Likefolio's Landon Swan looks at the cruise sector and focuses on Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) in particular. Overall, cruises are seeing more interest, but NCLH is lagging behind rivals Carnival (CCL) and Royal Caribbean (RCL). Still, their reviews are overall positive. Landon argues that Norwegian isn't “taking advantage” of the influx of interest and thinks the stock might be getting ahead of itself.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

This episode covers three big cruise stories: MSC reroutes two ships from Marseille after Valentine's weekend winds top 50 knots, Norwegian Cruise Line names Burger King and Subway veteran John Chidsey as CEO amid activist investor pressure, and Carnival Encounter heads to Singapore drydock for a full Cloud 9 Spa overhaul and pool refresh before returning to Australian waters.

What if the values that made you who you are — resilience, service, empathy — could become the operating system for an entire organization? Today's guest grew up in Hialeah, Florida, the son of Cuban immigrants who arrived in America with almost nothing and built everything through grit, integrity, and an unwavering belief that hard work is the price of admission. He lost his father at 12 years old, found his footing in the U.S. Army — where he'd eventually jump out of planes at night as part of an Airborne unit — and then quietly built one of the most storied careers in the travel industry. David Herrera served as President of Norwegian Cruise Line, where over more than a decade he helped transform the company's commercial operations, led its expansion into China, and championed a genuine, veteran-driven military appreciation program that earned him letters, mugs, and thank-you notes from guests whose gratitude had nothing to do with the bottom line. But what strikes you most about David isn't the titles or the milestones — it's that he leads the same way his mother lived, the same way his Army sergeant Mahoney taught him: from the front, with his word as his bond, leaving no doubt whose side he's on. In this conversation, we talk about growing up in a Cuban immigrant household that embodied the American dream, what the military teaches you about trust and team that no MBA program can replicate, how he thinks about culture not as a poster on the wall but as the answer to the question — who's winning here, and why? — and what it really means to be a servant leader when the stakes are high. In this episode we discuss: Hire your manager, not just your job. The person above you shapes everything about your early career experience. Choose them wisely. If you're not early, you're late. Punctuality is ultimately about respect — for other people's time and for the commitments you make. Share the victory, own the setback. When things go right, celebrate the team. When things go sideways, step forward and take responsibility. Culture is what gets rewarded. Not what's written on the wall — but who's winning in your organization and what it is about them that you actually respect and want to replicate. Treat everything as a learning opportunity. Doesn't matter if you're painting parking lots in Miami heat or running a division — be in the moment, observe what works, and study what doesn't so you can avoid it. Lead from the front. Never ask someone to do something you haven't done or aren't willing to do alongside them. That credibility is the foundation of real trust. Know your foxhole friends. Who in your life both genuinely cares about you and is capable of showing up when it counts? That combination is rarer than most people realize. Sometimes the right business decision comes at a personal cost. Separating emotion from judgment is one of the hardest and most important skills a leader can develop — and it never fully stops stinging.

Welcome to another completely stable and professionally executed daily comedy show… where one host is preparing for a cruise that may or may not include hostage negotiations, another is heading to Vegas to sit on a radio panel titled “Reports of Our Death Are Greatly Exaggerated” (which feels aggressive), and the rest of us are arguing about hockey and stuffed monkeys.Rafe is setting sail toward Mexico during what the news is lovingly describing as “a tense time,” and naturally we handle it with firearms training jokes, cartel commentary, and Norwegian Cruise Line optimism. Meanwhile, Rizz is headed to Vegas for a radio conference panel alongside a guy flying his own private plane. Rizz? Row 20 on Southwest. Celebrity row, obviously. Fremont-adjacent accommodations. Lifts packed. Confidence medium.We also spiral into Vegas buffet strategy like it's a military operation. Crab legs first. No bread. Absolutely no French toast. If you leave feeling fine, you did it wrong. That's the rule.Back in STL, Moon lived his best cultured life at Phantom of the Opera at The Fabulous Fox Theatre (tears were shed, nuts were purchased), then followed it up with a suite-level experience at a St. Louis City SC match where apparently the buffet alone deserves its own documentary. Meanwhile, Rizz is still emotionally recovering from Canada being “butthurt” about losing Olympic hockey in overtime. Scoreboard is the judge. That's how sports work.We also check in on Punch the abandoned baby monkey who went viral hugging his IKEA orangutan, debate whether AI is the future or the apocalypse, invent a game show called House of Steve, and confirm that yes, Vegas is expensive now and no, the $4.99 steak days are gone forever.This daily comedy show somehow covers cruise chaos, Olympic gold, Broadway tears, casino buffets, monkey redemption arcs, and trivia-night costume strategy in one episode. It's chaotic. It's unnecessary. It's exactly what you signed up for.If you like funny stories, pop culture commentary, sports meltdowns, entertainment gossip, and sarcastic humor from a funny morning show in St. Louis, congratulations — you've found your new favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Day