Carnival has cancelled boat rides through October

No one tells you when they lose, so I’ll start.

Should have sold my cruise stocks 3 weeks ago. Oops.

Carnival always sounds to me like a festering cauldron of disease.

I bought carnival stock a week ago, taking a bath on that one....

I’m curious if they’re even eligible for any sort of US relief. Aren’t the ships based out of the Caribbean?

Not really. But they are subject to jurisdiction when it comes to departing from US ports.

So basically the US can tell them they can't operate from US ports, but because they are organized outside the US, they aren't eligible for US help.

In a few years we are planning to fly down there with a few other couples and book a staffed boat and island hop.

Thats the only way to do it. You only live once.

I think he means they aren’t flagged as US ships

Good riddance, these companies have hid their money offshores to avoid taxes from the US while simultaneously asking the gov for bailouts. They were already floating breeding ground for all sorts of viruses before the Shanghai Shivers was a thing and cause environmental disturbances where ever they go. Im glad the chickens have come home to roost for them.
