Does Philipsburg depend on cruise ship passengers to survive?

CDC says people should avoid cruise travel... this can not be good news for Philipsburg.

Don't you find it interesting that you can fly on a plane and sit two inches away from someone for hours, you can go shopping in the grocery store with hundreds of people or go to the mall with thousands of people but yet a cruise ship, the cleanest, safest place in the world to be is not okay? You can't fix STUPID, that's for sure and STUPID is the CDC

Hopefully most people will just go back to living their lives and simply use good sense.

Agreed 100%

To each there own with comfort level. I for one would not want to be on a cruise ship anytime soon.

But you would be on a plane?

Neither is ideal. However, this is a case of apples and oranges. You're only on a plane for a few hours and you're masked. The air circulation is better on a plane. On a cruise ship you eat in crowded dining rooms many times for a week or more. There are many more cases of covid on a ship than a plane. Air travel is a must for the overall economy of a country. I had to cancel both plane travel and a cruise since this all started and I may have to cancel yet another cruise. I am not happy but the CDC is going by science and I believe in science.

You got it!

All right, this one is going nowhere good.
