What will be the impact on cruising of a world-wide spread? Cruise ships already avoiding HK and China, perhaps Venice, and who knows how many more port cities as more cases evolve. Do cruiselines stop operating because there are not enough passengers populating their ships? What itineraries are left? Are world cruises devoid of most port stops?

I was browsing the cabin inventory for my December Antarctica cruise, and there seems to be a lot of vacancies. Will the ship still operate if only 10/20/30/40% of cabins filled? How price elastic is coronavirus fear?
