I see 3 floating slums in Carnival's future.
You can bet that part of the lease agreement is that either the ships will be returned in the same condition or the "government" (you and I, of course) will pay a hefty, hefty fine.
I see 3 floating slums also instead of the "long stemmed roses every day".
I had a few shares of Carnival (CCL) and sold them last Thursday on the basis of fuel costs lowering their profits. This lease by FEMA may bolster them in the short run but it has to damage CCL in the long haul. The floating slum image will stick for some time.
CCL stock tailed off some on Friday when this idea of leasing the boats came up. Wait and see what it does on Tuesday.
