I agree with you!
If the ship isn’t flagged to America, there should be no bailouts!!!
Sounds like you had great cruising experience,
but wondered about your ‘petri dish’ comment.
Ive been on over 60 cruises and always found everything extremely clean.
Too many people in too close proximity, IMHO
“Ive been on over 60 cruises and always found everything extremely clean.”
We haven’t been on that many — maybe 12. We’ve also have been happy with the cleanliness. Of course, we take our own precautions including hand sanitizers (railings, elevator buttons, door handles, etc.) and have been healthy. (But we do that, cruising or not.) Once there was norovirus on our ship, but we were OK.
We never EVER use a hot tub or a pool on a ship.
We’re looking at a December cruise. I just hope they don’t go all overboard with the stupid new WuFlu rules so that it ruins cruising forever. If they do, we’ll stop.
