Hi all,

Just checking in after a few weeks as I knew Bots was due back about now and was interested to know how he fared in the casino.

I’m currently on day 8 of 35 on Venture heading across the pond. Few hundred up in the casino but a long time for that to change!

We were supposed to have the next two days in Bermuda but cancelled due to a medical emergency (had to re-route back towards Spain before a helicopter managed to find us in thick fog on its second attempt) and very rough seas slowing us down.

Maybe we will see £14 by the time I get back.🤣

CCL now have a company which processes claims called Stockperks.

They are now making the process much more difficult and there is conflicting information regarding when you should claim.

It now takes considerably longer to go through the process. As it’s an American company, one thing which caught me out was the date format month/date/year and it took me a while to realise what I was doing wrong.

All In all, a very frustrating and much longer process.

Anyone else used this company yet and had similar experiences?

Topo,

Got on yesterday after you got off.

Just 4 nights Hamburg and back. I always spend a lot of time in the casino and, whilst it was slightly busier than my previous QV cruise in October, they still struggled to keep two roulette tables open. So it may have been the Xmas/new year celebration passengers who kept the casino busy.

Can someone help me with the maths on that £3m buy.

I calculate the sp @ £1.014 if you divide the quantity by £3m.

Bot,

I read that earlier which is great news.

Just hoping I can get somewhere near that on my 4 nights if our favourite number also comes in for me.

The worst i will do is give them their $3k back and then stop (if I can!)

QV just 4 nights Hamburg and back. It’s a long story but not costing me anything and, on top of that, I have $3k free casino play, I play the same numbers as Bots so hoping I get his recent luck as we have both not done too well on other cruises this year.

Ventura 35 nights from Southampton and back via Spain, taking in Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico including 2 days New Orleans plus other east coast ports and Azores on the way back.

“Offering”, not ordering.

TOPO, we are booked on QV in January and also Ventura in Feb.

Been offered the upgrades as you state. In both cases we have suites booked, but not the highest grade.

When I took it a step further there was no availability for the higher grades so I can only presume they expect cancellations and will get back to you if/when this happens rather than the previous practice of ordering a free upgrade under these circumstances.

The bid was rejected before the new CEO was appointed.

I am a LTH and am struggling to understand how 5 month old news is generating so much interest.

It may have been a UT but someone had the confidence to buy even if someone else was “getting out”

Interesting £1m buy after the close!

Bhants.

Did you watch the chancellors statement today?

Said he was considering selling off the government’s shares in Nat West.

Not sure that will be good news for existing shareholders like you in the medium term.

Bot,

As you predicted, It went down but just not quite far as you thought - now on the way back up again, let’s see if it holds!

Bhants.

I currently have 2 P&O and 2 Cunard cruises booked.

Had four (I assume one for each cruise) emails over the weekend stating same.

Fortune favours the brave.

I think I need to do the same - probably miss our favourite number as it never comes in!

Bots,

Same here.

I had $3k free play - that went the first night. Every night I said I would limit myself to $1k - but I succumbed - lost more than that every night except one!

I think they are blocking 32 - only two came in all week!

Next doing 4 nights on QV early January - I also have $3k free play for that cruise so hopefully I can’t lose too much - you never know I may actually win using their money but that’s probably wishful thinking!!!!!!

Welcome back Bot.

Hope you had a better time in the casino than I had on QV last week.

Topo, we always enjoy her (4th time this year). This is only a 7 day cruise and our only other scheduled port was Vigo but we didn’t get there due to adverse weather in the Bay slowing us down to a snails pace. Not a problem as we just enjoy being on her.

Back on Friday. Hopefully CCL share price will recover by then based on my casino losses.
