Well my recent cruise ship posts have been pointing out the absolute power these health organizations worldwide including our CDC has over cruise ships.
Based on what I have seen in the last 4 months or so, many health organizations appear to be inept and incompetent in understanding and handling the coronavirus.
The cruise industry is at the mercy of these organizations, as are we citizens, and it appears these health organizations are going to bankrupt many businesses including the worldwide cruise industry.
With a few weeks our CDC will come up with new regulations for cruise ships , and this Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) tougher line on cruise ships might be in our future.-Tom
When I look at the incompetence of the UNWHO and our CDC ,I think we would know more factual info on the corona virus if we randomly picked a non health organization like Boeing Aircraft, and said we are going to give you the money to hire and interview any and all the medical people you feel are needed to figure out this virus. -Tom
I know the owner of a travel agency. She said that the requirements of a Covid test within 72 hours of doing anything is ridiculous. Also multiple tests can be required while on the cruise before going ashore. She is not recommending any cruises. Normally she goes on cruises four or five times a year. She has stopped entirely.
You could get exposed to Covid on any flight and end up trapped almost anywhere. Also, the cruises are making passengers wear a mask full time.
The cruise business is not going to be around very long.
we all need a cruise for the sake of our mental health...
