There really wasn't an insult directed at Himself. But I also have to say that - unless someone has a direct line to the Almighty - we all have exactly the same connections. "That poster" agrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the most arrogant thing I have ever read on any message board. Anywhere. I don't give a toss what one's profession is. That said, we canceled our late fall 20th anniversary 14 day cruise in anticipation of this extending through 2020. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remark was said with tong in cheek. I presume Dave SJ was a left wing Jesuit. SJ are the initials of the Jesuits. By the way I took the line from the movie PATTON which I saw in 1970. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted June 20, 2020 #33 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It is unclear to me someone who happens to be a priest, minister, rabbi, etc deserves any more respect or consideration than anyone else who posts on this board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted June 20, 2020 #36 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Sorry, unlike others who may look upon the industry fondly through rose colored glasses, I am not about to pull out a nose hair and have a good cry about how the media has treated the cruise industry or any one cruise line. No different than any other for profit large corporation/conglomerate. To my way of thinking it would be like believing everything that our politicians want us to believe. Pablum. I am in the trust but verify group because all too often it fails the smell test. Edited June 20, 2020 by iancal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the two S ships and some of the R Class ships. I only sail the S and R ships. I hope they at least keep one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted June 22, 2020 Author #38 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) I posted a simple notice of something CRUISE RELATED, and this became a classic example of a pathetic, off topic CC thread in record time. In under 40 posts it veered off into the "fourth estate" and religion. Unbelievable. Edited June 22, 2020 by bouhunter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangforpres Posted June 22, 2020 #40 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Since the 1st wave keeps rising, and the 2nd wave is suppose to be worse this Fall, don't expect cruising to return to the Western Hemisphere in 2020.

It was NBC and CBS that started this stuff. The Disney Corp owns ABC, not the other way around. Disney Cruise Line is also owned by Disney Corp, not ABC.

iancal Posted June 22, 2020 #43 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Blaming woes on the press is a rookie move than inexperienced corporations, organizations, and politicians do. The pros and the survivors know better. Why....because eventually the public is generally smart enough to see through the haze. We have seen a great deal of it lately across all three.

KirkNC Posted June 22, 2020 #46 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The more I read and see the more convinced I become that cruising will start in the rest of the world before it starts in the US. CDC does not give a rats rearend if it ever starts. My prediction is that ultimately public pressure will force the CDC’s hand via political pressures.
