I think you will find The HL figures usually jump all over the place between 16:30 and 17:00 as the back log of orders are cleared. The post 17:00 are the correct figures, currently 99.5 and 99.8 respectively.

Cot, Same policy still with Cunard. Very surprised you were not offered drinks in the bar. Must have been a temporary staff issue (possibly being deployed to other busier bars) I think there are still post Covid recruitment issues.

Not fantastic news for us long term holders but at least it is about 20% above current level

Whatever the potential impact on CCL, this will give the mm’s an excuse to drop the price on Monday.

Finance, I see you have now corrected yourself and are now saying the same as JOHNO. It’s the difference between a . and a ,

Bots, as one gambler to another, I have a few chips running on 888 and also GEMD. One is more high risk but you never know! Lost money on BOO, ASOS and SDRY so decided to give clothing retailers a wide berth for a while.

The “sale” reported at 11:16 was actually my purchase. Makes you wonder if the other sales earlier in the morning were also buys.

Now realise that news I’d two weeks old - silly me for not checking first.

Just topped up a little on the back of that information - time will tell if that’s the right decision.

I agree.

Same here, they all know me. The pit boss on my last Cunard cruise has told me she has applied to transfer to P&O Ventura at the end of the year. I am on Ventura for 5 weeks from mid feb. Not sure if that will be an advantage or disadvantage to me.

Bots, are you psychic? 32 is my number and their maximums allow $25 straight up, $50 split and $100 corners so my maximum win is €7,475 per spin. I need to seriously consider defecting to RCCL!

Director buying shares is a move in the right direction but a purchase of less than £3k isn’t exactly a sign of confidence.

Bots, I see you say your average spin is $600. Cunard say $500 but I negotiate higher with the casino manager. But they will not increase the maximum of $25 straight up ($50 on splits) .What is the maximum straight up on RCCL? I am on QV in September and intend negotiating a better deal , particularly the benefits. I have a €1k free spend which is the lowest I have ever had despite putting through over €100k on my last cruise.

One real plus with Cunard is the OBC when you book the next cruise when on board. We get $400 each when booking a Suite for a 14 night cruise. That coupled with the OBC offered with the cruise we are going on in September and Shareholder credit means we are getting $2,450 OBC in total. Whilst some people think Cunard is more expensive, it’s surprising how the gap narrows.

Bots, I now understand why you cruise with RCL. I have lost many thousands in Cunard casinos in the past 18 months and in return I’ve had a few bottles of (nice) wine, a couple of free spa treatments for my wife and about $10k of future casino spend. Obviously not a patch on what you get from RCL.

I am also with HL but didn’t realise they offer this service. I usually send CCL a copy of a contract note but didn’t realise until today, when CCL declined my request , that the note needs to be dated within the past three months. I had sent them the same one as I sent them when I made my last claim two months ago which was already two months old. Luckily I bought some more shares two weeks ago so have just sent that contract note within the last hour. Thanks to Bhants I will know what to do in future.

Looks like we are all doing our best to keep the share price up!

Ken, so we are both in the Med in September but on different ships - you may recall I said recently that I am on QV then. Hopefully we will get some good weather.

Dave, as I said previously I don’t think there is much cash in the coffers to take advantage of this low price - I just hope I am wrong.
