Earlier this month, aerial footage shot by drones showed workers
stripping walls, windows, floors and railings from several vessels docked
in Aliaga, a town 45 kilometres north of Izmir on Turkey's west coast.
A lot of that goes on in Chittagong, Bangladesh, as well, with little
concern for worker safety.

Cruises are ALL OVER ... maybe for a decade or so.
They are just VIRAL DEATH.
"Cruises" are DEATH. Everybody knows it.
It is the END of that "industry" for a long time to come.
Norovirus was the sign, COVID was the hammer.
A pity to junk all the ships though .... gotta be some other
uses for them. The ultrarich could BUY them as private
yachts ............

Even in your scenario it makes sense to preserve (small?) holdouts for faster/easier restart after a few years.
That "restart" will probably be in the form of charter cruises for the nouveau riche, interracial couples, queers, vegans, eco-kooks, and animal-rights wackos...

In which case, let's hope they run into a cat 5 hurricane.

Better still, just scuttle them around the English fishing conservation >areas. That would stop foreign fishing vessels from trawling and destroying >our seas; and would create protected breeding areas for what is left of our >fish stocks.

Not the worst idea actually ....
But the things are loaded with oils and plastics and toxic
paint and ...........
Floating amusement areas, shops ... might be popular in
some places. A few people ARE rich enough to use at
least the shorter ships as yachts. Some extra hospital
ships might be wise, C-19 will not be the last epidemic
after all. Maybe Musk can take off the top and launch and
recover rockets ?
In any case, it is a horrible waste to just scrap the things.
Although think of the thousands of tons of turds which are now going to sewage farms rather than just being dumped into the oceans every night.

Some of these ships are not built for maintenance. It might cost more/the same/close to the cost to strip and reline compared to the cost of a new ship. Hint. some ships are built from the ground up with the engine(s)
going in just after the bottom of the hull is laid, and they are thus not maintainable, so they have to be considered as very worn.

The cruise lines will start with their oldest ships, sending them
off to the breakers as the passenger lists -- and profits -- shrink.

At a billion bucks a pop nowadays, they better figure some way of
recouping their costs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-E8rFt5Cvo
They're no good if they become floating "pest houses": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLzEkge8wW0

Only a mere billion? I’m surprised Bill Gates doesn’t have one
