Until COVID-19 hit, the global cruise industry was on course for a record-breaking year. But major coronavirus outbreaks on board ships cost lives, jobs, and damaged the reputation of the fastest-growing sector of the travel industry.

The Rise And Fall Of The Cruise Industry

I hate cruises
I like how all the anti- cruise ship commies put it down but have never experienced a trip themselves, Prolly welfare sponges that couldn't even afford a Cab ride!
I sincerely hope that the days of cruise ships are over.. bring back ocean liners with new hydrogen/electric engines! So that people can travel eco friendly in style
I will never take a cruise again. Floating Petrie dishes like others have said. Got sick along with others on a few cruises way before COVID.
I hope the prices drop again I wanna take a boat to Australia
tons of people got sick on cruises before COVID. Ya’ll ever see them change the spoons at buffets?
The idea of being stranded on a ship appeals to no one.
"…a disaster of titanic proportions". I see what you did there.
It’s in poor taste to compare this pandemic to the titanic. The titanic was a tragedy. The deaths on that ship were unexpected and the crash was not planned, obviously. People are getting on a cruise ship DURING a pandemic. Make that make sense.
I'm cruising soon. Prices have never been better and frankly cruising is the best way to see the world.
How is it that my Panamanian ass who served a lot of Carnival guests on a Panamanian hotel, didn't knew Carnival is a PANAMANIAN COMPANY?!
Who wants to travel on a ship with so many people on board? I go on vacation to get away from people.
"This was a disaster of titanic proportions" I see what you did there 🤣
Cruises are as stupid as the stupid that go on board. This buisness is shit, as shit as the passengers that are happy to be slave masters for a week.
Cruise ships are the weirdest invention ever…what big, scary, beasts! Ugh! I get shivers looking at them!
What a crock of horseshit! Best of luck, but this is just awful!
Almost every other commercial on tv is a cruise line commercial. Before the pandemic there were hardly any. Yeah they're definitely hanging on for life.
0.33. Oh! I live in that city! 😀
Isn't calling this a 'disaster of Titanic proportions' a bit distasteful? I really hope there was no pun intended there.
Oh yes
There's a pandemic going around
Lets go on cruise ships
Then sue them for something we already knew to do
You need to differentiate between a virus and global stupidity, of an unimaginable breadth and depth. Can stupidity be cured? That is the billion dollar question.
The real victims are the crew members who works these cruises for mere chum change to support their family.
Hi
i hope it stays dead. the environment can't handle it
2:10 1970s when NCL RCCL Carnival etc. came out
Welcome to the biggest visible insurance scam (loss of earnings of ship owners) !
The new Covid Religion.
Look into how much pollution one ship produces
They COULD do private sales. Private cruises sound like something rich people would pay a lot for
Brainwashing at its finest. 😩
best thing that ever append to the world . cruise ship are the main reason of pollution of the sea in the wold . happy we can save a couple years before idiots start again to use them.
