Poor conditions for onboard staff, negative environmental impact, as well as the impact of bad tourists on the destinations they go to. Also the fact that even before COVID they were hotbeds for gastro-intestinal disease and outbreaks.
The negative impacts have gotten significantly worse as they build larger and larger ships, allowing more and more guests, and making prices more and more affordable, thus appealing to the lowest common denominator.
That said, if you're in it to make money, it seems like cruiselines are very confident in things ramping back up with the vaccine. They are pre-selling tons of bookings even during the pandemic.

Just sayin' they have a lot more negative impact than just the environment. They are just shitty in many ways more than airlines.

I love it when people rave about cruise lines being evil and negative
If your going to rip on cruises, you might as well rip on EVERY other business
Buy tshirts? You support child slavery globally
Buy avacodos? You support child slavery, gangs, climate destruction
Buy an iphone? You spport african miners handling toxic materials
Live in a condo? You support sand mining, kids diving meters underwater to retrieve it.
List is endless, literally every product we use or buy, has a toxic or evil side to it

Also given the fact that there is a philosophy of personal investing to invest in things you truly believe in, use, or care about, I figured it was worth providing that perspective in the discussion of the pros/cons of going long on CCL.

I sold one share of GME at 60 (up from 38) to spread into other stocks with potential. If the squeeze is dead, then at least it's a possible good long hold once the new CEO's plans become clear.

Hyundai and Kia are building EVs based on Canoo's platform and H/K will invest billions into Canoo over the next several years.

It does boggle my mind why Apple would potentially find a dance partner with Hyundai/Kia. Has Hyundai/Kia's quality significantly improved?

Newer Hyundai's have very good build quality. My brother has a Elantra GT and it feels nice and drives well. I read their electric platform is good from DD that I've done.
I think Apple might be going with Hyundai/Kia because H/K both have fully integrated manufacturing plants and are willing to allow Apple have greater control over the process.

If the rumours are true and they sign a definitive agreement (DA) with Lucid, then this stock will MOOOOOOON. If not, expect it to crater down to ~$10. It's a gamble and it could go either way.

Does anyone else have a position in MSTR (MicroStrategy)? They are extremely bullish on BTC, and they bought 70,000 in BTC back in 2020 for ~16,000 each. They recently held a webinar which was attended by over 1,000 corporations about the advantages of BTC as a store of value.
Here's a summary of what was discussed during the webinar: | |

hopefully Lucid is not another Nicola...
And there's still a risk where Lucid can just side with the Saudi's and cancel the SPAC deal.

in $CCIV and $VFF, anyone riding the green wave?
US legalizing federally isn't just all talks anymore.
$VFF owns that growup in Delta just off hwy99 when you are going southbound. That lovely smell in the air. Been buying them @ $9 and $14, going long

Cool. Like BB, after the reddit BS peak at $30/share, it is now at a incremental strong sustainable gain.
