It's logical but the only thing that stops me is that I know nothing about the industry...it's never appealed to me to be stuck on some giant, floating resort and I just know nothing.

I bet Air China flights are cheap too. Trouble is I wanted a return flight but they are only selling one way.

I think it was Princess Cruises that was reimbursing the guests for their cruise, and giving them a voucher for a new cruise after they are off quarantine. Imagine the losses for that, plus all the costs to house, feed and care everyone under quarantine...

My wife's boss has a Hawaii cruise booked for the first week in March. She can't believe he is still getting on that boat.

You’ll never catch me on one of those floating hell holes. But if I had the money I’d short their stock. I know it will tank soon.

I'd rather have a root canal than to go on a cruise.

Isn't all the bad news already priced in? May take some time to recover, but wouldn't this be the time to buy?

Celebrity X cruises are using Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" as background music...

Good market advice JoeBob.

CCL (Carnival) was $41.84 on 2/10 when you wrote this.

Its $36.04 today 2/25.

Having never bought puts, I don't know if this is enough spread to pay?
