Creator's Key Takeaways

my personal perspective is that cruise line only excursions as cruising reopens is not too high a price to pay

it means the cruising can start up they can keep the bubbles in place and it means that we can not only go cruising enjoy the ship but get out import and explore

i think keeping those bubbles in those social bubbles is a great way of letting us get out there cruising and exploring

the downside for many people is a concern around cost

YouTube Video Description↓

As cruises have resumed in some regions, cruise passengers are only allowed to leave the ship in port on cruise line excursions. The lines reason is to protect passengers from being infected in port, and for people in ports also protected as they can ensure the right protocols and in place and retain the secure bubble created from pre-boarding screening and on-board measures. This has caused a lot of debate by cruise passengers who feel cruise line excursions are too limiting, they prefer to self-explore or use independent excursion providers and they worry it will significantly increase the cost of cruising. I discuss what the situation on cruise excursions are as cruises start up, why the concept is not as unusual as many think, how it works in practice and if I think it is a price too far.
