* Carnival Had Lots to Say Today
Carnival Corp held their quarterly conference call for analysts to discuss their third quarter earnings today.
They had a net income of $1.2 billion for the quarter, up $100 million from the same quarter last year, and a lot of their extra spending money this quarter came from onboard revenue. But that’s enough of the hard financial news for our purposes. If you have a cruise booked, you know they’re not going out of business before you return.
What our readers are going to find more interesting are the other things they discussed - where the company is going, and what they are doing to make more money.

* Quantum of the Seas on the Way to the Seas
Today was another momentous day in Papenburg because Quantum of the Seas left Meyer Werft on its conveyance down the Ems River after a day’s delay due to weather conditions. Photos
* Floating Along
Princess Cruises has been floating along for fifty years, and this year the line is having a number of special celebrations to mark the milestone year. So there’s no more fitting way for them to celebrate their fiftieth year afloat than by having a float in the Rose Parade.
And because the Love Boat TV show has played such a major role in the company’s story, can you think of anything more fitting than to have the six original cast members from the series riding on the float?
* Other Things You’ll Want to KnowCND subscribers also read about skipping Cabo ... and on second thought.
