She's a fine looking vessel, designed to please a myriad of passengers.

ya what the he!!, your on vacation and ya only live once. When it's time to go, go with no regrets.

alrighty then .

50 years....hawt damn! congratulations 🎇 🎉 and may the 🔥 always burn bright.

I can and sometimes do, the result just makes me wanna drink more 😆

$85.16 🤣, we did do the math and we are unable to meet that level of consumption.

inflation has caught up to the cruise industry. Most if not all lines are raising prices. Some last minute deals might appear on some ships but, gone are the day's of "I got this cruise on a steal" .

Alfredo's is a ghost town ? where did they go?

What ! since there's a delay and your stuck there, I want you to do some more investigating. "random selection" what the he11 does that mean? " not all suite guests are extended invitations" I'm guessing mini suites are out. Picture of the lounge ?

Bob, all I gotta say is ... karma .

past experience say's. Better to have it and not need it then, need it and not have it.

AIS is operating

uh well, we have the burger king bunch 🍔, and then there's the Ruth Chris crowd. 🥩

🖐️ question here , what's a nice Hawaiian shirt ?

thank you for pointing out a fact about the primium package, If you don't like the drink in hand, no worries, order something else.

I love foul weather and high seas. Brings back memories, only now I'm not on duty and I can enjoy a cocktail (or two) while while someone else is at the helm.

It does happen, not often, but often enough to keep folks coming back for more. My wife frequents the casino(s) and comes out ahead. I don't know how she does it 🤨

did ya purchase a package ?

I/we didn't take a position in this stock thinking it would be a short term financial value .

well... ya. I don't see spellbound being no cover charge, but hey....ya can't take it with you when you go.

... " Princess makes tipping a personal choice,"... Only cruises originating from the U S, hurray ! .. lucky us. So here's something to ponder. "All of the Crew Appreciation and Service Charge payments made by all guests on all ships in our fleet are pooled, net of credit card transaction fees. The pooled funds are distributed throughout the year in the form of compensation, including bonuses, to crewmembers fleetwide who interact directly with guests and/or behind the scenes throughout every cruise, including those in the Bar, Dining, Entertainment, Housekeeping, Guest Services, Galley and Onboard Revenue areas." So if Nigel and Mary leave the Caribbean princess sailing off the Eastern coast of U S, and are reassigned to Enchanted princess in the med. Do they get their percentage of tips/appreciation from the Caribbean princess while onboard the Enchanted in the Med.? Cause I left an extra Benjamin for Nigel, I don't think he got it.

The travel industry is subject to a global economy. Projection on futures play a large part in bottom line pricings. The cruise and airline industry are subjected to one of the most volatile commodities. If you consider what the daily operation expenses are of a 100 + ton cruise ship the highest cost isn't food and beverage or labor, it's fuel. Anywhere from 145k to 200k per day of operation. I'm not certain but, I would think princess and and all cruise lines purchase future contracts for fuel. If your looking at future costs of operation and ways to offset projected operation cost then cuts are the first thing on the table. The cruise industry can't do what the airline industry does ( raise and lower prices in a 24 hour period) to protect itself. Most people need to fly, cruising is an option. I can imagine the exchanges in a board meeting going something like this. John " well so far today I've heard nothing but good news", so now let's hear from Mary. Mary swallow hard and say's "Our margins for Q4 are looking good, but going into Q1 2024 we'll need to look into purchasing contracts for 200 million gallons of fuel" John, "200 million gallons ! ... geezus I just told the world we are paying down our debt and still able to post a 100 million in earnings" Mary, " well easy come, easy go". If we don't purchase these contracts in the next 60 day's, we're screwed" John, "why do we need such large contracts"? Mary, Well you keep building bigger ships, and they cost us more to operate" John, "how are we going to pay for that? " Mary, " start making cuts, save money to make money" John, " we need to accelerate our upfront sales some how" Carmin, jumps up and exclaims " why don't we dump the last minute booking deals, since they don't spend anything while on board and focus on early bookings which in turn increases our up front sales and makes us look good to lenders" John "BRILLIANT ! "

maybe they (princess) knows thing we don't know.

😟 this problem still persists in the vintner industry.
