CARNIVAL is the largest cruise line in the world, with the largest number of cruise lines and number of ships-about 100 cruise ships- under its control.

I have been impressed with the way the CEO of Carnival has handled this pandemic.
He has sold/scrapped 18 ships, made extensive cruise cancellations, cut expenses, and ran the company as if it was in a re-organization bankruptcy.

Carnival has the most money of their own, plus Billions borrowed, to better survive this pandemic, more so than Royal Caribbean and especially Norwegian Cruise lines.

To me Norwegian is the weak sister of those 3 biggest cruise lines.

CARNIVAL also just made many cancellations of cruises indicating to me a slow deliberate start, and not trusting the CDC or Covid-19. -Tom
