Carnival Cruise Line said on Monday it has extended its pause in operations for North American voyages until Sept. 30, as it determines how to safely resume service amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cruise industry has taken a major hit from the novel coronavirus pandemic, with some of the earliest large clusters of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the virus, occurring aboard cruise ships in which thousands of passengers and crew were packed in tight quarters.

To survive for months without revenue, the companies have issued debt and pursued additional funding. In May, Norwegian completed a $2.4 billion fundraising through debt and equity offerings. Norwegian Chief Executive Officer Frank Del Rio told Reuters at that time that the $3.5 billion in cash that the company had on hand would be enough to bankroll it for “at least 18 months” without new revenue.

Really... Ya think.. COVID numbers are up despite what corporations think..

Cruise industry is toast. No one will be subjected to daily temperature checks, invasive questionnaires, contact tracing via room key, silly plastic shields around casino tables and cabin invasions/disinfections.

floating petri dishes stopcruisers

Great news for ocean life.

Just what we need again, petri dishes.

We are book to sail out of Miami, FL in August on RoyalCaribbean I guess they are still thinking about what to do and are delaying an announcement until tomorrow. Not sure what will change between today and tomorrow.

Cruise ships should be BANNED during this pandemic. Remember, they had wayyyy more issues in food poisoning, cleanliness and everything else on a these packed petri dishes, called a cruise ship(s). Vacation on these COVID19 vessels at your peril.
