Carnival_Brides Posted November 14, 2014 #27 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I hate to burst your bubbles about Carnival's good works a'la Hurricane Katrina, but they were handsomely paid for the use of their ships. The Washington Post placed the pricetag in the neighborhood of $236 million. Carnival did break even, but they did not give away$236 million worth of goods and services. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/27/AR2005092701960_pf.html I'd also second (third?) the building of more Sprit class ships. :-) Edited November 14, 2014 by Carnival_Brides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front and center as a good corporate citizen, one might even venture more than some gov agencies (but let's not go down that path).:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-Crazy Posted November 14, 2014 #29 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'll be on Conquest on the 17th, wonder if the announcement will be in Fun Times. LOL :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired_to_Cruise Posted November 14, 2014 #30 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Isn't it amazing that people can generate two pages about speculations? Cruise Critic's version of the Jerry Seinfeld show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANCING GRANDMOMMY Posted November 14, 2014 #32 Share Posted November 14, 2014 One of three things. 1) the new ship build and new brand for china 2) Gerry Cahill replacement. Or 3) a huge ship order since there has been hints from Mickey and others about building the largest ship Sent from my iPhone using Forums I am guessing #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted November 15, 2014 #33 Share Posted November 15, 2014 CCL stock continued it's climb today, up another 60 cents a share, and it is up 19% in the last month. That's a nice climb. Apparently investors are expecting a positive announcement.

Apparently investors are expecting a positive announcement. "Bulls Want to Cruise With Carnival:" http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bulls-want-cruise-carnival-173408210.html Maybe the announcement is that NCLH is buying CCL. Norwegian is up $1.09 today and up about 30% in the last month. Closing price per share above CCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closing price per share above CCL. No, that would drive the CCL up even higher. The cruise lines all dropped after the "ebola" incident and have climbed back in the last month. Now if CCL were buying NCLH that would cause what you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorN Posted November 15, 2014 #39 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) My sources are telling me this announcement is in response to the attempt to repeal the ban on dwarf tossing in Florida and possibly adding this as an entertainment option on ships embarking out of Florida.

theriac Posted November 15, 2014 #40 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I have a feeling this will be strictly CCL related. Why have John Heald come across the Atlantic to be at an event announcing something for Carnival Corp only. I have a feeling it will be about a new order of ships to come over the next 5-8 years, and as stated getting into the emerging Asian market. I also hope for a new spirit class ship to be home ported in Tampa year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orison Posted November 15, 2014 #42 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Could the big announcement be...."We are lowering the cheers program back down from $49.95 a day" or "We are raising it to $59.95" Maybe a CHAIRS program. $10 bucks a day for a dedicated chair in a dedicated location. $20 for the pool perimeter. Free one deck closer to the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won a slot machine progressive jackpot and took lots of great excursions. NCLs cabins are too small for my taste though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
