Carnival Corp Has a Future

[LocoLoco1]

It appears CCL is finally showing it’s Corporate hand a bit more; ie No big purchases of ships. Wondering if they will retire more than they bring on line?

They have already sold 3 additional ships. 2 Costa and 1 from the somewhere else under the CCL umbrella. They haven't stated the names of the ships yet, but were specific that they were sold not scrapped.

Not a surprise in view of their precarious financial situation. Unfortunately, they anticipate a 3% growth in capacity in 2023, despite the ships they intend to sell. 

 

All it means is that they're slowly shedding the culture of breakneck growth. I see no evidence that they'll re-organize the brands in a rational way. That's what they need to do in order to thrive.

RCL, NCL, and especially MSC are continuing to order new builds. Time will tell if CCL’s retrenchment with respect to new ships is a prudent strategy or another factor to a downward spiral.

It sounds to me that somebody at CCL listened when told "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."
