Disney Cruise Line is joining dozens of competitors in extending the suspension of all voyages from U.S. ports through the end of the year. Cruise Lines International Association, a trade group of companies including Disney, Carnival and Royal Caribbean, has announced that ships won't be hitting the open waters until at least Dec. 31, marking the fourth extension in recent months. The extension will further devastate an industry that is still reeling from the collapse in global travel. In the U.S. alone, it has affected 420,000 people whose livelihoods are connected to cruises.
