Times have changed, it used to be that the runs or a mechanical breakdown was the worst people had to deal with, and that was very rare (as in 1 in 1000, if that).

But now, with Coronavirus, it could easily mean the end of the cruise ship business, at least as we know it (if not completely). The IDIOTS running the business were thinking that a few cancellations/reroutings of ships, but otherwise business as usual.

They have NO CLUE as to what’s in store for them. They SHOULD have been proactive, but now it’s far too late for them. If I was in Europe building the new, huge, ships, I’d be updating my resume’.

Do they happen to have any coconuts with them? On Gilligans Island they found all sorts of creative things to do with coconuts.

Wait until the passengers (or their next of kin) sue the cruise line. That will sink (pardon the pun) their business quickly, particularly if there is any proof that they ignored safety or health warnings.

As for the newlyweds, stay in bed, crack open a window, order in for room service, wash the food thoroughly if necessary (i.e. fruits and veggies, etc.) and say NO to any sushi. Use the restroom sparingly but wash up after each use. Pray.
