We closed at $12.22, and the US closed at $12.25

TOPO.

That's because the QE is tiny.!

It's only 90,000 tonnes.

Symphony, which is currently the worlds second largest is 230,000 ish .......

so 2 1/2 times the size.!

But, the QE slices through the Ocean, the Cunard fleet are the largest Ocean going liners that there are, a completely different class of ship build for completely different reasons

TOPO.

You should see the Icon of the Seas then.!

On that in June next year.....for free obviously.!

227,000 tonnes (Harmony) vs 251,000 (Icon)

Icon will have 7,600 max capacity passengers.!

It's going to be a beast of a ship.

The Oasis class for Royal has a break even with 40% capacity, so you can imagine what the new Icon class will have....

That's probably why Royal are doing so much better than Carnival.!

I was trying to find the shortest video I could, it's only 1 minute long.

Doesn't show a lot of the inside of the ship, but you get the gist of it from the outside.

This was from 2016, when it docked in Southampton, and was, at the time, the worlds largest ship.

TOPO.

Thanks.

Not planning on gambling apart from my free monies from Freeplay/OBC/Master Credit.

Don't need points, don't need status, don't need cruises, as I can't fit in anymore until December 2024 next year, which won't be on any lists from the casino until the December cruises Im on this year.

Hopefully I don't become an idiot and gamble for the "fun of it".

Would like to turn my $4k+ of free money in $k+ of real money and walk off the ship with it, but that's a stretch goal.!

So I sat here until 2.29pm....

I thought what the hell am I doing.....

So I sold........ £9.13

and just bought back in for £9.02

So made approx. £4k in 30 minutes....... (well, saved losing £4k in 30 minutes anyway)

Bhants.

On Harmony of the Seas.

Two weeks, back to back around the Caribbean.

$12.52 with 184k shares traded.

LOL

All I'm doing is watching the share price table.

LOL.

You would think I have better things to do on the day before I fly off for two weeks.!

Currently only 140k shares traded with CCL in the US total today.

Everyone waiting with baited breathe to watch the drop in slow motion.......or fast motion as it normally is.!

Of course, as fordy said............who knows.!

Emerald.

RR is also a defence stock if you didn't know, and they get revenue from engines flying, so airlines not making money because Oil is up is immaterial to RR.....hence, why it's up.!

UK Red.

All Travel Red.

FTSE Red

DOW/NAS/S&P Red

Oil up well over 3%

BUT... We are the only one, apart from Defence and Oil stocks surviving currently.

So if there was a day that this will drop 40p on US opening, it's going to be today.

Have I sold.....nope.......... I'm just waiting for the big red downward line at between 1.30pm and 2.40pm.!

Intime.

The purchases are in US Dollars, as that is where CCL is traded.

CCL UK, or CUK is a secondary listing.

The price, currently, in the US, is $12.56

Then today we are going to have a very bad day.

Oil now up 2.2% at $87.90.......

US Futures currently Green.

Fear = 35/100

Woohoo.

$12.63

15c

11p

We closed at $12.48, the US is currently at $12.62..!!

WOOHOO......

A 14c increase........approx. 10p.........!!!!!!

If the US can rebound tomorrow from it's drop today, and Brent Oil can drop from the current $86.40, then we are in for an awesome day.......

Well so far it's gone up since our close, but the rest of the US has tanked.

would be great is we could close to where the UK opened, and then tomorrow we have a super day.......

Last day tomorrow... Then off to Miami on Harmony of the Seas for a B2B for 2 weeks.

Flying BA First Class out and back.!........Obviously the Inflation data is not effecting me.!

TOPO.

I agree re the sentiment, but disagree re Israel effecting the CCL SP.

At the end of the day it's just ports of call for the cruise lines, they will simply go to different ports of call instead, no different than being in the Caribbean and a hurricane is in your way, they just go to different islands instead.

Dubai is a long way from Israel, and unless the whole of the Middle East gets dragged into this, which is extremely unlikely, then you should be ok.

If the whole of the Middle East does get dragged into this, we will have bigger problems to worry about, as potentially that will mean WW3 is in the brink, as the US will be bombing Iran, Russia will be supporting Iran, Oil will be $300 a barrel etc. etc. etc.

Bhants.

No, the volumes traded within the UK hours are very small, the big volumes kick in at 2.30pm, and it's either a massive swing up, or a massive swing down depending on the volumes.

We went from 300k shares traded since UK opening, to 3.4m shares traded within about 15 minutes of opening, US time.

I seriously considered selling today and buying back in on the drop, but everything I saw (apart from the Oil price rising) said that it was going to go up.

Delta hit their numbers, and was up pre-trading, AA was up pre-trading, Royal was up pre-trading, US Indexes were all up pre-trading, FTSE was in good shape.

"Apparently" the reasons are that the US CPI data didn't fall as much as they thought it would......what a load of xxxx.....

So it still fell, so inflation is still coming down, but it's not good enough.

They just make this stuff up to justify the swings, that's all.

A 25p dump from the US opening would have given me an extra 1,000 shares if I had sold and re-bought.!

hey ho........they day I do it, it will go up, not down.!
