Universal Cruise Line

That's one way to swim down market.

I'm not sure Carnival Corp would be willing to sell off just their flagship. Maybe? They can refocus on becoming an more upmarket holding company. As mentioned, there is one too many brands under the hood that I don't see any real synergy benefit from the purchase in totality. Are they going to slather Jurassic Park on Cunard, HAL and Princess?

Royal has become unaffordable to Comcast; though my one stupid lottery pick solo stock.

Edit-I watched the video, didn't realize it's just an inside baseball fan video. As alluded to Carnival recently ruined their rewards program and this seems to be more a Hail Mary wish.

That's another big problem Universal has. A lot of their appeal of their own personal movies would be stuff like Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Fast & Furious. And I genuinely question what can you do with those properties on a cruise ship? A show? I guess? Character meet and greets? I don't realistically know what Universal would do here other than always stand in DCL's shadow. Disney benefits from having some of the most recognizable characters under their belt in history.
Universal benefits from having some very good brand deals... but that's a problem as that would almost certainly all have to be renegotiated for this outing... which is not the best for a company in so much debt.
