This all sucks! I think finding a cruise in 2021 will be difficult as you said. In 2022 I will just have to book double the number lol.
I am surprised the CEOs of these Cruise Lines keep cheerleading the fact that no income may go on for another year thru 2021.
Without looking it up, I would imagine the big 3 cruise Lines CARNIVAL, ROYAL and NORWEGIAN, make about 40% of their income on cruises originating in the USA, or coming into the USA.
IMHO downsizing is in the future for these lines, or some form of bankruptcy.-Tom
I wouldn't worry about it. The Points Guy shills non-stop for the cruising industry and I find this "you'd better book right now! more consistent with their shilling than any real trends. All through COVID they were featuring one article after another on the glories of cruising. Combine that with their smug left wing promotion of social causes. I don't know but I would be VERY surprised if they get less than half their money from the cruise lines.
