I think we can get the drift of the CDC cruise killing solution from that paragraph. Delay, delay, delay.-Tom
Even before COVID I wouldn’t set foot on a cruise ship.
Ouch. Going to be a very tough recovery in this industry. Curious as to their debt is and what the payoff period plan may be. Or may not be. Or just accepting bankruptcy and restructure of debt.

Biden and the dems will bale em out...for a cut.
Sink them all, make some great fishing reefs in the GOM
Can they do Zoom cruises until then?
You called it!
No cruising forevermore for us peons.
The abandoned ships will be doled out to the new royalty — Pelosi, McConnell, Biden, etc., for their private use.
It’s going to be an awesome year for airlines, cruises, and commercial real estate...
“From the article - “Carnival has not been able to get test sailings going yet until further guidance from the CDC. Without test sailings, then guest operations can’t resume. The longer the CDC waits in allowing cruises to resume, the more vaccines come into play.”
The CDC and Fauci are only interested in reducing infections, hospitalizations, and deaths with an objective of zero. They view any activity as an impediment to this objective. Given their way, they would have us all in quarantine awaiting our government mandated food rations. If that ruins cruising forever, they would think that is justified if it saves even one life.
Is Carnival planning on putting in even more handicapped rooms?
For those who keep trying to book cruises on these foreign-flagged lines, they should get their refunds while they can.
...and maybe instead get on the Lyn’ Ted family text thread to get latest updates on vacation getaways. /s
Trumps administration was actively working with cruise lines to get them at least partially going again by January.
Guess Biden doesn’t care.
There are a lot of people who were given credit for their cancelled cruises, sometimes well over 100%. Others were lured into purchasing deeply discounted cruises for 2021 with “guaranteed” cancellation and refund policies. Carnival was one of those pushing this, and surprise, just pushed a new $1B stock offering. If a cruise line is bankrupt, shares will be worth little, and credits and guarantees will probably be worthless.
My sister is a big cruise fan. She was on one of the last cruises in Mar 2020 before the shutdown and just booked a 45 day South Pacific cruise for 2022. This pushes her “full amount due” pretty far into the future when things will probably have settled out one way or another.
I don’t have anything against cruising, but prefer more traditional vacation travel. All my cruises have been on Uncle Sam’s Ships.
