For some us that have sat at the final table and have a little extra age (just a little mind you) around the middle, the tee shirts were never the right size and Carnival or Player club would not exchange. One less gift to buy I suppose. BJ tournaments were always fun though.

Carnival CEO Donald mentioned Carnival should be EBITDA should be positive by summer due to strong future bookings, that should be positive for the stock. However, all cruise stocks took on significant debt and issued more shares to stay afloat during the pandemic. With increasing interest rates it will not be profitable to re-finance the debt, though they may have to due to when the debt comes due. They will not re-instate the dividend for several years to come. If you cruise routinely, you can get a 7% return by buying 100 shares at 14 and taking the $100 OBC (100/1400). Not bad. Any other investment decision is dependent on your risk appetite.

Nice to hear, I am going on her in October.

Look at your insurance policy, some policies have a "Cancel for any Reason" clause but that may not cover the whole trip. My policy, for an upcoming cruise, is with AIG covers 50% of the amount. To claim that, the party has to miss the trip. A claim will need to be filed with the insurance company after the loss.
