14 March, 2020: CORONAVIRUS ROILS FINANCIAL WATERS FOR IDLED CRUISE INDUSTRY. CAN IT SURVIVE? Flourishing cruise lines were gearing up for their busy spring season when it all came crashing down due to pandemic. The once-flourishing global cruise industry appears, for now, to be an early casualty of the novel coronavirus. Dead in the water, as they say. All major cruise lines now have suspended operations for 30 to 60 days. Two Princess ships sit empty on San Pedro’s deserted waterfront — next to the also- closed USS Iowa museum ship — with no passengers and no place to go. Affected in the canceled voyages are Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and MSC. Earlier shutdowns were announced, on March 11 and 12, respectively, for Viking and Princess cruise ships. The dramatic turnaround in the normally busy and flourishing industry comes in the wake of a devastating public relations moment — the grim specter of

14 March, 2020: AIDA CANCELS ALL CRUISES UNTIL APRIL 3RD – CREW ARE WELCOME STAY ON BOARD The German Cruise line AIDA Cruises has made a very difficult decision announcing temporarily pause of its global cruise operations until early April 2020. The decision was taken as a response to the global spread of COVID-19 virus, recently calling for extraordinary measures and for the resolute contribution of all stakeholders to stop the outbreak. In a letter sent to the crew members, Aida announced that the shipboard employees will be given options to stay on the ships during this period, or return home,

therefore the crew are given freedom to decide what is best for them and their families. Regardless of their decision, there will be no terminations of crew contracts. That means nobody has to leave the ship. The crew who plan to disembark and return home, even if their contracts are longer, they can do so as soon as the company arranges for flight tickets. In both cases, AIDA will cover the flight costs. For the crew at home waiting to sign-on the dates are postponed for now.

14 March, 2020: THE CRUISE INDUSTRY PRESSURED CARIBBEAN ISLANDS TO ALLOW TOURISTS ONTO THEIR SHORES DESPITE CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS SAM DUNCOMBE, head of the Bahamian environmental organization reEarth, looked on with concern Thursday as island authorities debated whether to allow passengers to disembark from Fred Olsen Cruise Lines’ Braemar, the latest ship hit by the novel coronavirus. The Dominican Republic turned away the Braemar at the end of February due to health officials’ concerns about flu-like symptoms reported on board. But in a move typical of an industry that tends to play island nations against one another, the cruise company called the decision an “overreaction” and found a friendly port in St. Maarten. Passengers disembarked and new ones filed on board. Read more…. https://theintercept.com/2020/03/14/coronavirus-cruise-ships-caribbean/
