We will have to see in the next few months how this works out for the cruise lines.

Always lurking in the background is the covid onboard problem.-Tom

These cruise lines illegally forced their employees to take the Jim Jones Jab or be fired. Let these cruise lines go completely out of business and have their assets bought by companies that wouldn’t think of experimenting on human beings without their consent.

The central question is whether their restart revenues are generating enough to service the large amount of debt they took on during the shutdown. They could be in a losing race to the bottom. Cancelling sailings and turning away potential passengers do not bode well for revenue generation. OTOH, their financiers do not want to own a bunch of rusting hulks to be sold for razor blades, either.

Yes!

The big ships won’t survive another year, imo.
Small, more exclusive lines will probably make it.

My Filipino bud directly has a relative who runs the largest seaman / mariner school in Manila. It is a fact that a THIRD of seafaring crews commercially are Filipinos.

After the first 2 years of vaxx on the students, who felt ill, they literally told the tanker lines to knock off the vaxx guidelines or else. The tanker lines eventually caved but the cruise lines said no. And here we are..

Well, I’ll take oil over the cruise I wasn’t going to take, so at least we’ve got that going for us.

Staffing shortages have more to do with the government processing passports. Plenty of takers from 3rd world countries. It is alluded to in the article. A private company should have the right to mandate the shot as a condition of employment. Sad state of affairs.

Forced (ineffective) medication with side effects as a condition of employment?

You’re nuts.

Many people are now testing positive while they’re on a cruise. They’re taken out of their cabin & moved to a quarantine deck. People on cruises are then taken off the ship to a hotel to quarantine and must test positive before they’re allowed to return to the US. I’m reading these posts everyday on FB from people who are going through this in Italy, UK, etc.

Well. There’s the answer to my earlier question in a different thread about staffing. Now the question remans - did the large cruise lines borrow enough to survive the Biden administration?

What law was broken?

What law was broken when Nazi doctors experimented on those they deemed undesirables? Just because no law was broken doesn't mean what was done, and what was demanded was right.

CCL missed Q2 estimates with a $1.21 /s loss. Still projecting a profit for 2022 with rising ticket prices.

'I’m reading these posts everyday on FB from people who are going through this in Italy, UK, etc.'

Testing Positive and Using the ‘Backdoor’ to Get Into the U.S. Entering the United States by air requires a negative coronavirus test. Some people who can’t provide one are using a workaround: flying to Canada or Mexico, then entering via a land border.

Correct. I don't give a damn about any cruise line, or any other company, that forced its employees to take the jab or lose their jobs.

It's disgraceful that we've violated the Nuremburg agreement about experimental medicine.

Whaaaat? “Inject this heroin into your veins in or you cannot work at our private company”. Wrong on EVERY level. Get a grip man.

Are you vaxxed? If so, your brain and logical reasoning skills have been affected bigly.

Holy crap what’s wrong with people?

When passengers are taken to a hotel to quarantine do the passengers pay that expense or does the ship?
