Well, why not. They are going to get billion$ of taxpayer money to see them through. No need to go through the motions.
The cost of a run of the mill cruise ship today is about a half a billion dollars.
Many cruise lines have bigger ships costing a billion dollars.
So tieing up these ships and paying tens of thousands of dollars to employees, can be a major economic problem, not to mention the collateral damage to airlines and hotels and travel agencies etc.
The real dammage depends on how long this lasts. -Tom

I sure hope not. First, they’re not essential to operation of our economy. Second, when that Love Boat loaded up with Coronavirus, they should have TAKEN THE HINT and ended things right there. But they did not. Had they stopped at that point, I might have more sympathy for them...but now, LET THEM ROT!
