In fact, quite the opposite. In the post COVID world 5,000 passenger behemoths are likely to be money losers. There's no practical way to "social distance" on a cruise ship without cutting passenger size. And even with a vaccine (no vaccine is 100% effective) the risk on an outbreak will be a real threat for years to come. I suspect RCCL is experiencing buyer's remorse at the thought of launching a new ship that probably won't offer a good ROI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those new ship behemoths can break even running at 30% capacity where older ships need 50% or more. That’s straight from the execs at Royal on the latest earnings conference call. Guess which ships are getting mothballed first....it ain’t the new behemoths. Edited June 12, 2020 by Ourusualbeach 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen...the statistics prove exactly the opposite of that other original post. The larger ships are not only money-makers...but almost cash cows. The cruises themselves have marginal profits...the ancillary services...drinks, spas, etc. are the profitable part of the business...so the larger the ship with more of those things...the larger the profit opportunity.

Much more things to do for them- which means more free time for the partents. Isn´t it wonderful to have so many options? I hope at least a few options remain after the Pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6/8/2020 at 10:34 PM, Tee & Chilli said: No one knows of any capacity limits. People are speculating. Even if there will be capacity limits, I doubt once crusing will begin you will find full ships as lot's of people still are not feeling confident or want to wait and see when things have resumed how things will be going.

Agree. We sure will feel better about cruising once a fully tested successful COVID-19 vaccine is available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
