Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NYSE:NCLH) stock is down 2.2% at $16.01 at last glance, brushing off a bull note amid the broader market selloff. Loop Capital upgraded the cruise stock to "buy" from "hold" today, highlighting the company’s new pier at Great Stirrup Cay, which will allow passengers to disembark directly onto the island. 

On the charts, NCLH has been consolidating near the $16 level for the past few weeks, following its April 7, 52-week low of $12.41. The descending 20-day moving average -- a trendline in place since mid-February -- continues to apply pressure overhead. So far in 2025, the equity is down 37.8%.

Carnival Corp's (NYSE:CCL) stock chart looks starkly similar. The shares hit an eight-month low of $13.78 on April 5, and have hung out around $17.50 since. The stock was last seen 4.6% lower at $17.16, with its 20-day moving average similarly acting as resistance. Year-to-date, CCL is down 30.5%.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:RCL) has seen slightly choppier price action, steadily moving lower since its January 31 record high of $277.08. The stock is down 18.6% year-to-date, though long-term support sits below at the 320-day moving average. Looking at the charts, RCL looks like the best bet for bulls from a technical standpoint, though it's down 3.3% at $186.43 today.
