The mass market cruise lines have changed their marketing methods to maximize profits . We are all subject to the changes .All one can do if things bother them on HAL ships is to change to a cruise line that suits their needs .In most cases those are the higher end cruise lines where most families van not afford .Those of us who are retired can choose not to sail when the kids are home on school breaks & that should be easy to do HAL could institute a policy pertaining to chair hogs .The policy could be if the chaur is not occupied within20 minutes the pool assistants are able to pick up & store the persona items ,so the people can then retrieve their items from the pool assistants .People need to send their recommendations to HAL in writing

The First quarter report & future guidance are outstanding .As the debt burden gets paid down this stock will soar to at least a 3 bagger with in 2 years from now .imo

So the stock lost early gains because to a 10 million extra cost . imo it was the shorts who wanted it down but when people study the first qtr results the smart money buys

Firget the dividends .Using 100 shares just for the On board credits is far better than any so called dividend ,Then the increase in share price alone has made me enough to pay for one of my longer cruises .now working on paying off the 2nd longer cruise

BTW I keep buying shares because I do know that the stock price will recover . This is imo a buying opportunity .The stock should be at $18 at least

The corp is paying down that debt & free cash flow has increased

Can't see why te stock price was down in early trading as a rogust ist qtr earnings was excellent & on deposit rose to a record . new booking set a record ie

March 27th open for CCL stock is showing plus positive

From a market share in the west coast Princess ,Carnival & Holland America are getting the lions share . It is obvious that there lines are doing more than Mexican riviera cruises

Already CCL is adding a 5th Excel ship to their Carnival cruise division which will make 5 of those ships in service . They just contracted with the ship yard . With that in mind ,we expect earnings to be even better than the last quarter . Then the stock will go up once again . A good time to get in today if you don't have your 100 shares as yet ,for all the On Board Credits it offers .Better than a dividend😄 With 100 share od CCL stock ,any of their cruise line brands you get on board credits : Here is what you can get : less than 7 day cruise $50 7 days to 13 days cruise $100 14 days & over cruise $250

Sorry yes it is Navigator of the Seas . now Quantum of the Seas is a relatively new ship & most welcome addition . Also RCCL should consider other cruise destinations beside the Mexican Riviera like Hawaii , coastal Calif ,ie

We went vthere back in March 2023 & saile B2B on a Celebrity ship . We are handicapped seniors & where the Celebrity vship was moored it was a night mare trying to load luggage at the curb . Too many people driving up yo load their luggage at curb side . just to find my car with the bus ,the driver of the bus needed my key to find my car using the beeper on the key .At least here is the San diego port we get a Uber to take us 40 miles to the port & no hassles parking a car If the world Cruise center was to build a high rise parking structure that would make it so much easier ,Drop off the luggage & my wife & then park & I can get back to the shops entry to the port with my electric scooter . Trust me handicapped people have a very hard time with parking at the world Cruise Center . Yes it is a huge parking area but ,it was very cut up as well .

The last time ,last year ,we parked at the World Cruise Center & the parking lot was a mess . Is there any indications that the port will build a proper parking structure ? If it did we drive from San diego to board Princess cruises TIA

Adventure of the Seas is a old ship now. Wondering id RCCL plans to replace this aging ship ? Does any one know ? TIA

We have 4 new cruises booked 3 on Konongsdam /7 one on Nieuw Amsterdam . We hope to have good entertainment 😄

Thanks for your posts

Yes We see now . We can only hope that Koningsdam remains to service the San Diego port post the 2026 Alaska season. A lot of fellow cruisers love that ship 😄 .It is a easy ship to navigate internally 😄

After the Alaska Season will Koningsdam be back servicing the San Diego port ?

Some time in 2025 Koningsdam leaves the San Diego port on a Panama Canal Cruise to be stationed in A Florida port . Nieuw Amsterdam will be replacing Koningsdam for the cruises from the San Diego port .We already booked a Jan 2026 Hawaii cruise with HAL on Nieuw Amsterdam

Prayers for the 2 lost in the explosion ,their families & all on board

Just printed them out to take on the cruise .No way to remember all of those benefits

Sorry yes we found them on HAL's wen site .Just tired from a tiring day

We just booked a Neptune Suite for a 18 day cruise . What are the amenities that comes with this suite ? TIA
