But here is the article anyway. The covid infection on a recent smaller cruise ship testing the waters in the Caribbean will also help the CDC to delay starts from this country. -Tom
Could the whole industry go under?
Reopen as retirement homes. Old people pay more than cruise line fares and would like the better food, friendlier service and their kids might visit.
“Reopen as retirement homes.”
Many retirees already retire on cruise ships. Not a bad thing, either. We actually considered it, but ... cats.
Carnival is talking to the SDS about their 8 day cruises for the first couple of months.....if the SDS wont let these go then Carnival will have to cut them down to 7 day...most passengers wont mind that...
Carnival has several ships doing 6 day then 8 then 6 etc cruises in Jan, Feb etc out of Miami, Port C, Tampa...
Jacksonville and Charleston do mostly 4, 5 day...
If Emperor Joe manages to cheat his way into the WH forget about cruising ever...
Easy money. Have the feds back up bank loans.
Whoops that should have been CDC...
Im busy listening to the War Room..
Perhaps cruise line customers should get vaccine access priority.
Lefties destroy businesses like they destroy everything else. Don’t waste one second trying to understand their motivations. They are anti-social types, sociopaths. They are motivated by the compulsion to harm and destroy. Argument with them will achieve nothing. They are totally convinced of their own rightness.
Don’t commit illegal acts. But lefties do. when you see a lefty stealing on the job, false reporting his time, abusing his/her children, report them to the police. Make their miserable lives even more miserable.
WTF ?
Yeah, its rough all over.
“We actually considered it, but ... cats.”
Cat Overboard?!?! (j/k)
I’m waiting for the last indoor dog to die so I can replace 30 year old carpeting, so I know just what you mean! ;)
It depends of the displacement of the vessel, in that, the weight of the vessel is compared to the weight of the water that the space the ship is taking up while being in the water.
So many people have lost businesses and jobs due to the Dem shut-downs fabricated via the Wuhan Flu.
I feel for Middle America, but I always have a hard time shedding a tear for ‘Luxury’ industries.
I mean, spend your money any way you want, but there are so many sectors of Capitalism that are truly unnecessary for the vast majority of us.
That said, slippery slope, I know. No one should be picking winners and losers, life isn’t fair, even the playing field, blah, blah, blah...
I believe some cruise lines will go Chapt. -11 Bankruptcy and reorganize. -Tom
You *must* be joking.
Just rename all cruises ‘PROTEST’ cruises and all will be fine...
I’d feel sorrier for the Cruise Lines if they were American companies, but they are not.
They deliberately register their ships in countries like the Bahamas to avoid US taxes and regulations.
Remember how shocked these cruise lines were when they found out they weren’t eligible for US Coronavirus bailout money, even though they did most of their business in the USA?
Suddenly, being headquartered in Holland and having your ships registered in Liberia didn’t look too smart.
I bought carnival at 12 dollars and have another bid in for 12 dollars. I had to renew it once already. I thought last week it was going to fall below 12, but it barely didn’t. I’m waiting....
