CNBC
I see a future where Carnival buys Norwegian in bankruptcy and then controls the seas for all to revel in.
"In March, the company fully drew down an $875 million revolving credit facility and a separate $675 million revolving credit line. The latter matures on March 4, 2021.
In early March, as the virus spread rapidly among some cruise passengers, the State Department warned Americans against traveling by cruise ship. On March 14, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a no-sail order for cruise ships, extending it on April 9 until July 24."

Norweigian sucks.
Went on one of their ships a few years back, and it was the first and last time.
Food was terrible.
Entertainment was
For as much grief as Carnival gets on this board, they truly are the Galactic Empire of the cruise universe.

They had to raise $6.4 billion (mostly debt) very recently and are in the same boat as Norwegian.

I bet those are some nasty snatches.

NCL paid $20 million for a waterfront property values at 3-4 million last year. Bankruptcy doesnt surprise me during the downturn when you're making moves like that.

Would still have RCL/Celebrity.
The CapEx for a cruise line and the need to spread costs over as many pax as possible, kinda creates the environment for a few mega-companies, anyways.
Carnival Corp and plc controls 47% of pax and Royal Caribbean Ltd controls 23%. Norwegian is at 12 and MSC is at 10.

Carnival doesn't have that high a debt load. They're not bringing in money but they're not paying for fuel, food, or labor.
They can borrow capital and buy Norwegian for pennies on the dollar.

Well they just added about $6 billion in debt last month having to pay over 11% interest (junk bonds) because their credit is so bad. They burned through nearly $13 billion in operating costs in 2019 and only have about $7 billion in cash. Where are they hiding all this money you speak of?

sounds like they should ask Bermuda for assistance

Why do we care? They don’t even fly an American flag on their ships

We did a Norwegian cruise last December instead of sailing with Royal like usual. Everything you said is the truth; we won't sail with them again.
