He also said that cruising by default leads to social gatherings so I am not expecting cruising to start any time soon. CCL took on $6 Billion in debt at high rates to last out 2020 and I don't think they would have taken on that debt if they felt it wasn't needed. Listening to his interview this afternoon reinforces my belief no one is going on a cruise any time soon. All the major cruise lines have raised cash/increased debt like you mentioned about Carnival. That makes me think the cruise lines know something we don’t...i.e. it’s going to be a long time before cruise lines resume operations (like 2021). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mdin Posted April 15, 2020 #28 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Major sports leagues are discussing the possibility of resuming in June, but with no fans in attendance. This may even carry over to football in the fall. Until these leagues are allowed to have fans in attendance (even in reduced capacity), I don't see how cruise ships will be allowed to sail.

Aplmac Posted April 15, 2020 #29 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Geeez, sports events without the usual thousands of fans sounds like great fun, doesn't it? LOL Can't imagine anything worse for the poor/unfortunate players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ontheweb Posted April 15, 2020 #30 Share Posted April 15, 2020 One thing to think about. Once the cruise lines start again, whenever that happens, the one thing they cannot afford is another outbreak on a ship. With the negative publicity that would bring about, they would not only be shut down, but might not be able to sail again for a very, very long time. And even when they started up after that, would there be customers willing to be on a cruise ship? So, I would think that they would be real conservative with their real start up dates.

We cruised to Canada on the Glory from Boston. It's been a while, but what a nice trip. Halifax, St John, Portland (Maine) and Sydney. Airfare from Houston to Boston was nearly as much as the cruise! . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRocks Posted April 15, 2020 #32 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Great link, info contained VERY helpful, THANX! Glad I went ahead and requested a refund for our 5/25 cruise outta NYC.

outdoors27 Posted April 15, 2020 #34 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Not gonna dwell on things if we sail on our June 27th cruise, awesome. If not no big deal as we have 3 booked for 2021. Been on 23 cruises and have never been sick (Other than self inflicted drinking), been working just about everyday since this thing broke out as an essential worker and I've survived. I'm going to try and stay positive and hopeful cruising will start up again this summer. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cushing985 Posted April 15, 2020 #36 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I personally feel the Alaska season won't happen and other trips won't happen until October at the earliest. Would I bet on it? Nope...too many unknowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Roz Posted April 16, 2020 #47 Share Posted April 16, 2020 For those of us who have to fly to port cities, it doesn't matter if cruise lines resume cruising if we can't get there. Great deals for those who live within driving distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDR during World War II said that Major League Baseball should play since that would be good for the morale of the country. The same should apply now.

MRVEGAS711 Posted April 16, 2020 #50 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Since California may ban all concerts and sporting events until 2021. I think my Panorama September cruise is quite iffy. Furthermore, who will crew these ships?? Not the same ones dying of Covid stuck at see this very moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
