D9ber - wise choice sir

And just to chip-in, whatever happens. Saga are obviously well well ahead of the game, and if any, will be one of the first to operate, which is massively re-assuring and involves no flying, which would take away a huge part of the risk of travelling in the first place.
Also, if I was on a cruise I wouldn’t really care even if I couldn’t get off at a port. I just want to be in holiday on a beautiful cruise ship, and not sat at home. Just my opinion.

Genius move!! Both PR & Marketing. (insert clap emoji)

Totally agree. All this does is give Saga publicity and raise profile. Great move. Imagine a lot of bookings off the back of it.

Direct from Saga

Hey, target age range on ocean over 65 especially between 65-75 years hope that helps

My missus had hers and was given a card. Just like a business card and was told guard with your life, that’ll be your new passport

It would be interesting to know what the actual average age of the cruise passengers are. My punt is majority 60+. See if I can find out unless anyone knows.
That would essentially bring vaccination slightly closer??

Fto - Great move, and very similar to me. I know nothing about this game, which is why I have relied on these great guys providing good information to get involved. But...I do know travel. Been in the industry 25 years (42 btw) and there has never been a scenario like this in that time, where a recovery play like this one has come across, and the SP has been at bottom to take advantage. So....take the risk or lose chance. BUT the risk seems minimal at best.

Rox - PS. Found out 2 days ago I have Business Interuption Insurance as part of my policy, so if it pays out, I’ll give you a discount on the cruise and I’ll even put some money behind the Champagne bar. Fingers crossed

I’ll organise the cruise no problem!! No discount though and I’ll make a killing on my 14% commission haha

Excellent point Rouge. We are in this together. All different backgrounds

Whether people disclose or not is entirely there choice. I can say though from a new investors point of view it’s great to see the full spectrum and such honesty. It encourages new investors that there not just diving in with the big boys so to speak if they don’t have much.

This is an excellent BB and has helped me massively so thank you all for that, and hope that new investors take as much from it too whether you have 50 shares or 500,000.
Cheers

6830 @ average 2.56. Originally in at 2.83 but kept buying on the dips to bring average down then hold hold hold. Didn’t s**t my pants. Been in the red for 3 months! Treating the missus to a Chinese tonight :). First time investor. Only share I mainly own bar a few in IAG and Carnival but nothing to write home about. Topped up that much now only have £0.16p otherwise I’d get more.

Millionaire- When you say Mid-Term £12. What is your mid-term? 2022? Cheers

Interesting move in Italy

Just bought in small holding for recovery play, main holding with Saga. Looks like the travel stocks are finally waking. GLA

Still have small holding here in recovery play, but mainly Saga. Seems the travel stocks are finally waking! Best of luck.

Most travel companies have taken a big leap this morning....I wonder if the market has woken up and realised what we already knew??

Haha FJ...good idea. Off to raid my sons money box first. He’ll thank me later.
