I did something similar on CCL. Got assigned on a put right before Iran and the stock tanked. Sold puts and calls to lower my cost basis and was recently able to get out with a small profit. I also don't worry too much about getting assigned on the put as long as it doesn't look like the stock is in free fall. Getting assigned lowers your cost basis substantially usually allowing you to sell calls closer to your cost basis and collect more premium.
I think the hentaivirus scare made a good buying opportunity for CCL

CCL hasn't done shit since it went public nearly 40 years ago. What a loser of a company.
Think puts on cruise lines like CCL or RCL will print? Just saw reports of 100 norovirus cases on another ship
I have been still liking these on dips: HOOD, RDDT, OXY, AR and believe it or not CCL. Their PE ratio is still pretty good with all this war stuff and oil, but I like lower to mid 20's for CCL for now. Otherwise ,waiting until next week or a dip as so many stocks too high for my entry after the earnings and war news pumps we have seen.

Started a few years ago around covid, had some wins, had some losses. But gained an understanding on volatility. Stopped a few years. And recently jumped in just to make a few bucks. Was doing AMC/CCL, made some profits along with losses but nothing major. Saw QQQ and SPY, along with AAPL and NVDA. Saw their movement recently and just saw the chart and made sure to buy a drop, or see the movement and see it stay steady or climb and got lucky on some Calls... pretty much.
CCL is 25 billion dollar’s in debt and is the only cruise line that doesn’t hedge their fuel costs, they can’t really raise prices much to compensate since discretionary vacations are the ultimate elastic demand, raise em too high and people cancel especially when the consumer is getting reamed by face melting inflation
Smaller ones maybe. Spirit had a shaky model and has had financial issues for years. CCL and Norwegian are currently profitable and have the money to manage their debt in a way that Spirit hasn’t done for 5 years
VIX calls for July. Long dated CCL puts. UAE eating missiles. War is back on, this is just the beginning.
CCL is in a lot better position than spirit airlines.
I could see $CCL taking a hit from the Spirit Air death. Customers can’t afford to get to the boat.
I'm similar but United instead of AA. I bought before the merger rumours fell thru and didn't want to end up with AA getting bought for a premium. I looked at CCL too but the oil exposure vs jet fuel exposure is different. A large % of CCL sailing are already sold at pre fuel increase prices so I could see them coming out of the summer poorly. Their chart also looks like it's a a high. All that said I still needed up with United puts instead of CCL. Good luck.
you’re better off shorting CCL tbh - they don’t hedge their oil at all
Spot on. The mental gymnastics here are incredible. Last week, the narrative was that war and high oil prices would crush margins; now that we’ve had a green day, suddenly '*inflation is a tailwind for equities*’. This is the definition of Monday morning quarterbacking. If you look at the post histories of the people claiming this was obvious, none of them were calling for a rally before the tickers turned green. They just wait for the market to move and then cherry-pick a macro reason to justify it **after the fact**. Personally, I expect a dip this summer, starting by mid-May. The reality is that high oil and rising inflation are structural drags on the economy. We are not getting a big crash, just anemic growth and red tickers for consumer. Currently I have some shorts in $CCL & $DAL. Cruises are the ultimate discretionary spend. They are also floating cities that run on large amounts of fuel. My thesis is that rising costs plus falling bookings equal a disaster for their margins.
It going to be something stupid like CCL ☠️
What do I currently own? NVO, UUUU, Nike, CCL, BUG, XYZ are some ones I’m currently big on for shares UUUU being my biggest and I fully expect over $100 a share in the future
if i kept it simple with sp500 i would have more. international mid small cap bonds to approximate vanguard target funds to reduce my expense ratios. plus some small amounts in stocks about 15k. CCL was my big winner. just got too busy with work to do proper analysis. but this more for play money.
Many more will join you sooner or later. Similarly, I have my skin in the market since 2018 (TSLA, META, MU, CCL, TWTR, BAACEZ, RKLB, RDW, IREN). Eventhough I was able to do +70% p.a. in the last 5 years, I dont think I am able to do it or I should do it anymore with significant part of my portfolio/income. I have set up regular investment into Czech version of 401k (broad ETFs, 9-10 % p.a., fee 0,5%). Steady pace win the race.
Literally 2 cruise ships trying to go thru the strait, right now. Corporations trying to cash in on "immersive experiences". Calls MSC and CCL.
