[Bopper155]

CCL Fleetwide, per the link below, 84% average on ALL CCL cruise ships (up from 69% average last quarter).

Carnival Corporation's occupancy across its fleet of nine cruise brands is heading in the right direction, with third quarter occupancy coming in at 84 percent.

"Occupancy was 84%, a 15-percentage-point increase from the second quarter," said David Bernstein, executive vice president and CFO, on the company's third quarter earnings call.

"We ended the quarter on a high note with 90% occupancy in the month of August. We were encouraged by the continued very close-in demand we experienced during the third quarter for the third quarter, a trend we had anticipated."

Yes big beating, Thanks and good luck to the both of us

[Bopper155]

Very nice. Best wishes on the $7.50's.

I picked up $8s and $9s two weeks out.

We took a beating today with the quarterly announcement, combined with the overall market drop.

GLTA CCL longs.

[restripe]

Picked up a bunch of call options 7.50 for next week

… ROFLMFAO … $CCL

Who’s ready for $3 covid cruise line kindling?

[50 MIL STRONG]

Buy/ sell is a bullshit distraction. Every trade is a buy and a sell matched.
It was a clean after market trade with no T-trade label.
A real and true trade. IMO

[Bopper155]

50 MIL STRONG - impressive trade. Maybe you could educate me a little. Not listed as a sell initiated, nor a buy. What do you think ? A trade between MMs? Dare I say - dilution from CCL Corporate ?? What are your thoughts? If any. Thanks.

CCL - slowly making upwards progress. It really seems to be following the S&P and the DJIA for its trend.

Earnings announcement this Friday.

[50 MIL STRONG]

Massive Carnival trade after hours today. Almost $10 million trade.

[Bopper155]

Future CCL quarterly growth shows positive improvements. COVID is in the past. The future is POSITIVE, maybe slowly, but POSITIVE !!!

GLTA CCL longs.

[@LaughinPaulRyan]

… too bad covid cruise lines is capsized and correcting downwards currently as the currents rip holes in what’s left of the bag holders families retirement funds … #LootWallStreet #ROFLMFAO #ToldYouSo #EatLOSSES

[Seminole Red]

yep, IMO they will make more soon enough

[50 MIL STRONG]

Even the poorest traders could have made rent the last 3 months on the swings of CCL.

[Seminole Red]

perception from investors wanting to get in early can bypass any charts and cause a push, ya never know

[Seminole Red]

hope its a short dream

[50 MIL STRONG]

LMAO! This is a trader's dream.

well, this stock has been beat up pretty good

[Bopper155]

No, this CCL board is usually pretty quiet. Only 142 followers. Most hoping for upside gains, a couple looking for the negative. Traders like stocks that make big moves, or cyclic.

Lately, CCL seems to be following the S&P/Dow trend. Up days, the pps heads positive, down days CCL share price follows. Obviously, there are exceptions.

The three major cruise lines trend similarly.

Since COVID, the CCL dividend is gone, lots of added debt, and lots more CCL shares.

Feel free to join us and post as you desire. As long as the posting rules are followed, you are certainly welcome (FWIW -- I am a CCL long-term long)

[Seminole Red]

well, this stock has been beat up pretty good

[mikoli007]

Not a lot of people seem to post here concerning CCL!

[Seminole Red]

Shares of Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) rose 6.3% yesterday after the American cruise line operator announced that booking activity nearly doubled compared to 2019 levels, thanks to easing travel restrictions. Shares ended the day up 4.5% at $11.19 on August 16. Although mid-August is not generally a busy time for cruise reservations, CCL experienced a surge in bookings and a favorable response to its flexible travel policies. Carnival Cruise Eases Travel Restrictions On August 12, Carnival announced new norms for voyages of less than 16 nights, effective September 6, 2022. These include no testing for vaccinated guests as well as eliminating the exemption request process for unvaccinated guests

[Bopper155]

Agree. I do not expect to see CCL at the old $60 range for many years due to increased shares and debt, but a return to the $20-25+ range is easily reachable this coming year (bearing any negative World issues impacting travel). I am looking at the $30-40 range for the next year or two. IMO - CCL currently is still a bargain.

GLTY. GLTA CCL longs.

P.S. Some analysts show the dividend returning in late 2023 or early 2024. That too, will aid CCL pps increase.

[Seminole Red]

speaking of long term.....this stock should stabilize into a long term rising month after month now that they are back on the water

[Stock Guy777]

Amen!! because they realize it does absolutely nothing against the virus. The only thing it could possibly do is cause more harm long-term to your cells

[Bopper155]

Another CCL travel impediment removed !! The CCL Profits are coming !! THE CDC cannot stop us.

As Admiral David Farragut stated -- "Full speed ahead, darn those COVID torpedoes".


Or, something like that.

GLTA CCL longs.

[Seminole Red]

ALL ABOARD: Unvaccinated passengers will no longer be required to file a request for a vaccine exemption. https://fxn.ws/3QKR2Vk

[Seminole Red]

yay

[Bopper155]

CCL - Carnival previously announced ALL the Carnival Cruise Line ships were restored to active service.

The attached announcement identifies ALL Princess Cruise Line ships will be back in service and carrying passengers. The last two to join the active fleet (Diamond and Sapphire) on Sept 1, and Sept 24.

CCL increased profits to follow accordingly.

[ortco1]

Yes should be a lot higher

[Seminole Red]

hmmmm, maybe heADED BACK UP....WONDER HOW LONG IT TAKES TO RECOVER BILLIONS

[resx18]

$CCL on watch

[Seminole Red]

yep

[Bopper155]

Folks like to cruise on CCL !! Carnival reports 3 MILLION cruisers since the cruising industry resumed operations. Impressive that one MILLION of those passengers were in the most recent 75 days. Many full ships are adding to CCL profits.

I do not have a link, but somewhere I heard CCL 'may' be profitable THIS quarter. Expectations previously was profitablity not until the first quarter of 2023. Other cruise lines are doing good, airlines are picking up. Time will tell.
