Regarding the United States, the Carnival Horizon has returned to Miami, marking a milestone for the Carnival Cruise Line. Bembridge also discusses the trend of cruise lines extending cancellations into 2021, noting that April appears to be a target month for many global resumptions. In the Caribbean, destinations like Cozumel and Nassau are investing in new infrastructure to accommodate larger vessels. Finally, the report addresses the financial health of major cruise groups, noting that while the industry faces massive revenue losses, companies like Norwegian and Carnival have raised significant capital to sustain operations through the summer of 2021.
