Is that a radiance class in the photo? I had a funny memory today because of this, back when Carnival Triumph was broken down and mostly adrift in 2013, the toilet plumbing stopped working. I remember Jay Leno saying, "There was feces and karaoke everywhere!" That did get me a big upgrade on my 2014 Jewel cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted May 13, 2021 #54 Share Posted May 13, 2021 If there were passengers on the ships, ready to battle it out, I'd go with the rowdy Carnival bunch. The Royal people would be hiding in the Diamond lounge. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian now has $3.5 billion in liquidity and will be “well-positioned to weather covid-19 impacts.” Yup. I am glad to see that you are promoting NCL.

Jingerwoppy Posted May 14, 2021 #59 Share Posted May 14, 2021 All the Carnival crews are drunk or hungover. They've been partying at sea for over a year now. RCCL should easily dominate them. 🙂 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted May 15, 2021 Author #61 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Brilliance has done such a good job as a spearhead that Oasis has come up front with her. Back to somewhat seriousness. I haven't seen this many ships hanging in one spot and staying there since the pandemic shut down. I'll admit to knowing nothing (a rare admission on the internet) and that I'm looking for any positive sign I'll go on my next scheduled cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought enough shares that when it went from around $15 to $45 I cashed out and bought a 7day cruise on Freedom. Might look at that again.

BOOKBOOKBOOK Posted May 15, 2021 #70 Share Posted May 15, 2021 "Norwegian's not one of the big ones" so they're out of the picture 😂 My money would be on the Royal/Celebrity fleet because even though Carnival would have better fighters based on their stereotypical behavior/demographic, I would choose pure numbers every day. Carnival can't match the amount of combined passengers and crew that Royal/Celebrity would have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian’s stock price, trading near $60 at the end of 2019, has plunged 81% so far in 2020, and is now trading at around $11 per share. The stock plunged over 20% on Tuesday following the initial warning of possible bankruptcy, and is down 0.8% on Wednesday despite the positive funding news. r/wallstreetbets called, and they want their juicy, well-researched DD back.
