Creator's Key Takeaways

staffing shortages meaning there is a short supply of crew members that are able to work on board cruise ships

they also decided that they were going to cancel some pre-existing reservations meaning if you had a cruise book for a norwegians pride of america then well they were going to cancel your reservation

the morale is going down for the crew which is naturally going to affect you as a guest because you can't have that world-class experience

i do believe that we are on a good path to going back to normal operations for cruising and people can continue to enjoy their vacation

Creator's Tips & Advice

Cruise lines are limiting occupancy during peak season due to staffing shortages, so check your reservation status.
If your sailing is cancelled, you may receive a 100% refund plus future cruise credit up to $100.
Be aware that crew morale is down due to closed privileges, which may affect your onboard experience.
