SunTrust analyst Patrick Scholes downgraded Norwegian Cruise Line to Hold from Buy and lowered its price target to $43 from $52 following a recent pricing survey that indicates a broad based slowdown across all global regions. Scholes said Norwegian's pricing went to negative 1.5% in September from +1.3% in August and has decelerated every month since April. The analyst said the company's high-end Prestige brands were especially weak and it appears pricing for Regent Seven Seas took another leg down, something he believes is not reflected in August earnings guidance.
