Who wants to go on a cruise this season with all this swine flu fear mongering on the TV and interwebs today??
And when Bob and Jane can barely scrape by each month, are worried about thier jobs and are underwater on their home loan, do you think they'll be booking a cruise?
Me no like.

All expenses are paid in the summer when carnival is performing their cruises, but customers usually book their trips in the summer, so they are gaining money very quickly throughout the cooler months.

1. consumer spending,
2. swine flu
* at recent price points advertised on their website ($139 for weekend cruise to baja from socal) they must be losign money. this is not at all unlike what happens to airlines when excess capacity leads to price wars in which companies operate at a loss before removing excess capacity.

If the swine flu nearly as dangerous as it has been said, cruises are going to be the last resort for people.

The company is slowly getting hit by a triple whammy: deteriorating consumer spending, rising fuel prices, and contagious epidemics.

Cruises are inherently a cheaper alternative on a per-day basis to land-based modes of vacationing. Profits ultimately depend on occupancy rates and on-board, neither of which has hit numbers that suggest the industry is hemorrhaging despite that we've likely seen the worst as far as hysteria is concerned.

Shadowing JStegma. My personal view is that this is a LUXURY item -- and the economy stinks. Last but not least, energy prices are not helping.

This next quarter will be difficult, with the swine flu adding to the recession pressures. But look for the corner to be turning. The company acted aggressively by suspending its dividend to preserve cash, while other companies (such as GE) were still in denial. As a result, Carnival is well-situated to get through the recession, and begin a long upward climb as profits increase and the dividend is restored within the next 6-12 months.

An extremely loyal customer base will help them 'cruise' through the recession.

Who wants to go on a floating disease incubator to such fabulous destinations as Mexico, New Zealand, or Europe? Vacation stocks were already suffering from the recession and prices were slashed bare-bone to entice some income....now a potential pandemic is going to all but break the industry. It's going to be just like the baseball strikes...the strike may end, but the bitter taste will far outlast...

Carnival Corporation, I just recently discovered that this company is more than just carnival cruise lines - here's what they are:
Carnival Corporation & plc is a global cruise company and one of the largest vacation companies in the world. Our portfolio of leading cruise brands includes Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn Cruise Line in North America; P&O Cruises, Cunard Line and Ocean Village in the United Kingdom; AIDA in Germany; Costa Cruises in southern Europe; Iberocruceros in Spain; and P&O Cruises in Australia.
What intrigues me about this is that I booked a cruise in January that sets sail in late March. As of today all cabins are in a 'wait list' status. You basically cannot book a cabin on that cruise or any of the similar cruises in March. I think this is pretty crazy considering the current state of the economy. Are the cruise lines trying to make people think that they're all booked up?!?!? Or are they really booked up?!?!? My gut feeling is that they ARE booked and business is booming for them. I'll know for sure once I get on the ship, but for now my feeling is that if they're fililng the boats during these tough times, then how can things not get better for them in the future?!?!?
