Norwegian is the weak sister of the 3 biggest cruise lines.(CARNIVAL, ROYAL, NORWEGIAN.)

They would be the first IMHO to seek bankruptcy if it comes to that, and they suffer anymore setbacks.

These cancellations to me are a good move since they can benefit from the early Cruise line starts of others.

The problem for Norwegian is more money spent and no income for more months.

Our CDC can shut down cruising again, as we get into Jan.-Feb.-March.

WE can't stop the virus in our hospitals or the White House, and yet we expect cruise ships to stop it at the height of the Flu season.

Two cruise lines have tried, and failed overseas already. -Tom

I am not surprised considering the status of covid-19 infections. My guess is March 2021. By then vaccines should be out in force. If they work, psychology of fear will change quickly.

I have always said until the COVID-19 vaccines start rolling out at the end of 2020, don’t expect cruise lines to operate until at least March 2021. I expect both Carnival and Royal Caribbean to start cruises on a very limited basis in March 2021 and fully ramp up by the end of 2021.

Nobody want to take the “Three Hour Tour” and be stuck on a Plague Ship for weeks - or longer...

Too much risk, not of disease, that is an already massive risk - but being stuck on a ship no country will allow to dock...

WE can't stop the virus in our hospitals or the White House

Trump listened to his dumba$$ doctors. He was using an effective drug earlier in the spring but he stopped using it. And then when Trump had symptoms, he did NOTHING but wait to get sicker.

The following table shows that the virus is EASILY treated and cured, if used within the first FIVE days of symptoms.

I am one of the THOUSANDS on this table who used one of these doctors to treat the China virus. When you loose your smell&taste, it's time to act. I started the drug treatment on the 3rd day of my symptoms.

This YALE Prof/Doctor also says that people are FOOLS to listen to the gubermint's co-conspirators like Fauci. HCQ+Zn is an effective treatment IF GIVEN EARLY.

VIDEO Fauci during the AIDES years also played the testing needed game, 17,000 died because Fauci insisted double blind testing is needed before he would approve what they knew was an effective drug

Fauci is working for PHARMA. IF there is an effective treatment, then PHARMA has to test, cannot use fast cycled drugs. To test normally, PHARMA would loose $BILLIONS. To block the use of HCQ+Zn, PHARMA made $BILLIONS more.

And Fauci is a radical leftist DimWIT.

They should let Migrants borrow the boats until they need them back? That would be some true Scandinavian hospitality?

NYS passed liability protection, both criminal and civil, for nursing homes.

Couldn’t FL pass WuFlu liability protection for cruise operators there?

And here is a very recent example of a Cruise ship out of Barbados and out out of the jurisdiction of our CDC, trying to accomplish a Caribbean trip without a Covid infection. - Tom

Caribbean Cruise Ship Headed Back to Homeport After Positive COVID Test
Ben Souza
November 11, 2020

The first cruise ship to sail to the Caribbean since March is headed back to its homeport after a passenger tested positive for COVID-19 SeaDream I departed from Barbados on Saturday to become the first cruise ship to cruise to the Caribbean in eight months. Four days into the cruise, the ship is now headed back to its homeport after the positive test.
