No matter the circumstances, the cruise lines return will be a happy moment for thousands of guests as cruise bookings remain at the same level as last year for many lines, and in some cases, even higher. It looks like the public’s confidence in the cruise industry has been at a high level throughout the pandemic as most cruises scheduled for the end of the year and beyond are sold out.

Even if the ships fill with passengers, where are they going to go? Right now, there aren’t many islands looking forward to ships dumping thousands of potentially infected Americans on their doorstep. The island economies are scraping bottom because tourism is nonexistent, but that hasn’t tempered the inner totalitarian of the leaders who control these islands.

It’s not like many cruisers haven’t already been subjected to worse treatment both onboard and ashore.

It appears quite a few have a built-up immunity after bouts with noroviruses and all inclusive liquor&beverage packages.

I think CDC officials should have a few cruises of their own if they already haven’t done so. The Arctic and Amazon itineraries come to mind as a good match for them.
