I do. Cruise lines took a huge reputation hit with the Diamond Princess. Their core market includes a large chunk of people over 65. They can’t afford another 2 weeks of news stories about a covid boat.Ummm… Carnival can sell more cruise tickets when everyone can buy them, vaccinated or not. Are you sure you understand their business model and customers?
Sometimes we speak to fast and only from our own perspective. Think about your statement and if you still believe it after considering consumer behavior, demographics, basic economics and plain logic…. I’d love to hear your reason.
The benefit from an appearance of safety is more important than the small number of tickets they might sell to the anti-vax community.
This is why Norwegian is already threatening to skip Florida ports if they can’t verify vaccine status. It’s a long sail from Georgia to Freeport, but that’s better than risking your brand.
