No question about that. I hope things will get better for all.

Irishwitchy, I’m sorry to read of your hard family situations. These are such difficult times indeed. I’m very touched by your post and wish you all better times ahead.

I’ll go with that!

Seems that the people who decry not bringing politics into this are ....oh sorry.

my question remains.

Credit card concerns should be separated from this thread, in hopes of preventing so many issues on so many threads.

How can politics be separated from death of people and death of the US economy?

CBWIR. I listen only to you!

You others, previously mentioned, are great too.

Nicely said.

CBWIR, Pcardad and Greykitty.  Your postings were absolutely the best. Experience, knowledge, and a clear eye brought lucidity and hope amongst all the random postings.

Thanks to you 🎉

Posters here seem to be regretting not taking the refund. Is it now more the worry of bankruptcy or not being so interested in cruising?

A few think ultimately the extra billions will be raised. I’ll go with that because .. well, that would be best for everybody! And what else can we really do?

Grey kitty, so you are agreeing that it was necessary for NCLH to acknowledge this? It would seem pretty obvious anyway. You are very knowledgeable and I appreciate this discussion amongst those who are. ( this is not my field but I am trying to educate myself as I do have a big paid up refund coming.)

Somebody pretty knowledgeable wrote me that securities laws and regulations that impose criminal sanctions on executives for incorrectly certifying financial statements and MD &A make this “going concern” disclosure completely expected. It would be almost illegal for them not to make that statement.

This seems to agree with CBWIR and a few others opinions. I’ll go with that!

Yes! You’re back! Hopefully you will come back often as I read the Coolers every single day and have always enjoyed your musings. You, Misty and others had such good repartee and her daily funnies, one a day, a perfect dose, are always appreciated!

Wendy, since you’re from Canadaland, perhaps you have been following Pluto. Your attitude tells me you have!  Heads  high, hearts open....

Rallydave, so you’re thinking they won’t go the private equity route and stay with an 11% bond?

Sorry for my simple questions about this. I have a very basic knowledge of the financial workings. Very basic.

Okay, good. Thanks.

SteveQ, Thanks for your thoughts.

If a private equity firm gets involved, if it buys Regent, do Regent’s financial obligations for refunding cruises, go away or get reduced? In other words, what might happen to the unpaid refunds?

Pam, I feel for you. Last summer we took one son, his wife and two nine years olds to Alaska. Great fun but moderately difficult to coordinate. Then for this summer we tried to add other son and his four person family and we tried and tried but were defeated by everyone’s different schedules.

I love to read books where in olden days the family would get on a steamer  for a three month European  tour. Ha ha!

Dolebludger, from the customer viewpoint (which is mine) it seems it could work out pretty well! 

Steve, so the choice may be between PE control vs. going out of business, right?

I read it. Where is the problem?

Aren’t you just making a case for outside investment? Why is that bad?

Sounds like a good idea to me. 

We too cancelled an October cruise back in early March and received immediate refund. Out thinking was the same as yours. We also removed ourselves from two waitlists for 2021 and were quickly reimbursed. I have no regrets about not risking any 2021 cruises  either!
