From a VacationsToGo.com mailing this morning:
"This week I'd like to start by sharing some positive news about the cruise industry. The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the world's largest cruise industry trade association, reports that by the end of this month, nearly 50% of global cruise capacity will be in operation. That percentage will rise to 56% by the end of September and to 82% by the end of December 2021.
In terms of passengers, hundreds of thousands of Americans have cruised since the industry restarted this summer, primarily in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Alaska and the Mediterranean."
As with much that 'hits the fan,' I imagine cruise ships won't be evenly distributed, so what this portends for how busy Cozumel is and grows as a port may not be in direct relation. But bottom line, the cruise industry isn't fully back, but it's coming back fast...unless things change. And with the Delta variant, things keep changing.
