Bhants.

We know 2026, anything before then it's purely the rollercoaster.

Will it repeat last year, maybe, maybe not.

The true issue as we know is debt, overhead and Earnings Per Share.

As long as we don't have a war or a covid, year on year this will be a lot higher than it was a year ago.

Note.... we are 39.12% up from this time last year. Natwest is 21.46%.

All we need is love, as a clever songwriter wrote.

Or even better, look at Rolls Royce.!

It went all the way up to 161, then dropped to 65p, then bounced around. It then went up to 70, 80, 90, 100, then popped to 120, 150, 180, 220, 260, 300, 350, 400, 420, and has now settled at around the 400-430 mark.

I made money on RR, but if I had waited, I would have made a huge damn sight more.

It went from 700 to 1150 starting next week, last year. It took just over a month to rise 60%.

Hopefully, by the results at the end of June we will be £14, and then hopefully we won't have a repeat of last year where we dropped 15% on the day of the results, only to gain 40% the following few days.

A £4 gain in 6 weeks will do me.!

Last year, we were very nearly at the same time, the same price.

If history is repeated, we will be £11 by the end of next week.

It is currently, after hours, at $14.15

That is 33c drop

24p ish drop for us in the morning.

We closed at $14.48

I have no idea why, but it's continuing to slip downwards, currently $14.28

The reason for the airline drops today was Ryanair saying about pricing, plus the Boeing issue. Neither would effect Cruises, and Oil is down 7% this month.

My Pinnacle Drinks, yes, i.e. the 6 drinks a day, anywhere on the ship.

The Casino drinks, officially, no, but I always use a Server, so if I'm with someone that has to pay for their drinks, I will ask them what they want, then just order that drink from the Server for "me".

In the casino however, 99.9% of the people get free casino drinks anyway, as most people have achieved the lowest rating of Prime, which is very easy to achieve.

Seriously, if you want "free cruises", the Royal casino program is by far the easiest and the best on the market, In my view.

On Royal, for years, it's been two bottles per stateroom. Lots of people THINK it's two bottles per person, which is incorrect.

I don't drink, but I get unlimited alcoholic drinks in the casino, and 6 free drinks anywhere else on the ship, per day.....

and all I do is drink tea, and pee all day.........

And........

Win in the casino of course.!

So Easyjet had a drop of 7% from where it was at

IAG dropped 4%

CCL dropped 2%

and the reason..........................apart from Rafah, that's it.......but Oil has stayed constant....

Https://uk.yahoo.com/news/outbreak-norovirus-onboard-cruise-ship-125700111.html

The reason for the spike upwards was because of the US Jobs report, which showed a lower number of jobs than expected, and a lower pay rise that previous, so Yields are down, which means stocks are higher.

This puts more pressure on the Fed to announce reductions at the next meeting

Dow, NAS, S&P are all well over 1% up.

However, CCL like all travel in theory will calm down from the excitement and bob around until the actual reduction in Interest Rates,

Even .

$14.46 UK Close / US Close (Nearly)

Queen Anne arrived in Southampton today.!

Another ship added to the ever growing fleet.

By 2026 there is 10 new ships? (I think) at approx. 4.000 avg capacity, 40,000 a week, 500,000 extra passengers a year....

UK Closed $14.28

US After Hours Close $14.54

26c, 19p

The US Closed at $14.47

It went all the way up to $14.79 and dropped back, but so did the whole of the US. The whole of the tech Nasdaq went up 300 points and dropped 300 points, so the US swung by 2%, which when you consider the NAS is something like $50 Trn that is an incredible pump and dump of $1 trn, or $1,000 BILLION swing........

Betterlife.

This isn't a CCL thing, it's a whole travel thing.

Oil has dropped a lot, BP was down over 2% today

Travel stocks will swing wildly whilst rates are high, Oil is bouncing, Inflation is high etc.

You need to do what you need to do, but being your age, ignore it.

You are in at an exceptional prices, and in 10-15-20 years time, you will look back and laugh.

If you can time the swings it's brilliant, but most of the time it doesn't work.

PATIENCE..............2025 - 2026

We closed at $14.28

It currently has SHOT UP 50c to $14.78

Betterlife.

Last June, CCL published their results which were record beating at the time.

They dropped 15%

Over the next two days they gained 25%

Over the next month, they gained 40%

They went from £11 to £9.50 ish to £13.50 all within a month ish.

The issue is the Interest Rates are staying higher for longer, therefore, theory again, everyone will have less money for longer, which in turn means that they will cut back on spend, which means that they won't take lavish cruise vacations...

Really, as I've said 101 times, everyone feel that taking a vacation now is a "right", people will never make the same mistake as they did and "save up" if they can't afford it. They will put it on a credit card and go, and worry about it afterwards.

At some point, this will just drive upwards, the only danger is war or another covid.

Calm down Mrs Mannering
