Are the cruise lines having pro lens with staffing? I know the focus has been on debt service and fuel costs, but when a ship sails with 60% passenger capacity, is there enough staff?
Because the cruise lines spin the reduction in passengers onboard, it is trouble figuring out whether they have reduced the number of passengers to avoid covid outbreaks, or because they can't get the crews necessary to have full ships, or they don't have passengers interested enough to fill the ships to capacity.
The bottom line is if you are not sailing with full ships you aren't making enough money to pay off the Billions of dollars in debt you owe. - Tom
Thank you for the explanation have heard a number of people mention this company and I was unfamiliar with them.
Will try to analyze this all some later.
All I know is the cruise industry has gotten hit extremely hard by COVID and since.
So I would certainly understand there being reasons for concern for the industry.
I realize I am no expert.