in Legal History: Order 9066On this day in legal history, enforcement of Executive Order 9066 began in earnest following its signing by Franklin D. Roosevelt earlier in February 1942. The order authorized the military to designate exclusion zones and remove individuals deemed security risks from certain areas of the country. In practice, it led to the forced relocation and incarceration of more than 110,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens. Families were removed from their homes, businesses were lost, and entire communities were dismantled. The government justified the policy as a matter of national security during World War II. Critics argued it was rooted in racial prejudice rather than military necessity.The constitutionality of the policy reached the Supreme Court in Korematsu v. United States. Fred Korematsu, a U.S. citizen, had refused to comply with the exclusion order and was convicted. In a 6–3 decision, the Court upheld his conviction, accepting the government's claim that the exclusion was justified by wartime necessity. The majority deferred heavily to the executive branch, emphasizing the perceived threat on the West Coast. In dissent, several justices warned that the decision validated racial discrimination under the guise of military urgency.Decades later, the ruling came to be widely regarded as a grave error. In 1988, Congress passed the Civil Liberties Act, formally apologizing and providing reparations to surviving internees. In 2018, the Supreme Court explicitly stated that Korematsu was wrongly decided, rejecting its reasoning even though it was not formally overturned in the technical sense. The episode remains a cautionary example of how constitutional protections can erode in times of crisis.The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear two cases concerning the scope of the Helms-Burton Act, a 1996 law that allows American companies to sue over property confiscated by Cuba after the 1959 revolution. One case involves ExxonMobil's effort to recover more than $1 billion for oil and gas assets seized by Cuba in 1960. Exxon sued a Cuban state-owned company in 2019, alleging it continues to profit from the confiscated property. A lower court ruled that the Cuban entities could claim foreign sovereign immunity, which generally protects foreign governments from being sued in U.S. courts. Exxon has asked the Supreme Court to reverse that decision.The second case involves four cruise operators—Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, and MSC Cruises—accused of unlawfully benefiting from docks in Havana that were originally built and operated by a U.S. company before being seized by Cuba. The docks were used between 2016 and 2019, after travel restrictions were eased under President Obama. A trial judge initially ruled against the cruise lines and awarded more than $100 million in damages, but an appeals court later dismissed the case, finding that the original concession had expired before the cruise lines used the property. The Supreme Court's decisions could clarify how broadly Congress intended the Helms-Burton Act to apply and whether claimants face significant legal barriers when seeking compensation.US Supreme Court to hear Exxon bid for compensation from Cuba | ReutersU.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that it will stop collecting tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) beginning just after midnight on Tuesday. The decision comes several days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that those tariffs were unlawful. The agency said it would deactivate the tariff codes tied to President Donald Trump's IEEPA-related orders but did not explain why collections continued for days after the ruling. It also did not address whether importers who paid the duties would receive refunds.The suspension of the IEEPA tariffs coincides with the implementation of a new 15% global tariff introduced under a different statutory authority. Customs clarified that the halt applies only to the IEEPA-based tariffs and does not affect other trade measures, including those enacted under Section 232 for national security reasons or Section 301 for unfair trade practices. Economists have estimated that the now-invalidated IEEPA tariffs generated more than $175 billion in revenue and were bringing in over $500 million per day. As a result, the ruling potentially exposes the government to significant refund claims from importers.US to stop collecting tariffs deemed illegal by Supreme Court on Tuesday | ReutersJPMorgan Chase informed President Donald Trump and his hospitality company in February 2021 that it was closing their bank accounts, according to newly released documents tied to Trump's $5 billion lawsuit against the bank and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. The letters were sent about a month after the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. At the time, several businesses and organizations distanced themselves from Trump, including law firms and the PGA of America.In its February 19, 2021 letters, JPMorgan did not provide a detailed explanation for ending the relationship. The bank stated generally that it may determine a client's interests are no longer served by continuing with J.P. Morgan Private Bank. JPMorgan has previously argued that Trump's lawsuit lacks merit. Trump's legal team, however, claims the letters amount to an admission that the bank intentionally “de-banked” him and his businesses, allegedly causing major financial harm.Trump contends that JPMorgan violated its own policies and unfairly targeted him for political reasons. The newly disclosed letters were submitted as part of the bank's effort to transfer the case from federal court in Miami to New York, where JPMorgan argues the dispute is more closely connected.JPMorgan says it closed Trump's bank accounts a month after Jan. 6 attack | ReutersA federal judge in Florida declined to overturn a $243 million jury