LOL same applies to VIK, CCL was just the first one I thought of
Say what you want about strait open, oil down, blah blah blah. Not here to talk about the fake market. But something like carnival (CCL) in particular. No way their business doesn't get hurt badly as the year goes on, right? Seems like it's destined to dump at some point, the problem (as always) is getting the timing right
CCL is a fickle sob hard to make money off it
Lol idk if plowing into RE rn is the smartest… foreclosure activity picking up and prices tanking in FL. If you want a shitty trade idea to piggyback on I’m balls deep in CCL calls https://preview.redd.it/vbzz8ox93ovg1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f9ecb681ff479b4087662e2a411e5e138eca567
Ok but at least during Covid, some sectors took a huge hit . cruises, airlines, hotels… etc. For example, during Covid , I bought RCL $25 (high pre Iran $360, now $280), UAL $25, CCL $7 , etc. Now, they are STILL at all time highs even though those sectors should be affected. Doesn’t make sense this time….feels very manipulated and not clean dips. Something is off.
Oh yeah, short term shenanigans are guaranteed. Even I am impressed by the “ceasefire” prize squeeze cheese. But I don’t think it’ll last, you cannot obfuscate physical oil at 144 nor jet fuel and diesel costs doubling for long. VIX at sub 20 and the markets higher/same prices as they were before this is so absurd it’s almost funny. I’m confident in the long term trend though, fundamentally you need consumers with money to spend and cost effective marine fuel to run a cruise ship for profit snd I see neither of those happening. Plus they’re also 27 BILLION dollars in debt. Thats why I’m betting long distance, I see a 0% chance that CCL and IWM sustain their current prices for the next 8 months. Terrifying to watch this all unfold, I think this level of delusion will go down in the history books. But I’m betting that the physical reality will have no choice but to rear its ugly head in Q2/3 no matter how much the line wants to go up
Yeah i think this is all a giant final scheme for the people people up top to hand off their heavy bags to retail who’s “buying the dip”, like there is only so long the market can stay completely delusional like this. I’m doing long shorts in Jan/dec on carnival cruises CCL (huge debt, bunker fuel price literally almost doubled [thus far], and discretionary travel is the most elastic demand ever) and IWM (40% of companies in the index were unprofitable before this, 0% chance they can sustain oil prices going >2x) I think two entire quarters of carnage will be plenty of time to see the destruction of oil at 144/barrel. I think all these ceasefire talks are just cheese to reload+calm markets+find exit liquidity, just look at the volume it’s absolutely anemic. Price action is basically entirely from options market mechanics. The damage is baked in at this point no matter what anyone does. 1/3 of the planets fertilizer comes from the straight, food prices will go parabolic by next year. Diesel and jet fuel are almost doubled, you cannot hide these facts forever. This years harvest is cooked even if the straight opens tomorrow. The damage on oil infrastructure will take months if not years of peacetime to get meaningfully back on line.
My biggest regret was buying the heavy on the CCL dip during Rona and not the RCL dip.
Look to get short UAL and CCL and then at some point long DAL and RCL?
What you experienced is pin risk — CCL closed at $24.11, dangerously close to your $24 short strike. Tastytrade likely auto-closed your short put at $0.22 as a protective measure rather than risk assignment over the weekend. Brokers often do this automatically near expiration when you're within $0.10-$0.15 of the short strike. The long leg was removed at $0.00 because it was worthless. You still kept most of your credit, just not all of it. The $0.22 buyback was the cost of avoiding potential early assignment risk. Was your net credit after the $0.22 buyback still positive, and did Tastytrade notify you before closing it?
Why wouldn’t you short CCL they have no hedge whatsoever? Also why not longer dated puts?
Carnival does not hedge for their oil, I think the thesis of cruises=boned is strong but yeah, short dated RML puts are not a good vector. Carnival (CCL) is boned me thinks, long dated puts on those guys is a better play
CCL please break $28 tomorrow and ill stop looking big booty Latinas
Looks like you might have been assigned on that short leg if CCL touched or went below 24 at any point near expiration, or Tastytrade's auto-close logic kicked in to prevent pin risk. Usually, if it's that close to the strike, brokers will close it for you to avoid a massive margin headache. Always worth checking the 'Activity' tab for the specific assignment notification.
Will CCL go up after the call?
If CCL drops we will know the markets are 100% a fraud
Someone pray for my CCL earnings report
I need a $2 jump on CCL with earnings tomorrow
CCL calls in June 2020. $300 to $10k overnight. Wish I’d bought a few grand worth.
I need CCL to produce profits and strong guidance. I got leaps but I want out with a win now.
If CCL can break $28 with earnings Friday I'll fuck a 🍍
CCL is the only cruise line that doesn’t hedge against oil. Oil is also inflationary and negatively impacting the economy, and demand. $21 puts for June
How do you think the oil situation will look on CCL earning they alway beat earning but that could scare people
Is CCL a move this week might take a chance
So glad I drunkily grabbed some HOOD and CCL puts right before close on friday
TBH CCL may pop. Didn't Norwegian pop earlier this year?
CCL is a cleaner setup after earnings.
CCL $25p 4/24 seems like ez money rn
People are about to have way less disposable income, and CCL's going to have to raise prices into that or else their margins are going to get gaped.
On top of the fact that everything will be down next week, you'd imagine CCL guidance will be awful.
