Just looking for opinions. Do you think that DCL will be up and sailing by April of 2021? Even if only one ship is running limited itineraries. Will there be any Disney cruises in April? What do you think?
So does this mean you’ve written off all Fall/Christmas itineraries?Just looking for opinions. Do you think that DCL will be up and sailing by April of 2021? Even if only one ship is running limited itineraries. Will there be any Disney cruises in April? What do you think?
Not necessarily. But my next cruise is scheduled for April. So kind of a self-interest thing.So does this mean you’ve written off all Fall/Christmas itineraries?
Agreed.I think of all the travel industry branches, the cruise industry is the highest risk for draconian downsizing. It had a tough reputation to begin with due to ongoing illness outbreaks much less Covid.
I hope this doesn't sound snarky, because I honestly don't mean it that way. But can you explain why you think reduced supply would result in lower DCL prices? My vast education in Economics (exactly one course: Intro to Microeconomics ) leads me to think that shrinking the supply pool would lead to higher costs across the industry.I’d actually like to see some of the fleets “downsize”. Too many ships and that allows Disney to have you put an arm down and a leg at 90 days...
Dcl inventory is already “artificially low”...I hope this doesn't sound snarky, because I honestly don't mean it that way.

I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a cruise line CEO, so I don't have any expertise at all. And I don't know if there is a magic bullet. So everything that follows is just a guessPeople think an available vaccine is the magic bullet....it's really not, especially with about 40% of the country saying they won't get the vaccine. Therapeutics are the better option and they are probably at least a year or two away.
Hurtigruten and Paul Gaugin both tried to re-start operations on a very limited basis and have both already shut back down.
