Carnival has temporarily closed two restaurants on all of its ships. Norwegian and Cunard have capped cruise ship capacities and canceled sailings.
The cruise industry could be in rocky waters again:
Like on-land hospitality companies, cruise lines haven't been immune to worker shortages" amid the Great Resignation. And now, a lack of available cruise workers has begun affecting itineraries and onboard amenities.
Not all cruise companies have been as fortunate as Holland America or Royal Caribbean.
Guests sailing with Carnival will also be spared from itinerary changes. But this doesn't mean it'll be smooth sailing for the cruise line. Carnival will temporarily close two restaurants across all of its ships, Fran Golden reported for Bloomberg.
"Our rapid restart has required us to bring back thousands of crew members in a very short time, which has increased the number of resources needed for government officials to process the large number of visa applications and slowed down our ability to fully staff some of our functions, including our culinary team," a Carnival spokesperson told Insider ...
Similarly, Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America, which typically operates with over 900 crew members, is now accommodating under 550 workers, Claudette Covey reported for Travel Pulse. As a result, the cruise line has cut the ship's guest capacity as it sails in Hawaii. And some unluckier guests traveling on overbooked ships will have to be rebooked on different itineraries, a spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line told Insider.
Like Norwegian, Cunard has limited the number of guests and canceled sailings aboard its Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria ships, blaming the "wider impact of COVID-19" on its difficulties with hiring.
There may not be an immediate relief in sight, but a Cunard spokesperson has told Insider that these "necessary" cancellations and capacity issues will be "short term."

Closing restaurants??!!
What are the eaters going to do all day?
That's exactly what happened to a woman I know well.
She took a cruise on a Celebrity ship from Florida to Europe, about a month ago.
She is such an avid cruiser she will go again if Celebrity makes her a good offer.
A lot of people would be discouraged if they went thru her experience.-Tom
Carnival Cruise line borrowed another Billion dollars quietly, last week, to keep on going.-Tom
Can’t find enough vaxxed workers.
“closing restaurants”......what are they going to throw-up then?
Let’s go Brandon!
That’s surprising that she wants to cruise again. We just got over Covid & we quarantined at home for 5 days. Glad we weren’t stuck in a foreign country.
I meant Not positive.
People will always get hit with the virus.

Forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/)
"The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:"
"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."
"The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity."
"The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury."
"Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death."
"The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment."
"During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible."
The Nuremberg Kodex and the Declaration of Helsinki formed the basis for the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 45 Part 46.
Me: What law was broken?
You: Forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947.
Nuremburg Code is not law.
In the referenced example, no one was forced.
“Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 45 Part 46.”
Ships are not flagged in U.S.

The Nuremberg Code applies to any legitimate and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was adopted by the United Nations.
Even the lawyers for the pharmaceutical korporations excluded illegal aliens from their agreements with governments because they knew they would be exposed to lawsuits that the invaded country couldn't throw out in court. Even the lawyers for the pharmaceutical korporations admit they broke the law.

“and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was adopted by the United Nations.”
Treaty, not law. Please cite where treaty was broken.
