A few new homeports like Bermuda and the Caribbean ports could also be added to this article.

Income of any sort is needed for these Cruise lines- and unusual measures have to be taken.-Tom

As much as I know they need the money. I’ll pass on all of that nonsense

Why in in the world would anyone cruise for recreation if it’s going to be essentially a floating prison with draconian lock down measures. Yes, I’ll pay you good money so I can wear a mask outside and be watched 24x7 to make sure I don’t violate a rule!

Florida cruise lines have taken a rational position: they have the right to say who they will and won't accepted as passengers.

Florida cruise lines will only accept people who have been vaccinated (they're NOT saying everyone has to get vaccinated - they're saying if YOU want to be a customer - and travel on their lines - YOU have to be vaccinated.)

The message to the public is this: 70% of Floridians are vaccinated - but if you're on one of OUR cruises 100% of the people you'll be around are vaccinated. Meaning YOU'RE safer on a cruise than you are in the average Florida restaurant or theme park.

It's a strong sell and Gov. DeSantis is suing the CDC for blocking our cruise lines from doing business out of Florida ports.

Tragic for the people in the industry. But that sounds like no fun at all. And with the communists in DC and NY pushing us towards a devastating currency collapse as fast as they can, it’s not a time to waste time or money on such a frivolous pursuit.

nothing like cruising around for a week and going no where. If they just go out for a bit pretend to me moving and come back they will save all kinds of fuel. I’ve never done a cruise as i just went wherever i wanted to go. None seemed to go to the right places. There was always one or two places you never wanted to go like puerto rico or the Dominican republic. or jamaica. The worst part of traveling to the carribean was having to fly thru puerto rico. I think there was a direct flight one year to st maarten.

I hope that they check all the drain-cocks and make sure that they are closed. That’s one thing they should be “doing to stay afloat”.

Another is to band peg-legged men with swords, an eye patch and a parrot on their shoulders.

However, I would put Stacey Abrams on the bow, like DeCaprio in “Titanic”. She would make any iceberg flee in terror or melt right on the spot, and whales would commit suicide immediately rather than have to look at the Medusa-faced warthog. (Are those snakes in your hair, Stacey, or just head-worms?).
