I really hope the Cruise lines survive. The Petri dish stuff is BS and can be largely mitigated. Remember that navy ship. The people on that ship are in MUCH closer contact then even the lowest budget cruise ship and not even 10% got infected.
If it can be mitigated, why is noro an annual problem?
And between WuFlu and noro, I’d rather have the former.
At least Carnival should survive. Been on seven of their cruises out of FL and all were perfect 5/5. Ate all kinds of foods even on excursions and never had even an upset stomach.
The bookings spike is likely real as cruising addicts are grabbing future cruise savings going forward, as far out as they can book. My June Bahamas cruise will be cancelled so I’ll cancel and receive 100% refund then book another to replace it at substantial savings. May buy a few more at the current savings further out.
Bought stock too but expecting a big hit tomorrow on CDC overreach. It’ll be withdrawn or amended in the future imo but it’ll be a short term dump. CDC trolls just playing Pump and Dump. Huge money to be made for savvy investing. Wish I’d dumped all my stock on Friday along with the CDC employees and their friends in govt and families.
