No Tump Victory Cruise?
Folks packing into retail, packing into mass protests and riots...
But want to get away on a relatively peaceful ship? Too bad...
pj, any input on the trump cruise? -Tom
“According to Cruise Critic, Carnival CEO Arnold Donald said there was a communication sent out erroneously that said voyages would resume on August 1”
Sorry for being cynical, but Carnival announced August 1, a LONG TIME AGO. If it was a really a ‘communication error’, they wouldn’t have taken weeks to ‘correct it’.
But what they did accomplish was separating thousands more people from their money, through their policy of making it quite cumbersome to get a refund. And that’s important, as they still have payments to make on their big boats.
This should help their stock tomorrow. Sarc. I was buying carnival stock every week until it hit 13 dollars. I have money in the Ameritrade account ready to but more. Maybe tomorrow may be the day. I’ve made a fortune but it’s still hovering at 20 dollars. Too expensive right now. I like it at the 12 dollar mark at least for now.
Exxon is killing it too. Bought at 39. Doing decent.
Interesting. I had no idea upscale cruise ships were under their (carnival) umbrella. I just always got the idea that Carnival was rather trashy in comparison to other lines.
Don’t hold a ticket for me. They were floating petri dishes long before CV.
Leading global cruise company Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCL)—which operates the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands—today announced its decision to extend a current suspension of all of its global cruise voyages to those departures scheduled to embark between August 1 and September 30, 2020, across all three of its brands. The cancellations do not, however, include Seattle-based Alaska voyages scheduled to sail in September 2020.snip
Further, select cruises, including Canada and New England sailings, will also be canceled through October 2020, owing to ongoing port and travel restrictions put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
