However you have the best choice in the freestyle machine. 

Let's be fair, that was last Year (2019) https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/22719-fain-foregoes-salary-other-royal-caribbean-execs-agree-to-pay-cut.html

And my guess is you don't like this individual.?

If I only goes to April 14 I would be very happy

Playing devil's advocate: I presume that it would depend on the real target. If it was intended to create media fueled hysteria and tank the global economy, then it was 100% effective ?

Then why did you?????

This article just showed up as a link from a Brit YouTuber I’m subscribed to. Article published today. Italy wants the world to see what this virus is really like.

Key quote:
I’m not one to pray, but sending prayers to the people of Italy that they come out the other side of this soon. This is starting to look like 1918 in a scary way. Hopefully other countries see this, spread the word, and people who have thought all the instructions to stay home was just hype (I’m looking at all those college kids who decided to go to Miami Beach for spring break) will finally get it. 

The same hypothesis could be said for cruisers in their 50's or 60's.  For any seasoned cruiser at any age.
The true spenders tend to be new-to-cruise.  Anyone Diamond or above doesn't spend much on board relative to new to cruise.  Diamond happy hour drinks take away a lot of on board revenue.  

I still think it's unfair how the cruise industry is called out on this while it happens every day in life. 
Someone with the virus rode a train last week.  Hundred exposed to that person in close quarters.  Someone with the virus went to the grocery store.  Hundred exposed to that person in close quarters.  Someone went to church two weeks ago with the virus.  Hundred exposed to that person in close quarters.  Those hundreds that have been exposed are now in the community spreading it.  Yet when the same thing happens on a ship it makes the front page.
In Colorado there are 277 cases with 2 deaths.  No cruise ships here.  We have lots of people flying in to go skiing, bringing the virus with them, in an airplane in close quarters with hundreds of others.

Allure is going to Southampton as I speak.

Yes, Zero is shorter.?

I'll be happy if they don't go belly up

Great, Porto Rico is denying Freedom and she has to sail to Miami to discharge her passengers.

Per the Office of the Governor:
"The only exceptions to this order are the Carnival Pride and the RCL Grandeur of the Seas, which are due to return to port in the coming days, provided that no person on board such vessel has a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 or is under investigation for COVID-19."

Sorry but I'm going to disagree with everyone as I've done both, parked at the terminal and used Park n Go https://www.bookparkngo.com/ftlauderdale.php I prefer 
Park N Go. A lot cheaper and almost as fast as Parking at the port..

@Lovestotravel What port was it? I hate the NYT, so I won't click on the link.?

LOL!  "
"The MSC Meraviglia from MSC Cruises arrived in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, from Miami on Tuesday morning. After the ship’s command reported one case of influenza onboard, Jamaican authorities, concerned that the man might have the coronavirus, said no one could disembark. The ship left Ocho Rios for its next port of call, Georgetown, Cayman Islands, after waiting to be cleared for nearly four hours.
The ship was expected to dock in Georgetown on Wednesday morning, but the Caymanian Ministry of Health and Public Health Department said on Tuesday night that it could not do so".

@Cat mom Book what you and wait for the next sale.

JS, Balcony, or OV are the only cabins I would consider. I wonder how the folks on the Diamond Princess feel about Insides?