verdict against Tesla stemming from a fatal 2019 crash involving the company's Autopilot system. The court found that the evidence presented at trial sufficiently supported the jury's conclusion that Autopilot played a role in the collision, which killed 22-year-old Naibel Benavides Leon in Key Largo. The jury determined that both the driver and Tesla shared responsibility for the crash.Jurors originally awarded $59 million to Benavides' parents and $70 million to her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, who was injured in the incident. After accounting for comparative fault, the compensatory damages were reduced to about $42.6 million, with the driver found 67% responsible and Tesla 33% responsible. The jury also imposed $200 million in punitive damages against the company.Tesla asked the court to set aside the verdict or grant a new trial, arguing that the damages were excessive and that its conduct did not meet Florida's legal threshold for punitive damages. The company also contended that state law limits punitive damages to three times the compensatory award. The judge rejected these arguments, stating that Tesla was largely repeating points already considered and dismissed during trial.At trial, plaintiffs argued that Autopilot was defective because it could be activated on roads it was not designed for and did not adequately ensure driver attention. They also claimed Tesla overstated the system's capabilities. The driver admitted he had looked away from the road moments before the crash.Tesla Can't Escape $243M Autopilot Crash Verdict - Law360 This is a public episode.

US equity futures are under pressure following a mostly higher Friday close, with Asian markets mixed in holiday-thinned trade and European equities trading modestly firmer. Markets continue to rotate beneath the surface. The broadening-out trade remains intact, supported by cooler headline inflation and a rate rally, though AI-related concentration risk and scrutiny around large-cap tech valuations remain an overhang. Investors are balancing softer consumer data against still-solid labor conditions and stable earnings trends, while positioning and sentiment appear less stretched than earlier in the year. Attention now shifts to the upcoming batch of economic releases and policy signals, with inflation trends and Fed communication remaining central to the outlook.Companies Mentioned: Masimo, Danaher, Norwegian Cruise Line, Tesla

In Episode 159 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, Angie Sparks and Mike Zaccheo cover listener tips, loyalty news, and Angie's recent “actual vacation.” The highlight post addresses how to handle two-factor authentication (2FA) when traveling internationally, especially when using a local eSIM. Community suggestions include switching to authenticator apps instead of SMS and keeping your primary line active for texts and calls while using an eSIM for data. In the news, they discuss a new United Business card offer (100,000 miles plus 2,000 PQP), Air Canada adding ITA Airways as a distance-based redemption partner, a targeted Marriott Bonvoy points purchase bonus, and several loyalty promotions set to expire. They also share updates on their current credit card strategies and upcoming trips.The main topic centers on Angie's first true vacation in years. After initially considering a resort stay in Anguilla, she and her husband opted for a seven-night Norwegian Cruise Line sailing out of San Juan with a port stop each day. They intentionally limited excursions, choosing instead to relax—reading, enjoying the sun, and unplugging. Angie strategically used a mix of cash, points, and credit card perks to offset costs, including Ultimate Rewards points to book the cruise through Chase Travel, free night certificates at the Caribe Hilton for a pre-cruise stay, and various statement credits for rides, dining, and lounge access. She also highlights how her Southwest Priority card delivered outsized value under the airline's new seat assignment policy, saving nearly $500 on seat selection and baggage fees. While the trip delivered the relaxation they wanted, Angie notes some declines in NCL's onboard experience and wouldn't necessarily recommend that specific ship in the future.Episode LinksUnited Business card offerAir Canada/ ITA partnershipMarriott buy points promoWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

This episode examines three developments that reveal how major cruise lines are asserting control over an increasingly complex industry. Norwegian Cruise Line's new NCL Air policy now mandates day-early arrival for all passengers booking through its air program — even on domestic flights — a direct response to the mounting unreliability of air travel that saw over 15,000 flight delays on the policy's launch day alone. The hosts break down the operational logic behind the change, the legal complexities of the Passenger Vessel Services Act that make missed embarkations nearly impossible to fix, and the hidden cost trap that could catch deal-savvy travelers off guard.The episode then travels to Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, where Royal Caribbean's fourth Icon-class ship is taking shape with the installation of its signature 52-foot glass Pearl — a structure that's both stunning art piece and load-bearing engineering marvel. The hosts explore how the sphere's mounting system handles the ship's flex at sea and how modular cabin construction at offsite factories is revolutionizing shipbuilding quality and speed for vessels approaching 250,000 gross tons.Finally, MSC Cruises signals its serious North American ambitions with a $100 million, 130,000-square-foot headquarters in downtown Miami, strategically located near the Brightline high-speed rail station. The hosts discuss how this investment, projected to generate $300 million in annual economic impact, positions MSC to compete head-to-head with Royal Caribbean and Carnival in the world's most competitive cruise market.

