As you know, Pumpkins, the travel landscape is littered with the remains of failed airlines. How do I count the graves? Roots, Jetsgo, Tango, Canada 3000, Royal, Zoom, Canadian, Wardair, Vacationair, half of Canjet and all of Skyservice. Ah, good times.
Now let’s consider cruise lines. Comparatively speaking, the business has sailed along smoothly since its berth on a Miami half shell in 1972. Consumers bought the “Big Ship” hook, line & sinker. Have the recent ‘Misadventures of Costa’ sunk cruising’s cred? Is it time for Costa to walk the proverbial plank to save the rest of us?
The difference with air carriers is they run out of cash – they don’t stop flying because they keep dropping out of the sky. And, when they do (quickly, say three Aves to St Kishka) – people keep flying because they have to.
Will consumers forgive Costa?
Calls from CLIA say not to worry, that cruising is buoyant. I hope Pierre Poutine isn’t making those calls.
And speaking of segways to insanity in the news, I’m thinking that if Angelina Jolie's right leg can have it's own twitter page, Angie’sRighLeg, and Jen's LeftNipple gets to tweet, like, shut up! I just have to let my body parts express themselves, dahrlings. With so many high quality appendages, it’s hard. I was told by my doctor during my last internal that my uterus is quite spectacular. Based on this professional assessment, I have launched an #Ivanna’sUterus meme.
