There was an earlier report on the CDC website from Wednesday that originally had the days at 120 not 100. I believe that the information was already public knowledge when the markets were open and the stock price would already reflect it. Let’s face it, this just makes official what most people were expecting. I can’t see anyone really thinking that they were going to resume cruising as normal in May. Heres the link to the withdrawn offer that was issued Wednesday https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2020/04/08 Heres the original 120 day order. information courtesy of firefox247 who posted this on the 100 day thread.

Oh okay -- that makes sense that it was already factored in. Thanks for the link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More revenue opportunities on the big girls I wouldn't go on one of the "big girls" if it were free! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you, but that is the direction Royal is going. Curious why you don't like them. Bad experience? Unfortunately base on historical trends, it's the boutique lines that will likely restructure or fold once this sorts out Edited April 12, 2020 by John&LaLa 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the cruise lines cash burn rate are, but whatever it is it is not sustainable. I guarantee beyond what has been in the press with regards to cash infusions (credit or otherwise)....there are a small group of top executives at each line that are searching for all options to survive. And yes I do believe they are or will be fighting for their survival. No refunds is a good is evidence for their survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYMAN Posted April 12, 2020 #62 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I look forward to the day when a waiter from Chops comes by, while I'm eating breakfast, and asks if I would like to dine there that night. Although I'll say probably not, I'll be on a cruise! Oh, and how good are those mimosas going to be in the casino as I enjoy my free (almost because of casino perk) cruise!! And yes, I see the effect this virus is doing to the infected.....14 hours a day I see it. So if it's okay for those that don't want to cruise or don't want the FCC, I'll hold on to that daily dream as I go about my business...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BensonFan711 Posted April 12, 2020 #69 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Doubtful. The entire industry got whacked pretty hard to the same degree. No company is really in a position to buy any other. Instead, they'll be focused on their own operations and not really looking into acquiring new problems. We're seeing this in other industries, too. Companies that are in prime positions to be acquired aren't because the ones who would be the "buyers" are in their own turmoil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Boston Whaler is more your taste? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted April 12, 2020 #73 Share Posted April 12, 2020 We would only sail on the Oasis class if we didn’t have to fly to get to them. The smallest ship we have sailed on was Celebrity Summit, which was nice for a change of pace. However, even though we are old, we still love the big girls❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