Dos destinos para el nuevo episodio de El Placer de Viajar: la lujosa Ginebra, en Suiza, y Jaén, la capital andaluza que es toda una sorpresa. Este episodio de El placer de viajar, cuenta con la colaboración de Norwegian Cruise Line y en él nuestros anfitriones Carmelo Jordá y Kelu Robles invitan a los oyentes a realizar un recorrido dual que conecta los campos de olivos de Jaén con la precisión relojera de Ginebra. El episodio comienza explorando las raíces de Jaén, una ciudad cuyo nombre ha evolucionado desde la Aurgi romana y la Yaiyan árabe. Su ubicación estratégica la convirtió en un punto de interés fundamental desde tiempos de Escipión el Africano. Los presentadores subrayan que, aunque a menudo queda a la sombra de la vecina Granada, Jaén posee una historia antigua y una profundidad cultural que merece ser redescubierta por el viajero moderno.Por Ginebra Centrando su atención en Suiza, describen a Ginebra como una urbe profundamente influenciada por su cercanía con Francia y su ubicación privilegiada a orillas del lago Leman. El río Ródano atraviesa la ciudad, dividiéndola en zonas diferenciadas donde la naturaleza y la urbanidad conviven en perfecta armonía. La geografía de la ciudad marca su carácter dividido: una parte baja que abraza el lago Leman y una parte alta que custodia el centro histórico, siendo ambas fundamentales para entender el alma suiza. Uno de los iconos más reconocibles de la ciudad es el Jet d'Eau, un espectacular surtidor de agua que alcanza los 140 metros de altura. Aunque nació como una necesidad técnica de una central hidráulica en el siglo XIX, se ha convertido en el emblema internacional de Ginebra. Muy cerca, los Bains des Pâquis ofrecen un espacio de encuentro social y relajación sobre el lago, demostrando que Ginebra puede ser sofisticada y, a la vez, abierta a quienes saben disfrutar de sus rincones populares. El casco antiguo de Ginebra es un laberinto de calles medievales que culminan en la Place du Bourg-de-Four. La influencia francesa es palpable en sus cafés y boutiques, creando una atmósfera que Carmelo describe como hipster pero refinada. Caminar por estas calles es un viaje en el tiempo, lejos de los edificios de cristal de los bancos y las organizaciones internacionales que dominan las zonas más modernas de la metrópoli. La Catedral de San Pedro es otra parada obligatoria, ofreciendo una experiencia única en tres niveles. Desde su templo protestante de una sobriedad gótica imponente hasta las torres con vistas panorámicas, el visitante puede descender finalmente al subsuelo, que alberga un espectacular yacimiento arqueológico. Este sitio permite contemplar mosaicos y cimientos de la ciudad antigua, tendiendo un puente entre el estado suizo moderno y su pasado clásico romano. Suiza es sinónimo de precisión, y Ginebra es el corazón de la alta relojería. Los conductores del programa analizan las manufacturas como la de Franck Muller, donde las complicaciones mecánicas elevan los relojes a la categoría de obras de arte. El Museo Patek Philippe es alabado como uno de los mejores del mundo, narrando cinco siglos de historia de la relojería. No se trata solo de medir el tiempo, sino del patrimonio y el oficio transmitido durante generaciones. El espíritu de la ciudad también está definido por la Reforma. El Muro de los Reformadores se erige en el Parc des Bastions, representando a figuras como Calvino, Farel y Knox. El carácter austero del calvinismo todavía perdura en la identidad ginebrina, evidenciado por leyes históricas que llegaban a prohibir que los comensales fueran vistos desde la calle, promoviendo una seriedad que contrasta con su actual cosmopolitismo.Por Jaén De vuelta en España, el Castillo de Santa Catalina domina el horizonte de Jaén. Desde sus alturas, el viajero puede contemplar el mar de olivos y los picos circundantes como el cerro Almodóvar. La fortaleza no es solo un monumento militar, sino un centro