We have a friend who is a big honcho in the travel industry. He recently was on a conference call and the results of several survey's were revealed. 37% of passengers said they will not fly until a vaccine. 68% polled said they would NEVER go on a cruise ship. The industry will have to re-invent itself to survive. He believes the future of cruising is in smaller ships and the days of the mega ships are over.
