Thread: Winners and Losers in Cruising

One has to wonder about NCL. They lost a lot of money in Hawaii. Apollo pumped in a lot of cash but how long will it last if they do not get the ship turned around?

Unfortunately, NCLa was trying to use their financial problems concerning their ships as an excuse to get a change in the PVSA law to their advantage. Fortunately (at least for those of us who like the itineraries that would have been in danger of being affected by the proposed changes), cooler heads in Washington prevailed.

Many people were pointing to Colin Vetch and poor business practices as the real reason behind NCLa's problems.

What do you think many of these smaller cruiselines have to do to survive?

I agree that NCL has some very pressing problems.
