Our cruise specialist has said they have had a few cancellations due to economic circumstances but bookings remain very strong. Let's see if tomorrow's Autumn statement impacts things. K

Topo, I like both ships but likely Aurora, then Arcadia will be disposed of next.
22 and 19 years old respectively with Carnival fleet now average 12 years old. K

We're getting off as you get on, 22 nights Caribbean/ Transatlantic. K

Pre market showing slightly down but still early yet. K

Topo, to be fair, a lot of those items have not been available for some time but agree with with you, it is not what we knew before. Regards K.

I have a neighbour who is a senior manager in the debt trading division of a large US bank.
She said last year they were trading Carnival debt for 60 pence on the Pound, this year it has narrowed to over 80 pence per Pound so they are not trading it currently. Positive I'd say. K

Furion , I top sliced a couple of hundred CCL at £1.50 profit per share. K

Very positive. Added more today, upped my average but happy to do so . K

I've suggested to GUN that they look at Premier African Minerals PREM. After years of no progress they are now on the cusp of great things. Their Zulu mine in Zimbabwe has huge Lithium and they are being courted by the Chinese with one company providing funds for the mine start up which expected Feb 23. Worth a look. K

P&O new Excel class Arvia is now in the water awaiting finishing touches . Expected in Southampton in December for maiden voyage on 23/12 (albeit the original maiden was cancelled) K

Tame advisors, usually 50% below their indication. K

Presume it's the apathy towards commodities holding us back. It would be nice to find some Lithium at one of the mines, that's hot. Lol. K

It’s taken a long time to recover from Wilkinson’s ill advised international expansion. Obviously COVID didn’t help but other recruiters have done much better. K

After reading all that positive stuff below, someone checked out yesterday lunchtime and dragged us back. Had hoped we were on the up. K

Devil/APR Thanks for that, good to get your updates. K

EC jinxed it, again. K

At the interest they are paying, I'd lend them a few bob. K

There is another level of security on P&O. The ships now have a team from Robert Peel Ltd onboard who are there to support the security team. Most ex police, we had breakfast with their team leader on Ventura, he was former Chief Inspector in Cheshire.

You better be careful on Aurora, you know how wild that ship gets , pre 10pm that is. Lol K

Topo, Yes , sailed with Captain Turnbull several times. He hosted our table at the Peninsula lunch back in the day when the Officers joined us. K
