Being saying this since May of last year, when a number of members of Congress(both in the house & senate) express their desire for these " 'foreign entities' to become taxable...because they register their ships out of the country, like illegal off shore companies; and yet, rake in the benefits, off the backs of US tax paying citizens & feel they need to fall under US regulations(employment, environmental, & operation) & pay their fair share of taxation." Of coarse, many here just ignored what these opportunistic politicians express, as if to keep out of the forum's eye for di

That exactly what's going to happen...it a setup. The CDC is being used, to extort the the cruise lines. They(CDC) will appear to bend to pressure or just being Fair & Just, by allowing cruise lines to sail...probably beginning anywhere between August & September, even as early as mid-July. Then when the "Variant" become more prevalent in the US, given how the media is already playing its role, in preparing the US citizens for the coming "4th Wave"...as soon as a single passenger is reported as having or infected with the "Variant"; the CDC will then be justified to reinstate the dread

Wow...That's disappointing; but, from his perspective, I understand why he would feel that way. So much for that idea.....

As long as Oasis has Cats, it will lag behind her sister ships, as far as, enthusiasm for their major big Broadway productions. Which leads me to say, given the cost to install a replacement show, in this case, on Oasis....Royal should consider getting licensing permission for writers to formulate another story/production number for Cats, for ship production only, that could be more suitable to passengers taste.

That's all you got out of that...not the crust or thesis, of the issue that citizens have, that was apparently legally voted on. Well, not sure how or why that "linked title" appears...it was not part of the original title of the article or the link, when I linked it here. Still, interesting and informative article imo....

Cruise industry lackeys in Legislature dismiss the people’s will | Miami Herald Interesting article by the Miami Herald, detailing the real concerns that Key West citizen have...that really have not been discussed, in many places. Very similar concern, to those in Hawaii, when the Hawaiian Express Ferry was trying to start up, with inter-island services. I recall the uproar of that...and see similar modes in plays here.

Navigator is a good ship to start market test runs for the West Coast. It the right size capacity & amenities for that market; and, hopefully it does well & become a more permanent fixture, for the West. Maybe, at some future time, a private resort become a consideration.

Double Speak....you "can" do this if vax; but, vaxers "Must" still continue to do as follows....

Think cruiselines will start announcing cancelations in 30day block about six weeks out at minimum, from what is speculated from cruisetubers.

I take it as a good sign that possible considerations for amping Allure is again, on the table, for its planned debut in Galveston, Nov 22'
