This is why, by the way.

Bhants.

As I smoke, in the US you can smoke in the casino, so depending on the weather outside during the day, I may spend many many hours in the casino, however, gambling, will be probably 10 hours max across a week, whether that be during the day, or in the evening.

My "Game" in Roulette, thats what I enjoy, however I do sit there and stick $100 in a slot machine when I'm bored.

99% of the people I cruise with are all casino players, and all of them are slot players....and all of them drink, the men and women, where generally I don't drink, maybe a Baileys a couple of times a week.

The good thing about the Oasis class casino's is that they have a proper single zero table, so all my numbers are together, with my big number, like Beejay's, being 32.

The rest of the fleet has only zero/double zero tables, which changes the sequence of numbers on the wheel.

I'm "Masters", which basically is the top top level in the casino, on a Roulette table, it's probably $30 per point, and to be Masters you need 100,000 points, so my throughput gambling, immaterial to win/losing is over $3,000,000.

I'm now Masters until 31st March 2025 as I have already reached and exceeded the 100k for next year, actually currently 130,000 points, or $3.9m throughput.

Lots of people cringe when I explain the numbers, but the reality is that if I bet $30, I would get 1 point.

Then, from that $30 bet, I win, 35/1 odds, so now I get $1,050 win, plus my original $30, so $1,080.

Now I carry on playing with that win, assuming I don't win anything else, I have 37 points (1+36)

On Slots it's a lot easier, as it's $5 for one point, but the argument is that on slot you have no power to decide where as on card games you do.

I play Poker occasionally, previously I would play all the time, but my game has always been Roulette.

Ken.

Yes, the Royal Pinnacle status does transfer across to Celebrity, but you don't get as much.

Rumour has it that Royal are looking to consolidate both the Royal and Celebrity programs into one, so you have the same names/levels across both brands, including the casino levels as well.

Betterlife.

I only ever cruise with Royal.!

Ironic really isn't it.!

I get too many benefits with Royal now, I basically don't pay for anything on the ship anymore.

I get priority access on, the same as top suite guests.

I get 4 x Wifi devices

I get unlimited drinks in the casino

I get 6 x free drinks anywhere else

I get access to the Suite Lounge, and Suite Restaurant and Suite Sun decks

I get Free play, OBC, and Casino Masters Credit

I never pay for a cruise as they are always comp'd by the casino anyway, 99% of the time in a Suite

I could probably get equivalent Casino benefits on other lines, but I wouldn't get all the other perks I get now being Pinnacle (Which is Royals Top Top Tier) - 700 Nights (350 in a Suite). I have 1,200.......!!!!

Betterlife, well, you need to do better as well.

A very disappointing return from my cruise.!

It's ok though, you have a chance of redemption. I'm off again back to Miami on 7th, returning back to the UK 26th March, so hopefully by then we will be £17.!

What's Hot On 20th Feb.....

Look, Your claim to fame..

Your message to me about SuperDry.....

WOOHOO.

LOL

See the Media link on this page.

2 minutes, 44 seconds into it..

There is YOUR MESSAGE TO ME...........

https://www.lse.co.uk/media/CCL/what-s-hot-20th-february-2024-pm6dvl9b66y7h24.html

Yep.

Unfortunately Exec's are expected to just keep all their shares that they receive from the options forever, and when they sell it's seen as negative, however, I don't believe that is the reason for the fall.

Royal and NCL are all down as well, and all travel is poor, so this isn't a CCL thing.

Whatever the situation, I still believe this has some huge legs thru 2024 and 2025.

Fordy.

Don't want to buy Superdry, because if I do, it will tank.!

Luckily, still, I'm staying even somehow.

All my Travel is down, but somehow all my funds are screaming ahead and covering every loss in all the travel stocks I have.

One day.........one day...........it's all going to align and I will be a very very happy camper.!

You would think that this is the bottom of CCL, but who knows.......the only challenge is that when it moves, we know it moves...... Of course, it needs to jump 30% to equal what you sold out on, so maybe it's time to jump back in with a free 30%+ profit again from your previous sold price.

I Sold IAG at 150, and thought I was getting a steal when it dropped back to 149, now look.!

Mobico just announced a delay in results, which caused a 10% drop.!

I'm having a great return day.! LOL

By the looks of everything is going to be another drop day, not that I expected less, after buying even more shares yesterday.

Now back up to 45,000 to try to bring my current avg down a bit.

It just re-shows you that the £13.50+ at Xmas was a very good point to jump ship.

Hopefully Fordy has stayed out and is waiting for the start of a bounce before jumping back in, of course, how much lower can this go before it truly starts it's upwards projection ready for the March results, which per the numerous announcements to date should be another recording breaking set.

BeeJay.

On week one, at one point I was $12,000 down, and managed to get back to even.

At the start of week two, I was $5,000 up, mid week I was $12,000 down again, and by day 6 I got back to even, so stopped.

Good Luck.!

Happy Presidents Day.!

One job.

All I said, was £14 by the time I got home......

Remember at school, with the school reports, well....... "Try Harder"....

Morning all......

I'm back.............

Two weeks, Zero losses in the casino, two more free cruises picked up, going to book in Jan 2025, and now home for 17 days before flying back over to Miami again.

Last post.!

Have fun for the next two weeks.

I will be watching the shares.!

I will be back when we are at £14, in two weeks time.!

Be careful out there.!

We closed at $16.40, after hours it's now $16.38, but at 4pm EST, it did close at $16.44.

So, we will probably be even Monday morning

So Blackrock has 5.8% of CCL now.?

and the SP drops......!!

The worlds largest fund taking a hit........ something wrong......

https://www.carnivalcorp.com/node/73976/html

25c drop since our close.

So basically, the week has literally been UP / UP / UP / UP&DOWN / UP&DOWN

We started the week at 1140, finished at 1178, but so far, after hours, we've lost 18p, so basically we are going to start Monday where we started this Monday......WOOHOO

WHF.

I am the best day trader in the world.

I have successfully traded every stock.

I consistently buy at the top and sell at the bottom.

I have single handedly supported the MM's profit margins for the last two years.

I only have two claims to fame.

1. I Had Genedrive, didn't realise I had it, it went from 9p to £3, and I sold in late £2's.

2. I had 75k CCL shares, and sold when they were £13.50 back in August ish time before re-buying 20k after spreading some of the money around. In fairness, I have made a fortune (and not a small fortune either) through CCL, so despite my moaning, it's all in perspective.

The rest of my trades have been classics..... Selling RR one day before it rose 30% to buy more IAG for example....

Sun.

Thanks.

What the F*CK has the jobs report got to do with UK travel stocks, like Easyjet, TUI, Mobico etc.

CCL, ok, at least it's a US stock....

Well.

I have no idea what happened at 1.30pm UK Time, but that's when all travel started to drop.

Now CCL, as per usual, has taken the drop to another level again.

40p up, 50p down, 40p up, 30p down, 40p up, 40p down.

I looked back to the beginning of January, and only looked at the bigger drops.

If someone could have read them, they would have made £12 a share with the ups/downs in the last month.

They literally would have had free shares with the price changes up and down, within one month.