CCL puts, not much travel during WW3
First time looking at RCL vs CCL and they look so goddamn different. RCL looks like it's on a rocket ship to the moon but carnival is like barely fucking floating. Wtf is off with these 2
You picked the wrong cruise, RCL has a hedge: "We anticipate full-year fuel expense of approximately $1.17 billion, with 60% of our projected fuel consumption hedged" CCL is unhedged tho
did this shit and CCL rose by 5 points😂
That's what I'm sayin lol I had the same exact idea as this dude on like tuesday before looking at CCL and RCL's YTD chart, reading like 2 articles, and figuring it out lol
Carnival Cruise (CCL) - April 17th, $20 Puts: Look to cash out $1.29 per contract.
CCL is still down 50% from pre COVID and revenue is doing very well so it's a bit risky
CCL graph looked very bullish before the war. Ive lost $$ on my calls.
I need CCL to break $28 with earning Friday
Calls on $CCL it is. If they offered a strait of Hormuz cruise business would be booming
+4% YTD. Mainly thanks to MU, TSMC, SNDK, XLE, LLY & metals. Plus exited NBIS, SN, CCL at near ATHs. Big drops on MSFT, MELI, URA, AMZ etc the usual tech names. Overall worry is so far we haven’t seen a sizeable crash, & that may be coming soon. So keeping dry powder on the sidelines instead of going right back in.
This war will have ripple effect on the stocks in years to come. inflation, price of oil, food, electricity, water, etc will it hit hard on the economy? are the stocks mainly on entertainment, travel tourism, hotels, cruise etc, be impacted. should I get rid of my stocks CCL, NCLH, RCL, Gameshop, before it is too late? please advise
This war will have ripple effect on the stocks in years to come. inflation, price of oil, food, electricity, water, etc will be hard hitting the economy. stocks on entertainment, travel tourism, hotels, cruise etc, will be greatly impacted. If you own these stocks CCL, NCLH, RCL, GME, , etc. get rid of them now before it is too late.
No, don't take that misconception. The war is far from over. trump might want to claim victory, no he is not. iran can go on and on, and on. The damage done in past 2 weeks is far from recovery. the economy, is hit badly. Oil, natural gas, fertilizer is going to hike the price of food, and other dependent products. Inflation is inevitable. Entertainment stocks, like cruise line, e.g. NCLH, CCL, RCL, will free fall. If you own these stocks, I suggest get rid of them now.
CCL, RCL, and NCHL. But if I had to pick one, it would be CCL.
CCL holder here. This war’s been rough.
I need this done before CCL earnings next Friday. He needs to Taco faster
I would never be caught dead on a Carnival Cruise, but I may buy CCL at these levels
so my CCL and JETS puts will print??
Yeah it’ll be a song and dance, need something I can hold for a while, maybe CCL? June calls looking appetizing
CCL seems cheap here.
My CCL calls got rekt. Still have 3 months. Im gonna go pray
Mitsubishi Gas Chemical to raise CCL prices by 30%. lol. It is all happening.
what jackass just bought all those CCL puts right after i bought mine
CCL and NClh leaps up bigly
CCL heading to $40 the dividend is back and I got 10k in leaps
The 14th is the last day ti get into CCL before the divi
Carnival Corporation & plc (CCL) officially reinstated its quarterly dividend in December 2025, marking its first payout since the pandemic-driven suspension in 2020. The board declared an initial dividend of $0.15 per share, which is scheduled to be paid on February 27, 2026. Key Dividend Dates and Details To be eligible for the upcoming payment, investors must hold shares by the record date. Dividend Amount: $0.15 per share Ex-Dividend Date: February 13, 2026 Record Date: February 13, 2026 Payment Date: February 27, 202
It can be both, it all depends on the time you buy it. For a while they were doing quite badly but since then demand has picked up quite a bit and their revenue is looking good again, their p/e is roughly half of RCL (stock is doing crazy well). Everyone was talking about it during 2020 but not many people held on. To be fair there were better stocks to invest in at the time, but I think people extremely underestimate the value of holding almost any company that isn't a complete failure long term. I don't forever hold stocks though, I buy companies I believe are below their intrinsic value and sell them when I think they are fairly priced. My target is 47~50 dollars for CCL (not financial advice) based on the bit of research I've done, but I would definitely trail my stop up at those prices to lock in profits.
Are you saying is CCL is a great find or it is a dud?
I'll give you one then, CCL. It's not a super hyped up stock that everyone is talking about (at least if they are I'm not aware of it). Been waiting for this stock to do something for like 5 years lol but I have several watch lists and I just pounce on the right companies at the right time with stop losses. There are literally thousands of undervalued solid companies though, I would recommend scanning on finviz to find them. I specifically look for p/e under 20 and p/b 5 or below with high institutional ownership and insider buying, then I filter with the chart (I don't buy anything at all time highs or lows)
