wondering how this is going to work for ~ a 2 month season ?  Is there enough local labor to accommodate the limited cruise traffic ? 

can't imagine much lower 48 labor force will re-locate for a 2 month season.

Pure speculation on your part on how things will be set up. Your agent can only tell you that rooms are limited, not what policy makes them limited. 

 

The expectation is that everything is well thought out and will work just fine. And not all doom and gloom. Cruise lines want this to work. And will ensure that passengers enjoy their cruise. 

Not speculating at all.  The rule is no self serve buffet and 6 ft between restaurant patrons. The 6ft rule easily reduces capacities by half.

As long as everybody is wearing a mask, everything will be OK.

i was referring to the cruise ship being able to service people under those constraints , not the safety involved.  Mandatory vaccines will help a lot but now Florida has banned business operations from requiring vaccines and the NCL cruises are out of Miami. 

Couldn't help but notice that Miami cruises in September were nearly sold out.  What does "sold out" actually mean in this context?  An NCL agent was not able to clarify.  Let's assume they actually sold all the cabins.  There is no buffet , limited seating at all restaurants , limited seating in outdoor pool areas etc. etc.  The last cruise i was on had a busy buffet , crowded restaurants (waiting in long lines for a table) and crowded pools.  Does anyone have any idea how they expect that to work ?
