Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. has announced drastic cuts to its workforce due to the pandemic.
"Earlier today, we told our employees the difficult news that we were laying off or furloughing approximately 26 percent of our more than 5,000 coworkers in the US," the company said in a statement.
"We earlier announced the early conclusion of many crew contracts.
The circumstances of the pandemic made this action unavoidable, and it hurts to part ways with so many good and talented people."
