Cruise Lines Still Discriminating Against Single People (Coronavirus Related)

Considering the State Department has just advised people not to go on cruise ships, you think cruise ship operators would be desperate for any people and any money right now.

To give you some back story, I live in the Orlando area. I work full time for an IT company in Orlando but also work part time at Disney. As part of our benefits Disney Cruise Line offers discounts for employees when they are available. Typically there are very few cruises with employee discounts but right now the discounts are insane. I just looked a few days ago and Disney has 52 cruises listed on the employee intranet with employee rates.

Myself and other singles though have the problem of trying to find someone to go on a cruise with them, especially last minute. I contacted Disney Cruise Line today to see if they are allowing any exceptions to their single discrimination policy (where a single person still has to pay double rate even though they'll be eating half the amount of food and drinking half the amount of alcohol).but they are still requiring double occupancy.

Does it stun anyone else that Disney Cruise Line and other cruise lines are still wanting to discriminate against single travelers? That they would rather have an empty stateroom than a stateroom with 1 person (and this is the scenario that is going to happen)? Part of me hopes they get what's coming to them and that the coronavirus causes the cruise line industry to suffer the same fate as the Titanic. But again, why would cruise lines, desperate for people, not want to make an exception to this policy?
