Aspers, word is they have an "arrangement" pending for their cruise operations.

Buyout , partnership, management plan, don't know but they have been seeking a solution for sometime. K

Welcome back Bots.

Love your optimism but don't see it.

I would love to be proved wrong though. K

How much is down to Trump's sabre rattling in the Caribbean, the main destination for US based vessels? K

We're Iona for 5 weeks from Jan 3rd.

We did 7 weeks B2B this year and it was excellent so I'll be miffed if it's anything less. K

Flinn, That's nice to hear, welcome aboard. K

Bot bots £25 by end 2025 looking a bit if a stretch 😉

Hi Bhants, Apparently it is already off Iona .

P&O have not renewed their contract with Sky.

Starlink is already available on most ships.

Like you, I dont need the Internet.

I do like Sky News though as it gives more UK news than the BBC Worldwide.

Sports 24 will still be available for the footy!

P&O have or are dropping Sky News and Sky Sports News from their onboard TV channels.

Another cutback creating more disenchantment with the brand. K

Thanksgiving coming up a traditional time for holiday booking as families gather.

Strong or weak bookings can impact the SP.

Enjoy the weekend all. K

Anxiety,

I'm still backing Gunsynd , GUN to come good.

SP doesn't reflect known asset value and prospects look excellent. K

I'll let you know in February Bhants..

Just received notification of Shareholder OBC added to our account.

I've been investigating Saga cruises after a glowing recommendation from a neighbour.

Cheers/K

YR. Meanwhile reducing the quality of the product. K

I'm hearing plenty from Her Ladyship who sold at £21 +, Bhants. 🙄

I think as we get bigger vessels, the passenger mix becomes less discerning regarding food.

Drinks packages and booze take priority, that's where the profits are. K

Bhants,

Malteser. We did 49 nights on Iona in Jan/ Feb, it was excellent. We are back on for 35 nights in Jan. We had so much OBC that we rarely dined in the MDR, preferring the speciality restaurants. Enjoy, I hope it goes well. K

To finish,

Every night for 37 nights before the mutiny.

Then they appeared just every fourth night🙄

I remember in our 2017 World cruise ln Arcadia they served soggy green beans e

The hurricanes can impact future cruise itineraries too. Remember not long ago several popular destination ports were trashed and closed for sometime. Tortola and St Maarten come to mind but SM was back in limited operation quite quickly.

The market reaction to RCI is weird. K

Nervous of the outcome in China, Bhants.

The hurricane doesn't help cruise lines either.

Cheers/K
