A cruise ship is a big floating petri dish.

I’ve never been on a cruise and I have no intention of ever going on one.

I have friends that love cruises but I’d never do one. Weather is always a factor and a sweeping illness seems fairly rare but when it happens it’s devastating. No thanks

Who in the right mind is going on a cruise now? Even without the Coronavirus every other freakin’ ship gets Norovirus.

Cruise ships are like spending a week rolling around in a dirty diaper ...

The cruise lines need to have a quarantine period for passengers and crew before they set sail.

I’ve never understood the attraction of cruises, particularly on giant ships crammed with thousands of other passengers.

There is NO WAY I’d get on board one of those floating prisons.

“Vomiting voyagers: Cruise ship returns to US from Caribbean after 300 passengers suffer gastroenteritis”

sounds like a norovirus outbreak, which happens on cruises more often than people realize ...
