No doubt some would vote for Smithfield Packing company to run the corporation. That would be very shortsighted.

It's code.

It's reality. No drama required.

Before a major war, high oil prices, supply chain issues, locusts and other plagues.

Carnival has already proven that if they set cabin prices low enough, people cruise, regardless.

Are you a red or blue card? Well over a million Platinum cruisers and numerous Diamonds. No lack of priority people on Journey cruises. Carnival obviously is getting sufficient return customers.
