Re: who dabbles in shares ? ?

thanks for the shares to look at folks

not sure where the hatred of Cruising comes from, its not for some i can see, but plenty enjoy it, my wife has a client who is a " P&O Baltic loyality club member " she spent 170ish nights at sea in the 3 years before Covid, they love cruising, they are toying with when lifes gets to much for them in the house they own, just cruise non-stop

I hope they get them ships back out to sea and making money again as loads of jobs depend on it ( oh and my shares )

Cruise ships are an environmental disaster. That's certainly where some of the hatred comes from.

Yeah and all most all of the major European cities are pushing back on the volume. I wouldn't be surprised to see a mass shooting by a local in either Venice or Barcelona should they return to same pre-covid volume.

I don't harbour hatred for those who go from harbour to harbour.

Re: who dabbles in shares ? ?

As I work in the world of maritime charting I went to a day's convention about 'The Blue Economy' (i.e. the maritime economy) about 10 years ago and learned that even then the passengers from just one cruise liner could spend up to $3M a day in the locations they stopped at. It's no wonder that dancing girls and local drummers wait at the quays to cream off some of the incoming loot.
The cruise lines try to outdo each other in finding more obscure locations but where the local ports need money from them to develop the ports and ensure that safe passage in and out of them are possible (which can be hairy at times). As a result, the cruise liners and ports concerned request that the areas are charted anew by the relevant charting authorities.
One amusing phenomenon is the fact that passengers like to see the routes on various electronic monitors around the ships (apparently) - and that the cruise lines try and fudge the official charts so that unappealing locations such as Hog Harbour are shown as Champagne Beach.

Re: who dabbles in shares ? ?

whats you got going on

At the start of C19 i noticed both Disney and cruise companies stock plummeted

I went for Cruise company shares ( split over a few Companies )

Disney had 1/2'ed in price, but have since returned to pre C19 prices, so I missed that one

Of course, Cruise's havent yet, Im keeping hold of them as they must stand a good chance of returning

just looking for something else :sherlock:

Problem with cruising is that it is a breeding ground for sickness bugs in normal times with the highest risk category of people predominately on board so with Covid it is an absolute nightmare scenario.

That being said with high vaccination rates in the 1st world countries, older generations who normally cruise in larger numbers will be itching to travel at the nearest opportunity, so I can see possible big upsides in the large cruise companies.
