Having done 8 already I have retained my sense of humour 😉

if you had been on a cruise youd know thats impossible

[ickleinvestments] 08/7/2024 21:47

You sure you aren't on a Warner's Cruise by mistake?

[smurfy2001] 07/7/2024 13:43

So l guess Arcadia is a bit more upper class then?

cardinaltoo much of the mdr menus have been given over to gluten free, vegan etc...reducing the choice for the majority - the problem with p&o now is the big ships are rammed with chavs and their kids, the medium ships are fairly boring standard carnival ships with a poor layout and the smaller ships are old folks homes - their best ships orianna and oceania have been sold off

I think that standards are going down on the mass 5 star ships, but maintained on the expensive 6star lines. They've more or less got to fall on the big ships to keep prices low so they can fill them up. Those who don't like the £50pd rabble can spend £300 per day and get the old fashioned luxury cruise experience (or just go out of school holidays). So the market is catering for everyone by diverging.

Standards have probably lowered continuously since the titanic as more capacity needed filling. People set their baseline on their first cruise, then say standards have dropped 5 years later. Same 100 years ago, same today I think.

There's no better value for £50pd anywhere - that value is what will drive ccl and others higher imv.

Of course the 50pd is just the lead in price, even on the 5 star mass ships you can pay £1000pd in suites and on board spend.

currently i think its only special cases which are stopping the big ships - central venice, a couple of norwegian fjord stops etc. Many ports already aren't equipped to take the big ships anyhow.

I haven't been on a cruise (P+O) since Covid but reports I get from people who have is that the standards aren't so good - as some comments here refer to more limited menus for example. Also bigger ships are going to struggle in Europe as ports start to limit arrivals to keep tourist numbers in check. I can see upside for now as ships pack them in but medium term I am less convinced.

Toffeeman, good to see people buying the drinks package and having fun.

[smurfy2001] 06/7/2024 12:46

Good article 👍🏻

RCL share price has fully recovered, so these 2 items were of interest.

"Royal Caribbean is the least leveraged of the three, with a net debt to ebitda of 4.7 times at the end of 2023."

"Carnival, for example, expects its net debt to ebitda ratio to fall to 4.5 per cent this year."

Finally,

"Now is a good time for investors to get on board."

Royal Caribbean also led the way last year, soaring 162% in a year that found all three stocks coasting well ahead of Wall Street averages. Can Royal Caribbean double again in 2024?

3 Reasons Royal Caribbean Stock Can Double Again in 2024



1. The cruise line industry is sailing along nicely
2. Following the beat
3. Analysts keep trying to catch up

[pierre oreilly] 02/7/2024 09:08

They are certainly increasing the money extraction from punters when onboard. Meals at 125dollars well overbooked. Shows, not the theatre shows, at extra cost and packed. Everyone on stupidly high priced drinks packages, stupid tour prices always fully booked - seems that taking money off cruisers is very easy.Met a few gamblers who cruise non stop for nothing, but they have to keep betting to keep the perk. All claim to win overall in the casino! A bit like advfn traders. They subsidies my cruises.

[jan-mar] 02/7/2024 08:59

I think they are not interested in the group of people that are used to cruising, more interested in the new cruisers, no frills, more booze packed in like sardines, parting with their money

[stansmith1] 01/7/2024 17:30

loli should be so lucky

[tradejunkie2] 01/7/2024 17:10

p&o charging for shows on brittania, table service removed in brodies on iona...and so it begins

Sit back and relax for another 12 weeks

[smurfy2001] 01/7/2024 14:21

Triple TOP chart pattern.

RSI overbought.

[stansmith1] 28/6/2024 12:44

dont forget the pretentious formal nights...

[sardine2] 28/6/2024 11:02

Well chaps! The chart is starting to look really good. Could we go through the 14.00 barrier, if we do then we have a serious breakout.
In the last nine months we have had three 14 night plus cruises with P & O its a shame that food standards, both quality and presentation have been allowed to slip so low.

pierretake your dross off to one of the many cruise holiday boards - no one here interested in your drivel
