Fortypluscruiser Posted December 19, 2009 #26 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I fully stand by my point that the ticket take is secondary to the companies’ annual bottom lines and by far the majority comes from the on board revenue (specialty dining, casino (Biggest source by far), alcohol & soft drink sales, Internet and sat cell access (a rapidly growing source of revenue), shore side tours, Laundry services, on board shops run by the line as well as the income from the numerous franchises paying significant fees to be on board(specialty shops, spa, some dining etc))- please have a look at a few P&L accounts just buy one share each from CCL and RCL and you will get the accounts sent to you and all will become abundantly clear and get the book I mentioned it will at least give you some real facts on the cruise industry. All I have seen to date from you is truly misinformed claptrap. This is not a Carnival topic and I'm already a RCL stockholder. I see you do at least know the codes for the stocks. Other than than, you seem to be making it up as you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mareng Posted December 19, 2009 #27 Share Posted December 19, 2009 This is not a Carnival topic and I'm already a RCL stockholder. I see you do at least know the codes for the stocks. Other than than, you seem to be making it up as you go. I would strongly suggest that you sell your RCL stocks before they crash again. Just get the book I mentioned and do some real analysis of the industry as I have told you on numerous occasions I am a cruise industry veteran with a long-term insight into exactly how these companies (both CCL and RCL) really work. So rest assured I am not, as you erroneously imply, “making it up as I go”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellosno Posted December 20, 2009 #28 Share Posted December 20, 2009 For those that think the price is too high for the Oasis, don't go. For those that think that this is all a big scam by RC, don't go. Easy solution to what is essentially a non-problem. If I don't like something, I simply do not do it, but I don't go to message Boards and piss and moan about it. As I have said numerous times, most of the people on these boards have been on numerous cruises yet some still feel compelled to complain. However, there are people without jobs or even homes who can't even fathom going on a vacation, let alone a cruise, so get a little perspective would ya? Catlady LOL, just what I was thinking.

Heck, bottled water has a margin of about 1,000 percent (or so). Businesses who don't make money, don't stay in business. TA DA :) Capitalism at it's finest and you have a problem with this why? I'll do what I want with my money and free time, you do what you want with yours, etc. etc. and everyone will live happily ever after :) Catlady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
