I picked this somewhat upbeat article to get my 2 cents opinion in about the future of cruise lines.

I don't believe all of the big 3 cruise lines are going to make it without some form of a bankruptcy.

Thy are too far in debt, and with the future looking bleak, I don't see how they can pull it out.

They have aggravated unvaccinated people, have a recession coming that will affect many of their cruisers.

This is not just in this country, but worldwide.

So, in spite of all their happy talk, I figure this fall, the creditors will force a bankruptcy, or a big 3 cruise line will seek on it's own a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. -Tom

I’ve never cruised.

But it seems to me that, given today’s culture, a large number of people confined for an extended period of time almost guarantees violence.

I had intended to do a cruise last year. Been planning it for a couple of years, but the corona and then mandatory vax made that a no go.

With an impending depression and still having to be vaxxed, I have given up on ever going on a cruise.

I hope Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian stay in business, because running a cruise line takes massive intelligence and adventure. Simply deleting the covid vax requirement will keep them ‘afloat’ and going.

So glad. I bought Carnival at 18 last year. :)

I’m booked on 4 cruises over the next 2 years all on Carnival. Cruises are the best way to have a romantic time with your spouse while relaxing.
