They would be the first IMHO to seek bankruptcy if it comes to that, and they suffer anymore setbacks.
These cancellations to me are a good move since they can benefit from the early Cruise line starts of others.
The problem for Norwegian is more money spent and no income for more months.
Our CDC can shut down cruising again, as we get into Jan.-Feb.-March.
WE can't stop the virus in our hospitals or the White House, and yet we expect cruise ships to stop it at the height of the Flu season.
Two cruise lines have tried, and failed overseas already. -Tom
Who would believe that Norwegian Wood do this.
Isnt it good, Norwegian Wood?
Given the tyranny of the CDC, you think Norwegian Woodn’t ?
Bunch of overpaid useless gubment parasites destroying an industry. Sad.
I am not surprised considering the status of covid-19 infections. My guess is March 2021. By then vaccines should be out in force. If they work, psychology of fear will change quickly.
I have always said until the COVID-19 vaccines start rolling out at the end of 2020, don’t expect cruise lines to operate until at least March 2021. I expect both Carnival and Royal Caribbean to start cruises on a very limited basis in March 2021 and fully ramp up by the end of 2021.
Nobody want to take the “Three Hour Tour” and be stuck on a Plague Ship for weeks - or longer...
Too much risk, not of disease, that is an already massive risk - but being stuck on a ship no country will allow to dock...
Trump listened to his dumba$$ doctors. He was using an effective drug earlier in the spring but he stopped using it. And then when Trump had symptoms, he did NOTHING but wait to get sicker.
The following table shows that the virus is EASILY treated and cured, if used within the first FIVE days of symptoms.
I am one of the THOUSANDS on this table who used one of these doctors to treat the China virus. When you loose your smell&taste, it's time to act. I started the drug treatment on the 3rd day of my symptoms.
This YALE Prof/Doctor also says that people are FOOLS to listen to the gubermint's co-conspirators like Fauci. HCQ+Zn is an effective treatment IF GIVEN EARLY.
Fauci is working for PHARMA. IF there is an effective treatment, then PHARMA has to test, cannot use fast cycled drugs. To test normally, PHARMA would loose $BILLIONS. To block the use of HCQ+Zn, PHARMA made $BILLIONS more.
And Fauci is a radical leftist DimWIT.
They should let Migrants borrow the boats until they need them back? That would be some true Scandinavian hospitality?
NYS passed liability protection, both criminal and civil, for nursing homes.
Couldn’t FL pass WuFlu liability protection for cruise operators there?
Go crawl off and sleep in the bath.
Be at ulls tune.
“I am not surprised considering the status of covid-19 infections. My guess is March 2021. By then vaccines should be out in force. If they work, psychology of fear will change quickly.”
I believe about a hundred million Americans will not take the vaccine. There will not be any knowledge of long term side effects for many years.
That will present more problems for the Cruise lines.
Are you going to allow unvaccinated people onboard-or will the CDC allow that? -Tom
Link to the Table, please!
Great info!

Vaccines won’t help. Fauci has already said those vaccines with the earliest availability won’t immunize people, they will only keep them from being symptomatic. IOW, the vaccines will create a bunch of asymptomatic people who can still spread the virus.
I would prefer asymptomatic anytime of the day over symptomatic. If vaccinated people won’t get sick enough to be hospitalized, it will reduce fear of covid-19.
I am now 100% sure I was infected on the Carnival cruise early this year. Had a strange and unusual dry cough for a 10-12 days post-cruise. My body fought it off and I never got sick again, and continuing normal activities. Florida did not close down much at all. All my favorite seafood joints along beach on A1A highway are open. I go to Walmart and Aldi every week. I escort wife every 3 weeks for cancer treatments. I think I am immune from that mild infection in early March. So what if I am 80 years old.
The vaccine will be very effective in reducing fear of covid-19 similar to my losing fear of getting sick.
I hope you’re right about your immunity. I’m fairly certain wife and I contacted CV on a cruise back in sep 2019.
However, many think that a vaccine would allow them to return to normal. If as Fauci claimed, the vaccines would only treat the symptoms, not provide immunity, then those who take the vaccines could still spread the virus.
Look at it this way. Supposedly, you should wear a mask and practice all the protocols in the event you’re infected but asymptomatic. Then the vaccine won’t allow the lifting of the restrictions since you can still infect others. It’s the same old “wear a mask to protect others, not to protect yourself”.

ROYAL CARRIBEAN has joined NORWEGIAN today in shutting down cruises in this country for the rest of the year.
The Question is will CARNIVAL join them shortly?
Stay tuned.-Tom
Excerpt from Cruise Hive tonight. -Tom
“MSC Cruises has joined other major cruise lines by canceling cruises for the remainder of 2020. MSC is not planning on returning to service in the U.S. until January 2021 at the earliest.”.........................................
Can CARNIVAL be far behind? -Tom
Fauci has been wrong so many times, now I am convinced he is just a democrat masquerading as an “expert”.
Europe has been doing everything Fauci is pushing, and their problems are worse by order of magnitude than ours.
I do not believe an asymptomatic infected person exudes enough virus cells to affect healthy people. Unless he/she is talking loudly in your face. I get out of any area in a store if I hear someone coughing because that is how huge number of virus cells are in the air.
A very small number of virus cells entering a healthy person acts similar to a vaccine. All vaccines inject weakened cells into your blood stream, creating immune properties. A minor invasion of virus cells acts in similar manner. That explains why in spite of draconian lockdowns most Europe is worse off than Sweden where minimum lockdowns was the norm. Swedes acquired herd immunity from minor exposures to the virus.
Depend and learn from actual results that relying on self professed experts such as Fauci.