cultural que alberga vistas panorámicas inigualables y tradiciones como la sardinada en el día de su patrona. Su integración con un Parador de Turismo lo convierte en un destino ideal para quienes buscan historia sin renunciar al confort. Un detalle fascinante del castillo es su antigua prisión, que fue la primera en España en prohibir oficialmente por ley el uso de la tortura. Este hito, derivado de las Cortes de Cádiz, marca una transición hacia el derecho moderno. El programa destaca cómo Jaén, a menudo percibida como una ciudad de paso, guarda estos tesoros que son fundamentales para la historia de España y la evolución de sus instituciones. La Catedral de Jaén, obra cumbre del Renacimiento español, es otra de las joyas mencionadas. Diseñada por Andrés de Vandelvira, sirvió de modelo para muchas de las catedrales construidas en el Nuevo Mundo. En su interior se custodia la reliquia del Santo Rostro, que atrae tanto a peregrinos como a amantes del arte. Su escala y su armonía arquitectónica son un testimonio del poder eclesiástico y artístico que tuvo la ciudad en siglos pasados. Los Baños Árabes de Jaén, ubicados en el Palacio de Villardompardo, son los más grandes y mejor conservados de toda Europa. Junto con la Judería, narran la historia de una ciudad multicultural donde convivieron distintas fes durante siglos. El trazado laberíntico del barrio judío, aunque muy alterado hoy, mantiene la esencia de su importancia histórica como una de las juderías más extensas del continente. Finalmente, la gastronomía de Jaén se presenta como una estrella oculta. La ciudad presume de una alta concentración de estrellas Michelin y una cultura del tapeo envidiable. El aceite de oliva virgen extra, conocido popularmente como AOVE, es el alma de cada plato. Desde los tallos matutinos hasta la refrescante pipirrana, los sabores de la tierra son una parte central de la experiencia del viaje en esta provincia andaluza. El episodio concluye con una invitación a probar especialidades locales como los andrajos, un guiso de masa de harina, o las collejas, hierbas silvestres que reflejan una cocina de subsistencia elevada a placer gourmet. Los presentadores recuerdan que viajar a Jaén o a Ginebra es más que hacer turismo; es sumergirse en los aromas y las culturas culinarias que definen estos lugares excepcionales. Por ello, instan a los oyentes a explorar estos platos típicos para completar su inmersión en la historia viva de Europa. Escríbenos, explícanos qué te gusta más y si hay algo que no te gusta tanto de El Placer de Viajar, dinos de qué destinos quieres que hablemos y si quieres que tratemos algún tema y, por supuesto, pregúntanos lo que quieras en el correo del programa: elplacerdeviajar@libertaddigital.com.

Q3 reporting left investors with a familiar challenge: hundreds of stocks traded lower after earnings, and only a few are worth deeper attention. Ben Silverman explains how he narrows that universe by looking at post-earnings insider behavior, focusing on where management actions diverge from prior patterns. He walks through cases such as Norwegian Cruise Line's first executive purchase since 2016, the Sonos CEO buying again after a 45 percent rally, and Chubb's 1.2 billion dollar buyback executed as management called shares "well below intrinsic value."Then Christine Short, Director of Research, TMX Datalinx, examines what companies signaled before they reported through changes in their confirmed earnings dates, a form of corporate "body language." She highlights real Q3 moves including Verizon delaying its date by eight days (shares down about 3 percent after earnings) and Regeneron moving up by two days (shares up about 12 percent after results), illustrating how timing decisions can hint at the tone of upcoming announcements.A concise look at how pre- and post-earnings behavior can shape positioning into year-end.Verity was acquired by TMX Group in October 2025.
