Carnival Corp held their quarterly conference call for financial analysts today, and while there were no major revelations, there were a number of items of interest that relate to issues we've covered.
The overall important aspect of the call was that Carnival made money ($1.38 billion in the third quarter), which isn't surprising or unexpected, and they expect to continue to do so.
But there were lots of interesting tidbits in the commentary which should be of interest to the consumer, including discussion of a fuel surcharge in the US, if the $50 head tax hurt demand for Alaska, if the US passport requirement has hurt demand, if the expansion in China will continue, and an update on the progress of the pier construction in Cozumel.
Details are in today's edition of Cruise News Daily.
