 Sydney to Singapore, bargain price of course, part of world cruise, 31 nights. I'm sure the 31 days we're away, CCL will rise more than the fare.

Much better than staring at a screen all day inventing phantom trades, or only posting the lucky trades and not the unlucky ones, or being honest like sam and admitting that a long run of perfect trades produces a 90 quid profit.

Ltbh is the way forward chaps and I'm certain you'll understand eventually. ( Learn about exponentiation, and apply that to the price and the divis and reinvest the divis and see what happens, after 10 or 15 years on average.).

Carnival CFO Eyes Debt Markets to Ratchet Down Interest Costs

(Bloomberg) -- Cruise ship operator Carnival Corp. may sell debt to bring down its interest expense when the opportunity arises, Chief Financial Officer David Bernstein said in an interview.



“We’re always looking at opportunities,” Bernstein told Bloomberg on Tuesday, adding that the company’s efforts to reduce its $33.7 billion pile of debt don’t prevent it from refinancing at lower rates, he said.

Despite the increases in interest rates in recent quarters, Carnival’s financing costs have fallen, Bernstein said. “The credit cost of our company has come down more than interest rates have gone up,” he said.

Definitely well off their 2018 highs at £48.

[dovey21] 28/6/2023 16:13

Bought for both discounts and investment as, at the time, they were well off their highs.

[kasamavic] 28/6/2023 16:08

I don't think the shareholder benefits are worth much.Google will tell you as will Pierre as he's mentioned it before.

[dovey21] 28/6/2023 15:52

A friend sometime ago told me he'd bought here for the shareholder booking and on board discounts. I bought a load too at c. 650. I think I owe him a few beers.

My core holding remains untouched. Given the CFO has provided profit guidance on Q3 this has got much further to rise IMHO. I also expect the guidance given will be beaten, CFO/CEO seemed very upbeat on the earnings call.

Also watch our competitors Norwegian Cruise Line & Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Short interest has also come down to 13.77% from 14.65% (US listed shares).

There's a cash gap at 1189 for the gappers out there

Hello kitty cats,

Reduced my CFD, with 25% left.

Enjoy your cruise, don't forget to buy those packages ;)


@Pierre enjoy your dinghy ride to Blackpool beach should go nicely with a fresh bag of chips.

[kasamavic] 28/6/2023 08:25

Fair enough, I didn't read it as that, but only he can confirm that.

[pierre oreilly] 27/6/2023 23:30

He's not agreeing with my previous post. He's being sarcastic.

Even more cracking Sam are those very successful traders such as your goodself who, after probably a run of 12/14 successful in and out and shaking it about, you proudly declared you had something like 13 'free' shares more than you started with, i.e. at the time at £7 per share, equates to a £91 profit for a dozen successful trades over a dozen weeks. And you claim to be one of the 20% successful traders!

Are you planning on giving up lorry driving and managing on £8 per week trading profits? Or has your amazing good run of successful trades now come to an end, and you're looking for ovis?

[sambuca] 27/6/2023 19:53

They crack me up too next they will be saying they sold loads at £40 and bought back in £6

Sam

[jan-mar] 27/6/2023 16:12

The people who bought in at 6 to 7 pounds, and banked a good profit.

[jan-mar] 27/6/2023 16:10

I haven't traded for months

[smurfy2001] 27/6/2023 15:10

Wonder how many sold out yesterday.

Carnival CEO telling us moments ago that the cruise line is just, quote, "scratching the surface on demand and will be profitable in the third quarter."

[tradejunkie2] 27/6/2023 14:55

What a trade kitty cats.

[tradejunkie2] 27/6/2023 14:34

Just sold 50% of my CFD. Easy money riding the waves.

A Bull Market Is Coming: 3 Reasons to Buy Carnival Stock

[smurfy2001] 27/6/2023 08:22

There's the bounce off the 20 day MA.

[smurfy2001] 26/6/2023 22:48

Keep cool.

Possible next: Bounce off the 20 day or upper trend line.

[pierre oreilly] 26/6/2023 22:21

There's the inevitable drop, as predicted, followed by the smug comments, just as predicted. Up about 50%, down 12%. Facts eh?Results seem fine to me, with recovery in place, return to profit soon. No idea what this will do tomorrow, but pretty sure it will continue its recovery over a 12/24 month timescale.Whatever happens tomorrow, up down sideways, the traders, and the technicals, will tell us it would obviously happen after it's happened. You traders are a funny lot.
