In view of FCO guidelines issued last week about advice on no cruise travel, how much longer do you think this will last, bearing in mind soon we will be going into the winter months, when a second spike is likely of the Coronavirus cases. Bearing in mind on a cruise you are not only coming into contact with many hundreds of households and even if you are tested before you get on, you are also getting off at each port and potentially picking up something there.
I know it is looking on the pessimistic side, but how can cruise ships hope to resume travel any time soon, at least till next summer?
We have also had several cruise companies go under and how much longer can the rest hang on before they go under as well? Not many companies can survive a year without trading, but having to pay costs. All the cruise ships are in dock, but they will need to be paying for the dock space, the captain and a limited crew to keep the ship's machinery running and limited hospitality to feed the limited crew.
When do you think the cruise industry will be allowed to restart?
