Problem is the line in the report ‘ lack of advance bookings’. This as opposed to Carnival that is booking like crazy.
Norwegian is making a business decision. It is there choice as to how to deal with the customer base. I get emails from them just about every other day on take this trip or that, but none really sound that appealing until cruising becomes safe.
I think part of the reason Carnival is booking so well is it’s not requiring a note from a physician saying the passenger is free of health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, etc. That’s what RCL is requiring currently. So imo their customers are flocking to Carnival.
Carnival appears not to be using all it's ships right away in the comeback.
Also Carnival has 20 more cruise ships coming in the next 5 years, that may be hard to fill.

Carnival was going to start June 27 but just cancelled those sailings and is now starting Aug 1 for that month with only 8 ships out of 3 ports Galveston, Miami, and Port Canaveral...starting Sept 1 they will only go out of US ports on the East Coast for the rest of the year...Not Alaska, Hawaii or CA...Theyre getting fully booked...
