I have a cruise booked for next year so I hope everything is back to normalish by then.  The cruise industry has come to a complete standstill like all travel, but unlike other holidays a ship can bring thousands of people into a city in one day, its difficult  to know when countries are confident to allow cruise ships to dock again.

At least we have had good weather here, and i dont get seasick in the garden  ;D

Cruise liners need to be smaller with less visitors to hot spots.  Liners are causing so many problems in Venice for example with the back wash particularly.  Apparently the Canals have seen fish for the 1st time in Centuries so it may be that restrictions will be suggested.  Not to stop tourism but to improve the areas visited for those locals as well as less crowds and queues.   Sistine Chapel reopened this week :-).  If it means booking 2 years ahead to get tickets ......... with restricted numbers per day.  A better experience for everyone.  When I went to see "The Last Supper" it wasn't busy but as a School Trip maybe we had special access.  Can't remember that far back  ::)

The thing about Venice is an Italian cruise line uses it as a departure port, so they have ships based there, like Southampton or Barcelona, if the Government was serious about cutting ship numbers they should start with them in my opinion.  Ive been lucky enough to visit Venice a few times, never by cruise, once in a coach holiday  :o its a unique city and I loved it and want go back one day.

We've booked one for May TH just in case the Xmas one doesn't go ahead. I agree about these ridiculously huge cruise ships,it's getting silly and some of the clientele?? Well,think booze fest at Blackpool,gonna stick with Cunard from now on. I have to disagree though about everyone getting stuck into cruises,planes are just as harmful and there are thousands more of them,some of these cruise destinations rely on tourists,especially Norway and the likes
