I’m afraid this industry is cruisin’ for a bruisin’. Customers have short memories, sure, but the only way you get them back on cruises en masse in the near term will be with extremely low prices... and that’s probably what the big cruise lines will do, but the bottom line won’t be pretty.
It’s going to be a couple of years before I start traveling again, period. Who knows what else is floating around out there now.
I think you are going to find that all business trips are dead now as well. Nobody is going to spend the time, money, and risk now that they realize everything can be done on Zoom
That seems to be a reasonable attitude.
What the Cruise lines have to do is keep their creditors off their backs who have loaned them BILLIONS of dollars, to give them time to reorganize on their own, and make a go of it without being forced into bankruptcy.
We are going to be just as big as we were before Covid, and maybe bigger won't pay the bills. -Tom
The problem with cruises will be those self-important idiots that are sick, and know they are sick, but will get on a cruise ship anyway rather than rescheduling for a later date because they just don’t want to miss their vacation.
