Royal Caribbean reduces workforce by 26% due to Coronavirus shutdown




From the Miami Herald:

"Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is reducing its U.S. workforce by 26%, with more than half of those workers in South Florida, the Miami Herald has learned."

Most will be permanent but some are 90 day furloughs.

The U.S. government has indicated that cruise lines will not be eligible for any bailout money as they are not registered as U.S. companies.  That doesn't help the 1000s of people in the U.S. who do rely on them for income, from dock and port workers, to travel agents.
