On January 28th, 2025, the day I began sailing on the latest Jazz Cruise, stock for Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL), the parent company for the cruise line on which we sailed, soared over 12%, as the company reported stellar earnings. In three post-COVID years. RCL has delivered a 47% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and quadrupled its stock price. This is partly due to the boom in Baby Boomer finances. Unfortunately for me, I’m not a Boomer, that frisky consort of jet-setting youngsters. My wife and I were born late in the “Silent Generation” (WW2 years), and these cruise trips, long flights and airports will have to get along without us in future years, but cruise lines should continue to thrive.
