Enjoyed the straight forward reporting of the Icon fire. No unneeded drama or speculations.

[@jonathanweir8467]

Thank you for not being drama filled like another cruise update page. You are refreshing to listen to!

[@CruiseRadio]

haha , thanks for watching.

[@archiescottincny]

Thanks for the no-drama update and your continued fair reporting.

[@CruiseRadio]

I appreciate you.

[@regularguyfritz9450]

Shocked me for a minute there, with the posted Royal stock price! “My stock went up by how much!?” 😲😅

[@CruiseRadio]

Haha

[@user-st4zj3ci7r]

😆🤣😆🤣😆

[@jamesnunez1703]

Nice work icon fire team. Fire was extinguished and no injuries. 👍

[@firstof3cooks]

When I saw that Royal Caribbean was up to $260, I was like, I should bought some of that stock!! It was a typo. Glad Carnival stock is rising too.

[@lorib1925]

I know I thought that is a high jump. Time to sell lol

[@SeaLegJourneys]

Hurray!! Carnival stock finally going up. Thanks for the great news Doug, Happy Wednesday!

[@CruiseRadio]

Thanks for watching. Happy Wednesday !

[@tillyortiz346]

Wow 92 million for carnival but stocks still low LOL.....Im sure you've been told on screen you show RC 260 not 160....Still blowing everyone out of the Water

[@EagleRockers]

Wanted to take a cruise on the Icon next Spring but the prices for a simple balcony cabin are astronomical!

[@CruiseRadio]

Utopia looks good pricing wise on some sailings for a short cruise. Haven’t priced icon in a bit.

[@chyka7415]

Hello! Fire in a cruise ship is scary. Glad it was immediately contained.

[@CruiseRadio]

Hey stranger!!! Where on earth have you been?

[@chyka7415]

@@CruiseRadio busy working, and in between cruising. You can’t be the only one cruising! Glad you missed me😁.

[@georgemaltese]

Hi Doug, Great update. Interesting, Carnival profit up 92 million yet they cut chocolates and for Platinum, they no longer make St Jude donation. Okay.

[@gregmctevia5087]

Thanks, Doug.

[@CruiseRadio]

Very welcome

[@user-st4zj3ci7r]

Let's go Carnival with the $92 M! Now let's get that stock price up to a $25 price point. Hey Doug! I hop you are doing well.

[@CruiseRadio]

Man wouldn’t that be nice! Let’s go!!

[@mstern28]

Doug! I jumped for joy when i saw rcl at 260$!!! Then i came down like a lead balloon when i heard you say $160. Lol

[@CruiseRadio]

[@a.leehilliard4716]

Thank you, have a good Wednesday .

[@user-vl8hv8rt8c]

Thanks Doug for all your news. I thought the fire was a hoax when I first heard but I was wrong

[@CruiseRadio]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@markt.3454]

Mornin' Doug! It would appear sold out cruises and higher prices are here for the foreseeable future. Good for the cruise lines but, if everyone is going to be sold out, less incentive for lines to compete on service and customer experience.

[@karenross4706]

Happy “hump day”. Thank goodness all went well with the fire…scarey! Have an awesome day Doug!!!

[@CruiseRadio]

You got that right!

[@ArleenHarr]

Good morning Doug. 2038?? My husband will be 99 years old. Hope we will still be cruising by then.😂😂😂❤️❤️🛳️🛳️

[@ronniesquires]

[@BeefromSC]

GoodMorning Sandy.

[@andrewsabol5045]

Good morning Doug Thanks for the updates 👍 Have a great Wednesday 😊

[@CruiseRadio]

Thanks, you too!

[@rogersargent7232]

Hump Daayyyyyy Good morning Doug. Isn't this the 2nd time Icon has lost power🤔🤔is that why prices are so high I hope to get to Seattle sometime in the future

[@CruiseRadio]

Morning!

[@stevongibbons812]

Thanks for the update Doug.

[@CruiseRadio]

Any time!

[@TheRiverPirate13]

Good morning, Doug! Didn't the Icon lose power once before recently? Glad the fire was contained, and that the ship was docked!

[@birdofprey3098]

Well done Doug

[@CruiseRadio]

Thank you.

[@sharondalynnewton7562]

Scary

[@jkconner9636]

Any word on Carnival extension of their on board credit for stock holders? Word was it expired this year (‘24)

[@user-up9iq7ic8z]

When are You going to have a GROUP CRUSE ? I think You would have a bunch of Us... Good am Doug.

[@eminiarvii]

Morning Doug. Surprise i am here…😂😂Insomnia… Thx for the news have a great hump day🚢🙂

[@CruiseRadio]

GoodMorning. Thanks for watching .

[@sylviemarsolais7148]

Good morning, Glad the fire did not have serious consequences on this brand new ship. I guess selling cruises is highly profitable, as long as the guests are satisfied with the product. An unhappy guest may run away fast. Have a great Wednesday!😊

[@CruiseRadio]

Have an amazing Wednesday.

[@TripReviews]

Nice to see profits up. Now they can reduce comp cutbacks? 🤣. Maybe share values will finally increase!😁💰

[@CruiseRadio]

We shall see

[@tonypowell]

Good morning Doug

[@CruiseRadio]

Good morning Tony.

[@SHOE53]

Wow RCCL $260 but one can dream have a good Wednesday Doug

[@julieb7882]

I'm good with $160 for now. We should have bought more when it was around $35 in 2020.

[@CruiseRadio]

Have a nice Wednesday !

[@dianem1952]

Okay- $92 million positive for the second quarter for Carnival; yeah, I can see why they cut out giving St Jude t-shirts to their top tier Diamond returning passengers. NOT!!!!

[@Danrarbc]

Cost cuts are part of why they posted a profit. The fact that it worked is only going to encourage them to do it more.

[@edbloom4897]

$8B, wow....at 5% simple interest, that is $415M for one year. Where is that noted in the Financial Report?

[@BIendtecc]

I swear does RC pay some of these Instagram accounts to not post anything negative about them?? It’s just weird bc when Carnival has an issue I see these accounts post right away..

[@CruiseRadio]

It’s telling. Utopia of the Seas inaugural media cruise is around the corner. To stay on the list you have to play by the rules or ☠️.

[@anthonysadventures8241]

Hi Doug

[@CruiseRadio]

Hey Anthony.

[@flowers9933]

I love your pithy reporting.

[@katarzynalapinska1561]

No more Carnival for me and family I’m so disappointed in them! Carnival Venezia overbooked they don’t have enough either staff or room to do dinner on time!!! We did reservations at 6 we got called in for dinner at 9:20 I have a proof too it’s just wrong!! Have to do reservations and wait for this whatever they serve for dinner it’s the same stuff in buffet 😭 how sad?!? And dinner if you want steak you need to pay extra ladies and gentlemen!!! There is no area for children who are not potty trained can’t even wear swim diapers it’s just very cruel because they are special needs children who want to splash in water just no area 😢 Tell me how I ordered with my mother fried calamari paid $8 each it comes with fries waited for it 45 min and they were over fried didn’t taste fresh and next day buffet had it for free 🤦‍♀️ I mean that sounds like a rip off to me Not many choices in buffet either :/ What got me sad and angry at the same time I get it they need to make money of you somehow but this was just pure evil and wrong pictures time I had around 35 pictures and guess the prices for 25 pictures DIGITAL ONLY (no prints) almost $500 so I took 12 pictures DIGITAL for $235 it’s still a bank I asked if they have better options guy manager named Moti was straight up an unprofessional person there I will never take this cruise again the only good thing was the islands and the person who cleaned take care of our cabin
