I heard a cruise ship executive moaning and groaning about how bad the cruise business is. Said it was down 80%. I bet it will be worse than that before its over.

Viking Cruises were a sponsor of the Democratic debate.

It looks as though the cruise lines played the ‘short game’ by trusting the ‘authorities’ and continued sailings (particularly in Asia), rather than simply cancelling and getting on with deferred maintenance and/or upgrades.

They will now pay a HUGE PRICE for their decisions. I think Asia is gone for them, for at least a decade. And the rest of the world will be hit hard too. The Yokohama stories are horrific for their business and there are still boats sailing out there in Asia, and so there will be more stories coming...bank on it.
