Cut these folks some slack. They left 77 days ago for a south of everything cruise. Virtually touched Antarctica.

What bad luck. First you get sick. And second everyone is going to make Vandamme jokes about you.

Humiliating.

Though a great movie ( SHIP OF FOOLS ), this ship is probably more like the St. Louis, that FDR turned away.

Question should be asked, how did the virus get on board the ship.
I suggest that at some port about a month ago, Brazil’ish, they swapped/boarded new entertainment. That staff change brought the virus to all onboard circa end of February.

I cannot believe people are still going on cruises. It’s mind boggling how stupid people are sometimes.
