The people who boarded for those cruises must have known the virus was serious at the time.

I was on the Emerald Princess 2/29 to 3/15 - Los Angeles through the Panama Canal to Fort Lauderdale. We were turned away from Cartagena, Columbia. No cases on board, but I was glad to return to Florida because it was all breaking loose at home during the cruise.

I tried to get out of the cruise, but no luck with that. There were six ships in port 3/15 that had returned from cruises and were not going back out. I am surprised they kept the Coral Princess out so long.

This was a cruise that started around March5, and the State Dept. didn't issue a don't get on cruise ships alert until after that.
Also the cruise was around South America and the Caribbean and a long way from China. -Tom
