[quote=EconProf]If you were considering taking a cruise, now would be a good time.
They will probably go on sale because of the bad publicity and Americans’ tendency to overreact to bad news that is dramatic.
What are the odds of it happening to you? Since the last such event–also on Carnival–thousands of ships have had their uneventful, presumably happy cruises. Probably all cruise lines have tightened up on their safety standards, fearing the expensive bad publicity of such an event, making them even safer now.
So ignor the dramatic headlines, weigh the real probablilities, and take your reduced-price cruise![/quote]
Agree c econProf, now is the time to get a good deal. This is when the crew from captain down to the mechanics down to the kitchen staff are all at renewed heighten alert and at the best time for deals.
It’s just like the RE bubble, best time to buy was after the bubble burst.
