They are not cruising from USA ports as our CDC still has them on a no-go status from our ports. They are moving to new ports out side USA to resume cruising.

Seems like the Cruise Lines are getting tired of our CDC delays and have to get some income stream going to keep the creditors, and business from further deterioration.-Tom

Problem is airfare to St Martin and it’s regulations. Bahamas, cheap to get to etc.

“More Losing!”

I believe like myself, The Cruise Lines thought a less political naive Pres. Trump would be re-elected, and the problems with cruising would be worked out.

Now like us, the Cruise Lines have to deal with a hostile indifferent political force, and the Cruise Lines have to make radical adjustments to survive.

AS I have said, probably too often, this Cruise shutdown, is like watching a slow motion train wreck. (unfortunately that train wreck example also, IMHO, applies to our country) -Tom

I’m not getting on a boat with 3800 passengers and close to 1200 crew members. Almost 5000 folks? No thanks.

“THOUSANDS of JOBS LOST here in Florida!!! THOUSANDS!!

The Demorat(socialists-communists- American haters) get a bonus out of keeping Florida shut down on Cruising.

Places like Florida’s Port Miami and Port Canaveral, have spent hundreds of millions to modernize Cruise facilities. They also employ thousands of workers in the Cruise industry collaterally, or directly.
Florida Gov. DeSantis is a leading Republican candidate for re-election or to even make a VP or Presidential bid.

So the democrats are not inclined to help out Florida in any way. -Tom

As i’ve said numerous times the leftist a-holes who infest the CDC think cruise ships are nothing but floating playgrounds for rich White people. They would like to see the ships scrapped, hundreds of thousands of US jobs be damned.

“As i’ve said numerous times the leftist a-holes who infest the CDC think cruise ships are nothing but floating playgrounds for rich White people.”

Then they have never been on a cruise out of Galveston (African-American) or any cruise to Hawaii (Japanese, Chinese other East Asian).

Thanks!

On the one hand, I’m delighted that they make their stuff here.

On the other hand, I will never buy that pin, or carry a dang card.

And I toss my disposable masks after removal so I won’t need a mask holder.

But I’ll check out their website to see what else they have! :-)

As I said before, the Cruise lines should invite the leaders of the CDC for a nice cruise in a gorgeous suite.......and tell them how much they HATE DeSantis! :)
