ONECRUISER

Problem is if tested by Fed agency and actully comes back positive. Watch people getting arrested on live Cop and Border police shows all the time when people say doesnt have THC in it but does... just saying be careful 

I doubt these companies have the ability to spend money on upgrading their ships and private islands when they aren't operating.  They are just trying to survive at the moment.

The $1B per month claim for Carnival to keep operating is interesting.  
While Carnival has a larger fleet now you begin to see the magic of operating mega ships and how CCL and RCL differ financially.
Last year CCL corporate had $20.8B gross sales with $2.99B of net income.  That makes expenses roughly $17.8B or $1.4B per month.  Granted that is extremely simplified.  
Last year gross sales for Royal were $10.9B of which $1.88B became net income.  That makes expenses roughly $9B or $750M per month.  Granted that is extremely simplified.  
Royal's gross sales were 52% of Carnival's yet Royal's net income was 63% of Carnival's.  How can that be?  In part it's because of mega ships, but in simple terms Royal is more efficient and generates more revenue per guest with a much smaller fleet.  Carnival PLC has just over 106 ships versus RCCL with half that.    
The cost to idle a mega ship will be close to the cost to idle a smaller ship.  Minimal fuel to putter around, cost of minimum bridge crews and marine department will be marginally higher for a mega ship compared to a small ship.  While the hotel department crew counts are much higher on mega ships much of those crew are going or have gone home.  
Normal monthly expenses include fuel consumed at normal cruise speed and supplies to feed roughly a hundred thousand guests among other things.  With ships slowly idling around and with the dramatically lower cost for oil right now their fuel costs are significantly lower.  Fuel is one of the larger operating expense during normal times when ships are running at cruise speeds.  Now?  Not so much, comparatively speaking.
While revenue is dramatically lower right now so are operating expenses.  With crew contracts ending and crew going home what's left are the marine department crews and bridge officers.  Consequently employee costs are down and there are fewer crew mouths to feed by the tens of thousands across the fleet.
It's very interesting that CCL is claiming their floor to operate right now is $1B per month.  That suggests they have shed $400M in monthly expenses. 
RCCL has lower expenses because they fewer ships to float right now, roughly half as many ships across all brands.  On the surface using CCL numbers Royal would shed $200M per month in expenses for a fleet half the size.   Fain and other executives are also cutting their salaries through September.
The magic question is what Royal's minimal cost to keep the fleet floating around and cover land based employees that are retained during this period?
Until this year's SEC filings occur that's anyone's guess but let's call it $500M per month as a SWAG.  With the secured credit to date that should last at least through the end of the year.

And if I go to a trade show or convention and it gets cancelled, am I supposed to go get a refund from the Anaheim convention center, no. Of course not. It’s a charter so why would royal handle that change. It seems like a simple one that a group (nurses who are doing all the right things) got this one wrong. 

Worked in multiple Restaurants in 1980's as Manager. We never served coffee at 145 or under. At Burger King we served it at 165, another place worked at it was 157.  As Served At 160°F plus the flavor and aftertaste of the coffee can be judged; at 140°F, the cupper can determine acidity and body, and then move on to balance. Anything over 205 degrees will burn the grounds and leave you with a nasty aftertaste. This is the same reason you want to drink your drip brewed coffee as soon as it's finished brewing - leaving it on the heating element for too long can also burn the coffee. For a French press, you want your water to be somewhere around 195 degrees... A hot bath means different things to different people one man’s “toasty” is someone else’s “scalding.” And so it is with coffee some may like it hot, but there is a wide range of preferences on just how hot “hot” is.

I just text once a day. If you have a cell phone and dont want use internet, Royal service charges 50 cents to send each text, receiving a reply from home only 5 cents each

Wasnt that long ago when I started Cruising Royal ships didnt even have Balcony cabins....
