That’s what I was thinking. Even if cruise lines get back to business, will anyone want to take a cruise now?
And if they can get some customers by deeply discounting their cruise fares, is that economically viable for them?
Booked a cruise with Holland America in April 2021, Caribbean.
Have been on then several times before, they sent me an offer for a basically free cruise except for port charges. Did have to make a small deposit to reserve that I get back if I get on board. Small enough deposit I’m willing to risk in case of bankruptcy or something else. Could be vaccine by then.
We saw multiple cruise ships leaving port here in Miami on Sunday. It was weird, to be honest. We didn’t see any passengers, so we weren’t sure where they were going.

You might be surprised. Cruise Critic is the major social media site for cruisers. Most posters are eager to resume sailing. In fact, they’re very upset that Florida is reopening without restrictions. They are more worried that they will catch the CV while traveling from the airport to the ship than they are worried about the ship.
