We have been on 15 cruises + total in the last 12 years, about 10 of''em was on Carnival. Until about 2008 Carnival was OK, then it started to slide down cutting service, food quality and variety.
One of the last Carnival cruises from Tampa to Cozumel our state room was freezing cold and they were not able or willing to fix the problem, neither they offered any compensation for that. I also noticed that Carnival ships were cheaply made in Italy, Carnival obviously did not make much effort to keep them safe and sound as the latest "incidents" prove.
Other cruise companies like Royal Caribean have their ships built in Finland and if you,ve been on both you'll see the difference in construction quality.

I do not plan to sail on any Carnival ship until they really get their act together if they ever will.

As for CCL stock I never owned it, but I plan to buy some serious puts if the market auction warrants it.

Hard reality sets up. Abandon this Titanic ! ...

Did I say Concordia ?

Who cares about "cheap" cruise to Asia? Most people go cruising to enjoy good food and have a good time not to "save" on the trip. If I want cheap, unhealthy, greasy and lousy food I go to local Chinese restaurant LOL.
Make sure you buy some CCL stock for the money you save on "cheaper cruise" to Asia.

This statement is unfair to BP, LOL

BP has tons of cash, they will settle the lawsuits and always make money. World still runs of oil, they are "too big to fail" British gov will bail them out in worst case scenario.

BP stock at $40 paying solid dividends is a buy, and they every gallon of fuel they produce MAKES PROFIT.

Buying BP for my IRA and sleeping sweet . He He he.
