I long ago paid for it. Now is payback. It is true insurance premiums for some have shot up, but more so because of covid hospitalizations and treatments. Testing and early treatment saves money. Proactive is better than reactive.

What expertise does he have, other than being a beard? He isn't a cruise expert. Carnival has never had trouble raising money. The institutions that have bought their junk bonds will keep buying them to protect their investment. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Sounds sexist. Bester than what you said was best. Considering the restart of cruising was barely a year ago, and entire fleets are sailing, the bestest is yet to come.

I expect that will happen, but a different covid-19 vaccine is being worked on and is in clinicals. It may well transition into a universal vaccine. https://www.wrair.army.mil/node/645

At an Urgent Care facility associated with a state university and hospital that accepts insurance. Some Urgent Care places are definitely for profit. I have always said it was testing for a cruise. I won't know if I'm being charged since it has to be processed by insurance first and my insurance is slow. No, I won't lie. Won't pull tips. Won't cheat at trivia. Etc.

I have yet to pay for a test. We cruise again next month.

When there is a universal coronavirus vaccine, I could see that happening. We aren't there.

Very misleading subject. Only on a few cruises in Europe. Considering covid is present on every US cruise, and given that the US is the poster child for poor covid response, testing will never end in the US. 5 years ago a pandemic was unfathomable. How did that work out? Now it is just a matter of time before the next one appears.

Summer just began a couple of weeks ago.

First time - months ago, it was a learning experience. I think it is great and works well. Next time I may put a picture of a cat and see if they notice.

Expert? Arnold Donald came from Boeing. When was the 737 Max program announced? 2011. I Bonds are paying 9.62%. 12.7% to refinance and push debt out would be cheap. No comment on your obsession with lipstick. 3rd quarter is looking even bester.

The latest 10-Q doesn't include the summer season. Check back in the fall.

I went with someone who received interline rates and it was cheap. The flights were, too. It was sort of casual, but they did strongly discourage me from entering the dining room in jeans. Back in the day, we made the current Cheers cruisers look like lightweights. Drunks know no class boundaries.

I looked at two test results and no reason for the test was obvious

I've always told the providers I need the test for travel. I've never look at the results beyond seeing that I was negative. I'll try to find one to check.

I cruised on Windstar once - when they were owned by Carnival Corp! 😁

It was probably refunded to your shipboard account.

It could happen. But as Arnold Donald is still at the helm, perhaps not. Lame Duck, doncha know. While the SEC can't send anyone to jail, they can work with the DOJ if fraudulent statements are filed. It simply isn't worth it.

Egos with too much money looking for Camelot and to avoid riff raff. Then the existing cruisers on those lines need to step up their game to avoid the newcomers.

My bad. I got my bean counters mixed up.

Supposed to be

A 10-Q is required quarterly. Not exactly the same as 10-K, oh well. https://www.carnivalcorp.com/static-files/97d4e1f7-cee5-4668-bf73-28940ff14e83 A schedule of debt repayment is in the document, with most debt not being due until after 2026 and I expect Carnival to keep refinancing future debt to keep it manageable.

and now we are in the busy summer season with higher occupancy rates, higher prices, and more ships sailing. The bean counter signing off on most (all?) of the financial information is replacing Arnold Donald when he steps down, so he should have a good idea of what is going on.

It is recommended to unload a gun before starting to clean it, but it is not required.

No, it doesn't. You highlighted a number for 6 months, not for the 2nd quarter.
