Bullish view from a few days ago:

We seem to have broken out again. I think that the next major resistance is in the 1780/1795ish. Following the US opening yesterday and the strong gain we could following the US elections expect an interesting PM, methinks. S

Strong sales at present and the continued payment of debt will see a healthy rise for sure.

[smurfy2001] 06/11/2024 10:15

Be interesting to see an update to the short position.

Well I did top slice a bit as you suggested a couple of weeks ago. CCL had got to 44% of my portfolio with gains, took off 9% and retained 35%. Glad I kept it. Can only see this getting stronger.

Loads with pensions effectively being told to spend it now.

Not that ccl needs any help at all. ATH coming in a couple of years max imv. (That's just above 6 quid).

No idea at all why anyone is selling.

[smurfy2001] 06/11/2024 09:44

Much higher to come.

Trump will pump the economy.

I think we are at a truer value now.It depends how fast the debt gets paid off and how much further ahead investors look.

Royal Caribbean's CEO, Jason Liberty, credits the company's private destination, "Perfect Day at CocoCay," for driving substantial returns. Carnival and Norwegian are following suit with investments in similar projects. Private islands have seen a 41% increase in passenger capacity year over year, according to Tourism Economics.

Well, my limit sell order was triggered this morning at 1590. By far my best recent investment as I entered at 1050 in April.
Just a bit concerned that there may be a decent pull back from the 1600 level given this strong run.
Good luck to those holding!

Royal Caribbean Cruises

Market cap 56.02bn USD
Full-year revenue for 2024 is projected to be around $21.6 billion

Carnival Corp

Market cap 28.45bn USD
Full-year revenue for 2024 is expected to be approximately $24.5 billion

There's potential for huge growth in the share price as debt is reduced.

DYOR as always!

Struggled around 15.45 this morning. 1606 next major resistance, then 17.90, methinks.I would appreciate what some of you serious Chartist think. America could be interesting this pm!S

Looking fantastic. My £30k target on my May position remains.

Let's see what Tue/Thur brings.

Interesting to note the short interest is reducing.

[jan-mar] 24/10/2024 14:33

I'm sure you are well aware of the point I was making

[toffeeman] 24/10/2024 14:11

That part of the world has been of the cruise list for two years Alaska, Europe and Asia replacing

[smurfy2001] 24/10/2024 14:09

Who's keeping an eye on Gaza?

[toffeeman] 24/10/2024 14:00

What is the shareholder benefit on Seabourne?

[jan-mar] 24/10/2024 13:47

I would be more inclined to keep an eye on what happens to Iran

[smurfy2001] 23/10/2024 18:35

NCLH and RCL report next week keep an eye Tue/Thur.

Shareholder benefits
Fare Types
Shareholder benefits apply to the shareholder and can be applied to most fare types*.

*Reduced Rates
Employees, travel agents cruising at travel agent rates, tour conductors or anyone travelling on a staff reduced rates, Travel Industry rates or on a complimentary basis are excluded from this offer. All other fares types, including any on board spending money benefits, are currently combinable with shareholder benefits. It is non-refundable/transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash on any of our facilities.

-------------------------------------

They may have your 'fare type' down as one of those (possibly travel agents rate) where the benefit doesn't apply.

Why hold shares for the benefit? I expect 99.5% of cruises qualify for the obc.

But how the hell us punters are supposed to know which fare type we have bought is enigmatic. Best to ask before you book whether the shareholder perks apply for the cruise (which they will do if not part of a fly/hotel/cruise package, or idf th agent hasn't chartered the whole ship, or if the agent hasn't pre bought a number of cabins. I always ask now - and the anton du bek i mentioned earlier doesn't pay the obc, so I didn't book it.
