IMHO Norwegian is the big cruise line most likely to declare a bankruptcy and reorganize.

Constantly delaying a source of income certainly doesn't help NCL.

The events with the Covid virus are in charge now, and NCL didn't have much of a choice.

I was planning a trip on the NCL Gem ,Boston to Bermuda this month, but it got cancelled.

NCL also now just cancelled the November trip, but I wasn't going anyway because of the onerous covid-19 healh requirements for the cruise passengers.

It is going to be an economically interesting time for all cruise lines in the coming months , and the Covid 19 concerns and reactions to it in many ports around the world.

Time not cruising means idle ship expenses eating up the bottom line, and what do you do with all the employees?-Tom

I’m amazed of the numbers of people who will accept these health requirements. I’m also amazed at those who are not afraid of boarding a ship but are afraid of traveling through Florida to get to the ship. So many are convinced that wearing a mask is more effective than a vaccine.

We are scheduled for a cruise to Alaska in July. It sails out of Seattle. Even if they don’t cancel it, I will probably just get a refund since I am not interested in setting foot in Seattle.

I was suppose to leave this Wed for Europe to cruise on the Carnival Legend from Venice and then a TA home to Tampa...

Then when they were cancelled back in April we booked a cruise to Bermuda on the Pride on Oct 18 from Baltimore...

Then Oct got effected by the No Sail Ban ....

My next cruise isn’t until Jan from Tampa and who knows if we will be cruising then ???

and that one was a replacement for the cancelled Mardi Gras because it wont be here in the US until Feb if even then...

Between already established cruises and replacement cruises Ive had 8 cruises cancelled due to the Wu Hu Flu...

So what if I scored a nice heap of OBC ???

I NEED A CRUISE !!!!!!!
