Cruising is dead. Much like self-serve buffets, twenty years from now people are going to look back on this and marvel at the fact that people used to spend a week with thousands of other people in such close quarter petri dishes.

jaja Posted August 6, 2020 #102 Share Posted August 6, 2020 This news is truly worrisome...I agree..if even a ship of this size is affected...it will be a LONG time for cruising to resume in any capacity..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandlucy Posted August 7, 2020 #105 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) He did also say that they may do a very limited number of sailings in the last couple of months of 2020. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/cruises/2020/08/06/norwegian-fleet-return-in-earnest-second-quarter-2021/3293105001/?utm_source=AMP&utm_medium=UpNext Edited August 7, 2020 by macandlucy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that "other" link though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
