Garrison Keillor’s Cruise Was Cancelled in March. Loyal Fans Still Waiting for Refunds.

But for now, he said, he is glad they canceled the cruise. In his email to concerned cruisers on April 20, amid paragraphs lamenting the pandemic and asserting his company’s intention to refund them, he included a limerick:

“I’m glad we’re not on the Veendam

Trying to maintain aplomb

In Corona hell

Sprayed with Purell,

Reading the 23rd Psalm.”
