I get your point but when I bought my stock during Covid I was able to purchase our shares for less $9.00 a share we also bought Ncl stock. I don't know what Microsoft or Costco were going for during Covid but its's a safe bet for me that it was too expensive. I love cruising and having the stock has given me my money back and I can continue to enjoy an onboard credit. I do wish that we had been able to buy different stocks but such is life. It does seem to me that the amount of debt that Carnival among others is definitely slowing all the cruiselines recovery. But heres to more cruising for everyone.
