Can you imagine trying to run cruises with the obstructions being placed in the way, such as dealing with CDC type health officials in many countries, the unending Covid -19 contradictions, tryin to set up a schedule with ports arbitrarily closing, after you paid for printing brochures to feature the itineraries, trying to keep enough people working , as they look to bail out into new careers, trying to placate would-be travelers, and of course keeping your creditors at bay, plus a ton of other considerations, etc. all this after your company lost Billions of dollars, while you drift into an uncertain future.
Well I am glad right now all I have to avoid is eating to much apple pie tomorrow after the Thanksgiving turkey dinner with my family, and also avoid the corona virus. -Tom
“Shocking numbers released by Stock Apps show the industry is on track to lose around $20 billion in revenues this year.”
Perhaps, they do not have the best of business models.
Incredible. It doesn’t look good for the cruise industry. So many variables, so little time.
This impacts so many jobs - at sea and on land - all over the world.
As always thank you for sharing the latest cruise news.
That’s a shame. I always liked taking cruises. Royal Caribbean was the best. Never had a bad experience. Food and drink everywhere you turn. I had to walk the decks every morning for an hour or two just to burn off some of those calories. Then I’d have a Bloody Mary to start the day right.
Floating petri dishes.

The goalposts *should* be pretty simple. No one catches Covid or any other communicable or food-borne disease. That’s all they have to guarantee me to go on a cruise again. However if it’s their fault that I get sick I expect a full refund of all expenses and a generous reimbursement for my time.
Been on two cruises, one was horrible, one was magnificent. Going to go again in a few years.
If you have cash and patience I bet you could get a beautiful cruise ship at a deep discount.

A lifetime of memories....
Good news... Large 1000 room ships will be available soon for a great price, tons of amenities. Fuel and maintenance may be a bit pricey for some.
The lines are only the tip of the iceberg. The ports and the local economies are hurting too.
The socialists around the world do not care. Look at the USA where literally half the business’s closed in democrat run cities and the democrats are trying to destroy the rest.
