Pictured Rocks Cruises Set to Open

[Loopy]

Real money maker in my town during tourist season. People come by the thousands to take the cruise and see the beautiful sights not only of the Pictured Rocks but many other sights to see. 
 

Already seen Spanish people and Arab type speaking people around the area. So much for lock downs.

MUNISING, Mich. (WLUC) - Pictured Rocks Cruises, which brings in thousands of people every year to Munising, is getting a late start on the season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

As of now, cruises are set to begin June 15.

 

"It [pandemic] has delayed our opening date. We usually start in early or the middle of May,” said Pictured Rocks Cruises Manager, John Madigan.

Madigan says the pandemic has also caused a drop in reservations.

 

"There's just been a reduction in reservations from customers compared to prior years, a substantial reduction,” said Madigan.

Madigan adds that when it is time to open, protocols will be put into place to protect passengers and crew members.

 

"Our schedule will be adjusted to the passenger demand,which we don't really know at this point in time but we suspect the demand will be less than last year. Then we have to do some reduction on the capacity of the boats, which we're anticipating from the governor's order. Then, we're going to have to have some protocol to sanitize the boats between trips; sanitizing the seats and surfaces."

We’re in coastal NC, and our tourists love 💕 our beaches! This past weekend was insane with the traffic to go over a 2 lane bridge to get to them. Took approximately 30 min to go 2 miles! Unfortunately, we have to go down this road in order to get to work/grocery store/doctor. It takes some planning. And...the beaches are opened, but not the restrooms...makes ya wonder! 🤭
