I can sum up the potential of this stock in just one word: CUBA. They already have the navigation charts, potential sail date routines and a ready made customer base...plus it uses far less fuel to go to Cuba than to Mexico or the East… More

"If the flu would be much more significant then what we’ve seen so far then that is not included in the guidance that we’re giving." [from earnings transcript]

Bad news for RCL if anyone switches on the TV these days. Obama already declared a National Emergency over swine flu, and we have barely seen anything yet.

Bummer about that $6.8 billion in total debt as of June 30. Just as the global re/de-pression starts to kick in RCL is rolling out top of the line(rs) new cruise ships aimed at the high-end market. Around the world. With a jobless recovery and swine flu kicking off.

Ouch.

I can sum up the potential of this stock in just one word: CUBA. They already have the navigation charts, potential sail date routines and a ready made customer base...plus it uses far less fuel to go to Cuba than to Mexico or the East Caribbean....Buy now while it is still cheap.
