A lot of people already saw cruise ships as a germ factory, with all the norovirus cases theyve had. Then you had the outbreaks at the start of this, most notably with the Diamond Princess.

How do you see the industry rebounding once this pandemic is over? Do you think more people will be hesitant to go on cruises?

Maybe if they run discounted rates now all the anti maskers will all get to vacation together in a closed off environment

Very low price points

Let's be real, the people the cruise industry targets usually aren't the most savvy. People will go for the discounted rates.

I kind of hope it doesn't come back so I can stop coming up with excuses for not going on one

A solo cruise? Interesting. I do solo trips but never considered that. Was it weird?

I went on a cruise to Alaska. It was pretty cool, but a week was way too long. If I ever do it again it'll be one of those 2 or 3 day ones in the Caribbean.

The cruise industry is just a way for people to tour without having to do any planning. That alone is probably enough for people to come back, let alone those weirdos that are basically addicted to them.

And this is what cruising is all about.

Personally I would love to go on another cruise but I'm content with waiting until it's actually safe to do so (as in there's a vaccine for Covid.)

Easily.

The "I'll show you" crowd, which is like 95% of people will book like 7 weeks of cruises back to back to back as a kind of victory lap.

It wont rebound for a good while. Wallstreet is delusional with their stock prices. If you bought at the crash of march and you saw a high increase then I would sell. Theres no real growth with a company surviving on loans, not making revenue and with no actual date of starting up again.

Yeah they dropped rates *a ton*. With Royal Caribbean you can get 4 / 5 day cruises for around $200 a ticket which is absurd.

flights are cheap if you're willing to go with airlines that charge you for breathing air and have more than 0 fatal accidents per year >_>

Honestly I feel like the tourism industry has gotten way out of control and the major tourism hotspots are worse off for it, so idc if cruise companies die off entirely
