Better Buy in 2023: Norwegian Cruise Line vs. Carnival Stock
The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) projects cruise tourism to exceed 2019 levels by 6% this year, with an estimated 31.5 million guests expected to travel aboard. Generating higher revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 than in Q4 2019, Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE: NCLH) looks determined to come back from its pandemic crash. Despite operating at a loss in the last reported quarter, Norwegian Cruise Line expects an easing of costs this year -- and an increase in passengers.
