Reason for hope?

[spursfreak21]

@Matt posted the article below a little while ago- is this any reason for hope the June date is still in play? My thought process: wouldn’t they cancel all June sailings if they weren’t planning on sailing? By only canceling these two does it mean they’re still planning and shooting for June 12? I may be overthinking it!!

I'm sure you will hear a lot of negative but it gives me hope for our family vacation in June.  I think it means they are at least trying to get us cruising again.

I think Carnival's statement that they aren't starting until after the "no sail" order expires around the end of July tells us all we need to know.  Royal is just canceling in waves to keep their cash flow a bit better.  They are making trips to Asia to drop off crew.  They wouldn't do that if they just have to pick them back up two weeks later.

I was told that no crew member can be onboard for more than 1 year - hence the reason they are sailing lots of folks home.  Feel bad for the crew - sounds pretty miserable on board since everyone is quarantined.
