All the mask, vaccination requirements, covid testings are not going to fill those ships up with paying passengers. -Tom
Then you add a touch of “real life” to a rough situation and it doesn’t get better. Horizon (3 years old), is now on its way to Gibralter for a propulsion system overhaul ... that shouldn’t have happened to such a new ship. When it rains it pours. (Good luck Carnival!)
I should have been on an 8-day birthday cruise this week, but Carnival cancelled my booking because Im not jabbed ...
I also lost cruises through to the end of march ...
With the new requirement for children to be jabbed cruise lines are going to have a hard time filling their ships not every parent is panting to arrange for the unnecessary poison to be jabbed into their children in order to take a floating casino vacation ...
Carnival Cruise Lines CCL has taken on $24 billion of long term debt in the past two years to keep themselves afloat as they deal with the China Pandemic.
CCL used to have $7 billion of long term debt on their books and now they have over $31 billion.
CCL, like the other cruise lines, is in bad shape. And there is no end in sight.
Can anyone who has sailed in the last 6 months confirm this ...
Have the stockholder benefit been eliminated ?
Carnival used to be 50/100/250 $ depending on length of trip
And in the finance arena — when was the last time Carnival paid a dividend ? How much ?
Wife and I have done 30+ cruises, platinum Carnival members.
We refuse to take the clot shots and the cruise lines have to follow CDC regs that mandate them.
I pray the cruise lines survive, they are our fav vacations. Sadly, I doubt cruising will return to normal.
