A hostile CDC and the Cruise restart in the middle of the flu season aren’t helping either.”
The cruising public isn’t helping a lot either. Many demands on Cruise Critic for guarantees that all cruises will be virus free. That isn’t going to happen.
Rick Munarriz of Motley Fool has picked up on the potential loss of Cruisers. Here is an excerpt-
"Someone's going to have to jump through the CDC hoops, because by the time March rolls around it will have been a year since the industry was generating any kind of meaningful revenue.
The longer the lull the more this becomes about wooing back passengers than simply resuming operations. Cruise lines can't control the vaccination process, but right now the waters are too chilly for the one industry that they can manage."
