There was a relatively long thread on this subject that appears to have been deleted. It somewhat inevitably developed a political tone. I suspect this will be as well, before that happens again.

Outstanding article, excellent summation of what is currently known - two of the 4 authors are Pulitzer winners.  The Washington Post can always be counted upon for reliable and well documented articles.

I was able to open the video and article.  Well it doesn't look good for the cruise industry until a vaccine is developed.

No problem accessing it at all. It was a very instructive article on the tone deafness of cruise industry executives during the beginning of the pandemic. It was pretty damning...

 

This was the article that was deleted from here Sunday morning so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't last.

 

Cliff notes version is featured on YouTube's Washington Post website...

Thank you! I know a lot of tips and tricks, but that one had escaped me until your post.

 

As for the article, I thought it was an excellent summary.

CHILLING!

One CEO's statement that the ship had more social distancing than Central Park really made me laugh!    Does he really believe that or did it just roll out?

 

But at some point ths Cruise Industry and cruisers will have to move on!
