Do these ships have approval from the ports? (Yes, I know no one on this board knows this answer...rhetorical) How many of these will end up as cruises to nowhere?

I've thought about purchasing, because I do think CCL will continue to exist as a company. However, if they declare bankruptcy and reorganize, that stock is worth zero.

Thank goodness we planned way ahead... (we did
