I have seen comments from DCL guests seeing more trainees than in the past with the new ship coming on line and venues closed due to staffing issues.
This week several cruise lines have announced they are canceling guests reservations, eliminating extra cost dining, or freezing bookings for months due to a lack of staff.
1) Cunard is capping capacity due to lack of staff.
2) Carnival is closing down extra cost dining options to move staff to main dining rooms due to lack of staff.
3) NCL America is freezing current bookings on the Pride of America until October. NCL America is different in that the Pride of America of the only U.S. Flagged cruise ship going and their staff are almost all U.S. Citizens
Apparently the issue with International staff revolve around delays in getting Visas, former workers leaving the industry, and workers living in nations and cultures where they aren't as comfortable as Westerners with covid being at a place that they feel safe returning to work.
