Later this week another big 3 cruise Line (Norwegian) will give their report. The report should not be good since the other big 3 companies, Carnival and Royal have at least reduced their fleet size to try to stay afloat.

To be at the mercy of health depts. like our CDC and our politicians , makes it just bout impossible to run a company in this country. The politicians and he CDC don't care about the citizens, never mind Cruise Line outsiders who are in businesses, and not paying them a lot of money.-Tom

IATA’s count of those unemployed in the travel industry during the last year tops 80 million people worldwide.

I love traveling and have enjoyed the cruises I’ve been on. I was very much looking forward to cruising again and taking my children.

However I will not take a vaccine just to travel. There no way I’m accepting, into my body, an untested medication that does not provide immunity for a disease that I am not really at risk for. Nope.

There’s a larger agenda driving this vaccine bullcrap. And I refuse to participate.

I’m sorry that the industry is suffering, but complying with vaccine mandates is not the answer. I hope the industry stands strong and pushes back, because this is over blown & ridiculous.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a painful and profound impact on our world and our business; unquestionably, this crisis is the most difficult in the company’s history.

It's not the COVID-19 pandemic that is having an impact on business. It's our own government that is doing it. They just can't see through that.

I agree. The whole thing seems silly to me. Why not have the passengers sign a waiver that they will not hold the cruise line responsible should they get sick on the cruise. I would happily do that and I am a loyal RCCL customer.

I've been living pretty much a normal life over the past year. I go to Manhattan for work at least once a week. I've travelled from Maine to Florida and taken my normal vacations. I go to restaurants. I go to casionos. I go outside in public pretty much every single day without a mask and only wear one when compelled to such as inside a store or on a train.

I'm healthy as can be. I would have no problem whatsoever getting on a cruise ship. But like you, if I have to get vaccinated, I'll just go camping or something instead.

Airlines, cruises, restaurants, Mom & Pop stores, entertainment, gyms, hotels, tourism, bars, real estate, etc..

And the Dow is at 31,500.
I guess all is well...

“It’s our own government that is doing it.”

Green New Deal compliments of the RATs. Ending or hugely reducing airline travel and cruising always has been their targets.

Cruising is over. Forever. And I’m pissed.

I’m for “I Don’t Care If I Get Covid Only” cruises. Give me freedom.

“And the Dow is at 31,500.”

As the lamestream media will put it...

“The economy has made an outstanding turnaround for the better under the stellar leadership of the Biden administration as evidenced by the Dow Jones average setting daily new record highs.”

I wrote about the clash between the truely rich and the discount nomads who wander the world.

I saw that attitude first hand while sitting at a yacht club invaded by cruisers on a tour.

They invaded the space the rich occupy, and it must be stopped at all costs...to the plebeians of the world.

I am glad I’m old and was able to live a normal life, in relative freedom. My heart breaks for family and friends who have decades in the future to deal with.

(I do like your ad!) ;)

My family has a cruise planned for May - it had already been postponed from last year.

The cruise company is adamant that the cruise go on - at 30% capacity.

We are required to take a COVID test 74 hours before boarding whether or not we’ve had the vaccination or not.

No discount on the cruise fare, however, but the air fare was reasonable.

We’ve canceled a lot of travel and family get-togethers last year but are determined to carry on with this cruise.

Prices at Carnival are coming down for 2022....

I got my 6th and hopefully last booking (fingies and toesies cross we cruise) on the new Mardi Gras for Sept 2022 for less than the price when the bookings first opened in Jan 2019 ...

It could be they are filling the ships to the normal passenger capacity or near that for next year...
