CRUISE NEWS - MISSED PORTS AND NO ENTERTAINMENT
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several current challenges facing the cruise industry, specifically regarding port access and onboard entertainment. She notes that while missing a port is not a deal breaker for her because she enjoys time on the ship, the loss of entertainment staff due to virus isolation is a significant concern. When entire dance crews or musical bands must isolate, cruise lines often replace large Broadway productions with smaller acts like comedians. The creator expresses disappointment when high quality stage shows are replaced by less substantial programming. She also mentions a specific instance where MSC was denied disembarkation at their private island in the Bahamas due to infection levels. Ultimately, the creator concludes that if she had an upcoming cruise in the immediate future, she might consider postponing it until the situation improves. She suggests waiting until February or March to avoid the risk of missing both shore excursions and the variety of entertainment that typically makes cruising enjoyable.
