Financial situation of cruise lines?

[Pelle]

Considering the financial mess NCL has been in the last couple years

I wonder if it is a big risk these days paying in advance. We are going on a Mediterranean cruise this summer and wonder if anyone knows the financial situation for Costa, Royal Caribbean and MSC?

Costa is owned by Carnival. I believe both Carnival and Royal Caribbean are in fine shape. MSC is private I think it's owned by some Greek shipping tycoon or something like that so I don't know how you'd get its financials.

Just google the lastest quarterly reports for Carnival Corp and RCI or google them for forward statements on the current quarter results.
