If it get 's into the $5 range I may try my luck at that price. Holding onto my Carnival stock though. It's the small size of NCL that makes me less confident they will see it through. Do your research, but also check how many new ships with all cruise lines will come on board in the next few years. NCL/Oceania alone has 10 ordered in just the next 7 years. Add in Carnival, RC and all the others and you have LOTS of ships. Some might say TOO many, but we shall see. What this means is its possible all won't survive. There lots of bets on the China market, but it might not turn out a rosy as some had assumed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil was about $65 in early January, I think you are 3 months too late for that move now. There may be more long term gains on the upside, then downside. $25-30 is usually a buying range, rather then a selling range. How much downside is there at this price?????

The flip side is how can NCL take delivery of 6 lenardo ships when they can't pay for the ones that they have now (and have to put up their current ship up as collateral)? Cruise lines have done it before, but I assume it was incredibly expensive with lots of penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upslash Posted March 13, 2020 #208 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I'm trying to decide if I should refund my CruiseNext deposits while I'm still in the 30 day refund period. Starting to seriously wonder if this company will go bankrupt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A botched plane, a halted travel industry, factories laying off, cancelled plane orders. That high flyin' stock was up to almost $450 a year ago, today $155, and I wouldn't touch it now. Circumstances can change real fast sometimes. The cruise/travel industry is going to be in trouble for some time. I don't see the government bailing them out, they are foreign registered ships, mostly all foreign workers, why would our government care about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to leave $65 behind two weeks ago when it could no longer be used for gratuity vouchers for butler and concierge. Recent rule change from previous cruises. About all it is good for now is buying discounted NCL merchandise. IMHO it is best used for Cruise Next Certificates, that's what I always use it for. Although you only had $65 if you had added $85 of your own money you could have walked off with a $250 discount of your next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't actually a case of not understanding the possible uses, it was the fact that I had assumed the OBC got used up as I had intended, and as it had been in the many previous cruises. I didn't look at my final statement, making that assumption, until off the ship. We have in the past had left over OBC the we had to use up. We ended up buying NCL trinkets whether we needed them or not. And yea, I usually have a Future Cruise Credit or two on my account. The are a good deal.....or at least have been. What they are going to be worth now remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenders will defer payments if the industry is shut down, otherwise they know they would get pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy. This isn't an NCL problem, it's an industry/world problem.
