Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3500566, member: 591"] I normally work part time for a travel agency, quoting requested cruises on a discount cruise web-site. My sister-in-law, while part time (semi-retired) is one of the bookers and the point person in the department. This is not a small agency, specializing in business travel and tech. I was laid off a week and a half ago. My SIL is down from 20 to 8 hours a week, all spent canceling, she is the only one on the payroll that has anything to do with cruises right now. Oddly enough, requests for quotes on the discount cruise web-site are apparently up, but the agency has opted to pass for now. Are folks serious or bargain hunting? My round-about point - how will this industry recover? Folks are not traveling, will they resume traveling when this is over? How about cruising? Is not what Michael reports above scary? While I sure hope they do, I like my little job, the whole thing is more than a little concerning, even after we get through the worst. [/QUOTE]
