Carnival Does Not Re-instate Fuel Supplement
Thursday, June 11th, 2009After Carnival took away the fuel supplement, they said they could re-instate it should oil prices rise about $70/barrel. Well, over the past couple days they did rise above that level. However, Carnival issued a statement saying they wouldn’t re-instate the supplement due to economic conditions. I’m sure if prices continue to rise they will [...]

Cruise Lines Being Hit by Swine Flu
Monday, April 27th, 2009So far no incidents of swine flu have been reported on a cruise ship, and I hope none ever do. But the cruise lines themselves are taking a toll, along with other travel companies. Carnival’s stock fell almost $4 per share today, that’s nearly 15% in one day! Royal Caribbean took an even bigger hit, [...]
Carnival Stock
Friday, April 3rd, 2009For quite a few years, probably since about 2002, I wanted to buy stock in Carnival. Back then I had no money, and when I finally did have some money to buy stock, Carnival’s price was in the $40s. Well, several days ago, I checked out CCL again just out of curiosity. To my surprise, [...]
The Future’s Looking a Little Brighter
Thursday, March 19th, 2009Still no cruise booked, but there are more possibilities now. And my parents seem to definitely want to cruise now. The question now remains: which one? Our options at this point are: A cruise with friends. This would most likely be the 5-day Canada cruise. My grandmother just booked a 7-day western Caribbean cruise. It [...]
Still No Cruise Decided
Monday, March 2nd, 2009Usually by this time in the year we’re counting down to our next cruise. Unfortunately, we have yet to book one! As of right now, we seem to have two options: A cruise with our friends. We haven’t cruised with them in years and my parents want to go on another vacation with them. They [...]
Happy New Year
Thursday, January 1st, 2009I just want to wish everyone reading this a happy 2009!
Music Brings Back Memories
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008One of the things I love to during on cruises is either walk around or people-watch while listening to my music. I can do it for hours, and it keeps me away from the buffet in between activities (although I do stroll that way every once in a while). For the past couple years, it [...]
Fuel Supplements Being Eliminated
Monday, October 13th, 2008Carnival issued a statement on Friday stating that it will eliminate the fuel supplement on all new 2010 bookings. However, a price increase on those cruises will occur. For those who have cruises booked in 2008 or 2009, there’s a chance your fuel supplement charge might be refunded as well. Basically, if the price of [...]
