Carnival Still Isn’t Sure if It Will Continue Its Cruise Halt
Potentially bucking the trend other cruise lines are setting, Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) still hasn't decided whether it's on board with keeping its ships in port after the 30-day cruise suspension, which began on March 13, expires. A post this morning on the company's Facebook page said that the decision is still up in the air, but promised a final answer by this Friday, March 27.

The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) initiated the month-long cruise stoppage from U.S. ports in response to the coronavirus situation. The industry has been at the center of controversy and quarantines since several major outbreaks occurred on cruises under way at the time COVID-19 became a pandemic. Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL), Costa Cruises, and Celebrity Cruises announced earlier today they will extend their cruise suspensions for an additional month, at least until May 11.
