NEW YORK, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

(NYSE: SIX), Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL), Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL) and HomeAway, Inc. (NASDAQ: AWAY).

HomeAway, Inc. Research Report

Home Away - the world's leading online marketplace for vacation rentals - reports a surge on East Coast vacation hot spots such as Virginia Beach, Myrtle Beach and Ocean City. Even Jersey Shore listings on the global vacation home site jumped 259% - an all-time record for the area - compared to this same time last year, according to HomeAway.com CEO Brian Sharples. This is around four months after super storm Sandy barreled through prime vacation destinations at the Jersey shore. "The thing that is shocking to me is the increase in properties, which is enormous," Sharples said. "This means that those homeowners are a little more concerned about renting their homes, so they are spending money on marketing to do so. If the number of properties is doubling and demand is down, then there are probably some great values at the Jersey shore this season." Add this to the company's 2012 financial results, wherein it experienced a 22% revenue growth, things should be looking great for HomeAway.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Research Report

Royal Caribbean unveils two new ships, the Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas debuting in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

"Our ships have always been designed for WOW and with Quantum of Seas, we are excited to introduce Quantum cruising and the 'at sea' firsts that our guests have come to expect from Royal Caribbean," said Adam Goldstein, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. Royal Caribbean has also named Emmy and Tony award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth as godmother to its new ships.
