This article takes a look at the cruise industry and its chances of renewing cruising . They don't see it happening until March 2021.

IMHO if it goes on into March 2021 Norwegian will go Chapter 11 to reorganize, and may have some company, as the other cruise lines re-evaluate their posiion with their creditors.

CARNIVAL LINE is spending 700 million per month with little or no income during the shutdown. - Tom

More room to toss Mitt Romney in the ocean.

The full last line in the article is :It would be interesting to see which companies will be able to survive such a hit and which companies will secure government bail-outs as a result.

One thing for sure, we will know in a few days. -Tom

Just restrict bookings to healthy people under age 60 for a trial period of say 3-4 months. Death rates for healthy people under age 60 from covid-19 is 0.5%....lower than auto crashes, drug overdoses, AIDS, drug resistant TB. They recover fast.

I’m not surprised. With the ships tied up in port since more or less March 2020, it will take a couple of months to being the ships back to operational condition.

Great. :( NCL is one of my husband’s biggest clients.

Financial analysts are 100% right when telling you what happened in the past. Otherwise, not so much. Consider a China Plague vaccination coming out before Christmas or maybe even by Thanksgiving. That reopens the cruise industry.
