In reply to the discussion: What pandemic? Carnival Cruise bookings soar 600% for August trips [View all]cbdo2007
(9,213 posts)26. Right compared to 3 days before the announcement...when all cruises were cancelled.
Very misleading headline and article, though I did read somewhere else that their bookings are actually up 200% over where they were last year. But still when you consider nobody has made a new reservation for 2 months, having one or two days that are double what they were last year still isn't good news.

I expect another surge with opening up and I hope it shuts the cruise lines down through the summer.
