Good choice, RCL is confirming the weakness in CCL...

I think I read where fuel costs are around 5% to 6% of revenues (assuming $45 or so oil) - so a significant spike into $60s or $70s would hit them farly hard directly... in addition to what that oil price would of course do to their customer base...

Also with volume having picked up, short interest ratios have dropped:

CCL SEP 2004 = 8.26 days
CCL FEB 2005 = 4.43 days

RCL SEP 2004 = 9.50 days
RCL FEB 2005 = 4.10 days
