Carnival CEO — who lives in St. Louis — talks about the future of cruising

“It’s a cruise to nowhere,” Donald said, speaking of the AIDA cruise, which will head out to sea with no ports of call. Both AIDA and Costa have announced enhanced protocols in working with their respective governments and health authorities. Think of it as a test run. There will be masks, distancing, more on-board entertainment during the days to allow for distancing. No buffets, and guided entrances and exits so passengers aren’t in one another’s way.
