Can we just close them off from US ports
Find other countries to dock your plague ships
Post a $billion bond if you expect the US to arrange evacuation flights
“Disclaimer: I own Carnival stock.”
Enough to qualify for the OBC program? We considered buying stock when it’s low to take advantage of that.
I wouldn’t take a cruise, but that’s a personal preference. I think the cruise lines, and their potential customers should be allowed to do as they wish.
Just require COVID-19 antibody assay+ status, prior to boarding
” “What is different about the cruise industry is the very stringent reporting requirements applicable to vessels that do not apply to comparable venues on land where the spread of communicable disease is just as prevalent. It would be a false assumption to connect higher frequency and visibility in reporting to a higher frequency of infection.”
I’ve made this point many times. You don’t see a national news stories every time someone vomits in a Walmart or gets sick from Dairy Queen.
Lol
You’re hysterical
Why not just sink them
Good chance to test our munitions
Shouldn’t put people out of business. We have all been exposed if you have been to a supermarket . This corona virus pandemic is the biggest croc of bull ever. It’s a flu , are we gonna kill every business every flu season?

“Can we just close them off from US ports ... Find other countries to dock your plague ships”
Harsh. A VERY small percentage of cruise ships sailing the world was impacted by this flu being on board.
> the three major lines are continuing to advertise their intent to resume cruising well before late July <
Advertising is different from actual sailing. Perhaps they are advertising in hope that the ban will be lifted earlier. If that’s the case, no harm is done.
But if they actually do cruise during the ban, that’s a different story. Tell them if there are any health problems, they should just sail to their country of registration - Panama, Liberia, or whatever.
And if the registration country is the US, arrest the captain upon his return.
Me too. I got it at 12 dollars. A friend of mine got it at 9. I honestly think the cruise industry will recover.
What percentage has it fallen since you bought it?

Yes. I’ll receive the $250 On Board Credit (OBC) on Carnival cruises as long as I retain at least 100 shares of stock. I bought a lot near its low.
#6 seems to be getting more and more popular these days.

You do realize the cruise industry creates many jobs for Americans, both direct and indirect? Passengers fly to the ports, stay in hotels, and patronize local restaurants. They rent cars, take Uber and Taxi rides.
Closing them off from US ports would mean many would not be able to return to work.

Most of my cruises will only qualify for the $50 or $100 OBC though.

Depends upon the length of the cruise. The credit amount is $50 for cruises of six days or less, $100 for cruises of seven to 13 days and $250 on cruises greater than 13 days.
