Bhants, I was expecting my presence in Cunard casinos would help CCL sp. Unfortunately, got off the 5 day cruise to Liverpool on Sunday and the casino was not open for the entire journey. Anyway, off on QV today for 16 nights so anticipate swelling the coffers from tonight!!

Following the issues reported last weekend Cunard released a new 5 night cruise at 1:00 pm yesterday. My agent managed to secure a Queens Grill suite for me but said all Grills Suites were sold out within 6 minutes and the ship fully sold out a few minutes later. Clearly there is a pent up demand for cruising which is positive news for the SP.

Plus a 112 carat white diamond sale held over to current quarter.

Looks quite positive, just a very slight reduction in $ received per carat but overall a good update
Should see a positive share price movement today.

The dates have recently been updated as follows:

The benefit is applicable on sailings through July 31, 2024 aboard the brands listed below. Certain restrictions apply. Applications to receive these benefits should be made at least three weeks prior to cruise departure date.
This benefit is available to shareholders holding a minimum of 100 shares of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc. Employees, travel agents cruising at travel agent rates, interline rates, tour conductors or anyone cruising on a reduced-rate or complimentary basis are excluded from this offer. This benefit is not transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash and, cannot be used for casino credits/charges and gratuities charged to your onboard account. Only one onboard credit per shareholder-occupied stateroom. Reservations must be made by February 28, 2024.

Ken, I’ll do the same, Lol.

Ken, looks we will be following each other around the Baltics next month - I’m there on QV 9th - 25th. Looking at the itineraries I don’t think we will be in the same port any day. Enjoy.

Spot on Bhants - one consolation we were only there for half a day.

You enjoy your trips also. We did Tromso on Ventura summer 2019 excellent scenery. Thinking about Queen Anne but already have two P&O cruises booked next year - across the Atlantic to New Orleans and back (5 weeks) Feb then Arcadia Canaries December. We are also in the Med this September on QV again. - you never know we may be in the same port one day.

You can see why we all struggle understanding the low share price with so many people making so many bookings!

Topo, which Cunard are you on in May? We are on QV 9th May.

Bhants, we were on QV in December. On that cruise they did the opposite to what is happening with you on Arcadia - missed out Malaga went to Gib on a Sunday instead - not very clever as most things were closed!

15:00 uk time.

Sorry, should have read Upcoming Events

That would be over 10% in a day - a bit too optimistic I think!
Maybe tomorrow - but there again we all know what happens with CCL

Interesting take-aways from Q&A session.
Acknowledgement that GEMD could be a M&A target at current low share price.
Commitment to recommencing dividend when circumstances allow.
Still negotiating sale of Ghaghoo and expect costs to be reduced or eliminated this year.
Looking at other opportunities outside of current operating area.

Should read Q1.

Jane may have been the right person 10 years ago but is now past her prime, as is Nicole. Both are from the past, it needed someone who has a rising career with an even brighter future not a has-been. Need to be looking forward not back.

Topo - got the $250 twice last year and $50 once. The one they have just confirmed is for 16 nights in May and, based on their email, I see no reason why I will not receive the $250. The other big plus is booking whilst on board - extra OBS of $400 per person in a suite which is available to anyone booking their next cruise whilst on board. Also, I spend quite a lot of time in the casino and usually get a good free casino spend voucher if I sail on another cruise within 9 months. It won’t be long before they are paying me to cruise with them??

Having now read the actual benefit schedule (link below) it appears you are correct. I see Cunard is listed under UK and US brands. It could be I have been lucky and the agent has picked up the US details as USD is the currency on board.
