Virgin is still on track to launch its first cruise ship from Miami in 2020. Whether Richard Branson can convince people who don't normally cruise to try one of his ships is still an open question.

Not a bad idea, but let's wait until he actually delivers the ships before millennials start sending in their deposits. If Virgin Hotels is any indication, we may be waiting long past 2020 for the next hot demographic to sign up.

Virgin Cruises seeks to attract cruisers and newbies to its maiden offering in Miami. So does everyone else. We trust Sir Richard and his design team has something different on deck.

We are guessing that all the hoopla is not about Virgin settling with the multi-million dollar suit over stealing the business plans for its cruise line.

Virgin may not care about Veitch, but they likely will have to care about the enemies they'll make in the industry if suppliers, vendors, builders, and ports think that the nascent cruise line is untrustworthy.

Cruising isn't something that the newbie can get into without extensive help. It's unlikely Virgin could do anything here without Veitch. While his $300M+ payday wasn't guaranteed before, he may walk away with something similar if the court sees things his way.
