CCL offers another 1 Billion in common stock :(
mcrcruiser replied to BermudaBound2014's topic in Holland America Line
The time Micky the chairman at that time broke the deal that RCL had to buy Princess cruise line .He planed the deal break where RCL wound up getting a paltry 35 million for the break up . with out the Princess line reputation CCL will never have been the company they became before the pandemic .so just imagine how the management of RCL felt loosing Princess . I am sure if I dug into the financials I could come up with other examples but ,if you are curious please have at it . All I did was take out with my insurance default /BK to protect my investment for my 2 Holland Cruises . My other 4 cruises are with Celebrity & RCL ships I truly like HAL cruise line & hope it survives in it's very long sea faring traditions . CCL like all big corporation s are in it to get what ever they can get out of it & the top people "never " get hurt or the shaft -

Candidly I have found in its history that Carnival Corp is far more devious that heir rivals when it comes to these financing deals -

This type of lining ones pockets is nothing new with the top of the pyramid -

anyof the financing instruments carry high interest charges .This gives CCL the cash to operate but at a high debt service cost .Now compare the issuing of new billions of shares that pay no dividends ,now this is free money & no strings attached .That is the difference between issuing new shares any other debt instruments .Today Wednesday ,Oct 19 ,2022 CCL stock futures have turned red -

A possible solution just keep adding more stock to the bloat . already added 2 billion new shares so why not 3 or 4 more billion shares ? -
Why Doesn't Celebrity do a Round Trip Hawaii Cruise?
mcrcruiser replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Perhaps when we cruise on Soltice B2B & go to new cruises ,we can ralk to the rep & recommend that Celebrity bring back the round trip Hawaii cruise from San Diego .We are Elite Plus with X so we have come to really like sailing with Celebrity .Last time Hawaii was on the Infiniti like the OP was commenting as well . It was a really good cruise . We also did it on Century when she was in Service -
Why Doesn't Celebrity do a Round Trip Hawaii Cruise?
mcrcruiser replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Sorry I had a night mare dealing with Princess on how to down load their Ocean Ready program . since they hired new people post pandemic none of those people & over 6 hours on the phone had any clue of what to do . I still have the $934 FCC with Princess that expires after Dec21 ,2022 .I turned around & booked a B2B with Holland America from San Diego ,our home port because it was so easy for me to go into my account & out un all the pre boarding information as well as I immediately got all my bag tags . By Oct 27th I will have our 2 boarding passes The crappy experience I had with Princess drove me away for ever . I had no grudge against any cruise line but what those people did who were totally untrained was never to be forgotten BTW high jacking this thread to tout Princess is against Cruise Critic rules This is the Celebrity Board not the pro Princess board 😡 -

Masks no longer required for crew members
mcrcruiser replied to scubacruiserx2's topic in Holland America Line
That can depend if there are no cases detected on board ;however ,if cases are detected then I would be almost positive that masks would be mandatory -
So we can then anticipate that this 18% is also included in both Tamarind & Canaletto specialty restaurants meals

Does anyone know if HAL's Kpningsdam will be doing a October or November 2024 R/T SD to Hawaii ? .We like to book it early on . TIA for the info

We have had to sail on Holland America recently for a R/T SanDiego to Hawaii .not that HAL is a bad cruise line but we are Elite + & would enjoy this cruise . We had done that cruise on the Infiniti in the past long ago

mcrcruiser replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
Several cruises come to mind with HAL .you can enjoy a trans Atlantic coupled with a B2B cruise . flying across the Atlantic is then reduced to one way flight . coming back to the states from Europe you fly in the day time . Going to Europe are red eye flights . Another interesting cruise is south America & the ant Artic or WestCoast usually from San Diego to Australia -
True but this is present tense . I just bought a lot more US Gold coins . Try & get them now as most dealers are all sold out . Those people know that real trouble is brewing with our economy & US dollar having only value based on the GDP which is now shrinking . In notthe too distant future a new currency backed by precious metals . This had yo come as the debt can never be paid off . Also all control has been by the printing of fiat dollars . Don't be fooled by what you see . There is a whole lot going on that is not seen ,

mcrcruiser replied to Boatdrill's topic in Holland America Line
We hope that HAL's scheduling dept . gets the Kuningsdam to service Sam Diego late in 2023 /early 2024 like to do a Hawaii R/T cruise again -
Love all of this . Well we are Diamond for ever because we are Elite Plus with Celebrity , We have no idea how many RCL cruises we would need to reach D+ We still get the 4 drink daily & the Diamond Lounge😁 On Celebrity cruises we do get more perks but we still like RCL for certain cruises

CCL stock closed this past Friday October 14 ,2022 at a whopping $7.13 up .03cents for the day . imo buy it get the OBC credits & sell it . with this economy & a world that us headed into global Recession ,travel related anything imo is a bad investment other than the perks & then get out ,holding CCL is like gambling .Personally I am triple shorting the S&P 500 because I see very very dark clouds for stocks & bonds .imo best bet now is own a lot of gold & silver 😁

We booked Navigator of the Seas in a handicap balcony stateroom for October 23 ,2023 7 night & then the the B2B 4 night we booked for the October 30 ,2023 cruise Although we are Diamond level we hadn't been on a RCL ship since September 2017 when we did the Canada /New England cruise So ,we would appreciate any one who can tell us what is a must see or do aboard this ship . We have done this itinerary more times than I can remember on different cruise lines including RCL ,so every port we know very well . We are more interested on the ship itself & what we don't want to miss . I have all the deck plans on Cruise Ship Decl Plans -- this is all you need type in & click Public viewing for any cruise ship deck plans Thanks in advance for your secrets 😃
