That is the classic response - of people who cannot afford to take cruises in the first place.
We could easily afford a cruise. Easily. Without having to finance it or go into debt. I simply have no interest in taking a cruise. I've already been all over the world, so I've had my fill of international travel. I prefer exploring the US now that I'm retired. So I have a travel trailer at my Alaska house for exploring Alaska and another travel trailer at my Arizona winter house for exploring the Lower 48. Unlike a lot of people, I planned for my retirement so that finances would never be a worry for us.
I don't believe cruising is done forever, but our inept and incompetent CDC and the UNWHO can give Cruising a setback, as we have discussed in earlier postings.
Since the article below was written 4 months ago, our CDC has extended the shutdown beyond July, and is looking to get further input to further delay the cruise openings in this country.
This will cause more problems for cruise lines operating ships in and out of our country.

an article from Greg Allen on April 22, 2020- last paragraph.-
Cruise lines have insurance to cover any possible awards or settlements, so the cases are unlikely to have much of a financial impact on the companies. A much larger threat to the industry is the no-sail order in effect in the U.S., its largest market, and the possibility it could be extended beyond July.
Our CDC is NOT INERPT as much as it is ANTI-TRUMP and ANTI FUN!
