And they just had a fiasco on the Norwegian Gem that is presently returning to port after a covid outbreak, and they will give the passengers a full refund.
Norwegian has to be in economic trouble; but not according to the experts. -Tom
Not good.
If we can trust history in the future, history will be written and show this was the worlds biggest fraud on human beings.
Nobody is dying from Omicron.

Omicron Makes Biden’s Vaccine Mandates Obsolete
“Data from Denmark and the Canadian province of Ontario indicate that vaccinated people have higher rates of Omicron infection than unvaccinated people.” More:
“There is no evidence so far that vaccines are reducing infections from the fast-spreading variant. ... there have been mass Omicron outbreaks in heavily vaccinated populations, scientists are highly uncertain the existing vaccines can stop it from spreading. ... there should be sufficient evidence that the vaccine is efficacious in preventing serious infection and/or transmission.” For Omicron, there is as yet no such evidence. ...
The little data we have suggest the opposite. One preprint study found that after 30 days the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines no longer had any statistically significant positive effect against Omicron infection, and after 90 days, their effect went negative—i.e., vaccinated people were more susceptible to Omicron infection. Confirming this negative efficacy finding, data from Denmark and the Canadian province of Ontario indicate that vaccinated people have higher rates of Omicron infection than unvaccinated people.

Nobody is dying from Omicron.
I agree. I have said from day one, it's us older people with health problems that should be concerned, and let the rest of the people go about their everyday life. -Tom
Did entropy ever take off on his latest cruise?
He may be too too busy cooking and cleaning to check in :-(
The horror! 😂
I wonder if these cruise line qualify for Covid relief? Might be cheaper for them to not ship out. Just keep the ships in dock, employees unpaid, and collect bailout money.
What a shame.
Unlike the Airlines, these cruise ships are foreign flagged, and can't get any bailout money from this country. - Tom
I’m not a cruise liner sort of guy. I’d charter a sailboat.
My sister seems to love cruises, but being in a floating hotel doesn’t really seem like a vacation to me.
What an opportunity for the Pope. He could probably lease a few of these boats dirt cheap. Why let all those migrants languish at borders , on Greek islands or die trying to cross the Med in flimsy boats. Each cruise ship could transport 4-5,000 in relative comfort to the Pope’s underpopulated native Argentina.
I am booked on Carnival cruise in January and another in February. On the phone their rep told me all Carnival cruise ships will sail as scheduled through March 31st.
But Carnival is offering full refunds to booked passengers who are scared of Omicron.
Are any in danger of becoming a Regency?
Yuge difference between hotel & cruise ship.
Cruise ship has Vegas style stage shows every evening, unlimited eating all day and night, dozen bars some with live music for listening or dancing, movies, swimming pools, hot tubs, large casino, tax free shops, all without driving and hassles of parking, all in one place just a few steps away. Best if all, it is safer by orders of magnitude than a hotel room. Strangers can not walk into a ship. And now every passenger is certified fully vaxxed and checked for negative covid test within 48 hours of sailing. Land hotels and restaurants do not have such stringent covid protocols.
I rescheduled our Caribbean cruise on Celebrity Equinox next Friday to Sept. 8 on the same ship. Not so much out of fear of COVID but I worried about some of our destinations either shutting down or requiring restrictions. In particular Aruba.
True, but I have been sick as a dog for 9 days with this variant.
I had COVID in early 2020, was hospitalized twice from it. It really did a number on my lungs. Never jabbed, won’t take it.
Just got over pneumonia last month and was ready to start 2022 healthy and strong.
Nope. This is kicking my tail.
On a cruise out to sea but don’t see the sea. Sounds fun...
That’s great!
I thought you also had one booked for right about now.
