Who?

[cruiser fanatic]

Wow. Sad. She was a huge asset to Carnival. Hopefully they find a good replacement for her.

Actually not very surprised. Once they brought in a new President, there would be some fall out, more coming I bet.

I'll send her some chocolate covered strawberries.

Only after she racks up some casino points on her cruise.

 

I have seen her on one video at one time. Wasn't real impressed given the title/dynamics of the position (VP of Worldwide Sales) with the 800 pound gorilla.

Dont see how that will affect us here.

Actually, it could have a very significant effect on all of us. She came in circa Gerry Cahill (actually came over from sister company Costa). She was involved wit almost every policy and decision having to do with Carnival over the last 8 years.

 

It will be interesting to see if her boss Lynn Torrent survives. Even more interesting to see who replaces her. Don't think because you have not seen her she was not integral to the process.

Neither can I.... sounds like office politics

She was integral to the processes and growth of Travel Agents and 3rd party Agencies development for Carnival bookings. That was her primary development and responsibility.

 

Not something the average cruiser cares specifically anything about.

 

We often book cruises directly without T/A's. Unless there are flights and more than one night hotels/land portions involved on our vacation. But Carnival on those trips is only a portion of the overall vacation, and isn't the reason I would ever choose to use a T/A.

 

We think the last few years of Cahill have been rather downhill for the brand, with many things now looking up for the future.

WooHoo, I hope that means the stock we just purchased will go up! Never paid much attention before, but hope the policy of giving OBC to stockholders is renewed next year:) The dividends will be nice, too. We are new to buying individual stocks, so this is good news- hope you are correct (as we believe you are, of course!).

OK will be interesting to see what happens.

CCL went down 10% after it reached its peak several weeks ago.:(

LOL.

 

And it's going to need to be repeated daily here on CC.

CCL went down 10% after it reached its peak several weeks ago.:(

 

But is still 10%+ higher than 1 year ago.

But is still 10%+ higher than 1 year ago.

And it is about the same as its 1999 price. :(

 

With today's 3+% drop, I took a $3k hit. Why was that? Because that Joni lady is leaving?:confused:

If you bought in at it's peak, you should be more analytical on the historicals next time around before pulling the trigger.

 

Earnings statements? Market saturations? Any number of complex things.

If any stock was 100% predictable, no one would invest in anything else.

That's why we hope the OBC perk continues...and that we can sail a couple times per year (or at least once!).
