Norwegian Cruise Line Corona Virus Scam

MIAMI (March 13, 2020) — According to recent reports by numerous media outlets, Norwegian Cruise Lines sales managers encouraged sales staff members to downplay the risks posed by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak in an effort to mislead and induce customers into booking cruise reservations.

The false and/or misleading statements included numerous unsubstantiated claims; among them, that the Coronavirus “can only survive in cold temperatures, so the Caribbean is a fantastic choice for your next cruise” and that “scientists and medical professionals have confirmed that the warm weather of the spring will be the end of the Coronavirus.” Employees were also told not to mention the Coronavirus unless customers brought it up first, and were also told to tell customers that “the Coronavirus is not as bad as the media says.”

The Miami New Times first reported the story: http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/coronavirus-norwegian-cruise-line-leaked-emails-show-booking-strategy-11590056

Norwegian’s improper sales tactics caused customers to make reservations that they would not have otherwise made, endangered the health and wellbeing of customers and crew members, and caused financial losses to Norwegian’s shareholders and investors when these details became known.
