They get 14 days to cool their heels in Tokyo Harbor now. We also get to find out just how contagious this bug is.
...and by the way, this boat never even went to China (I think it was scheduled to go there, but diverted to Hong Kong, you know, to be ‘safe’).
Why would anyone get on a cruise ship right now? It must have been a great menu and deep discounted ticket price.....
> Ladies and Gentlemen, we’d like to invite everyone to stay locked in their rooms while health authorities investigate this. In the mean time, feel free to enjoy our television service as you continue our wonderful cruise...
On channel 1, we have the love boat. And on channel 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 through 54, we also have the love boat!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
as long as I have a balcony, quarantine me.. make that a balcony and wifi..and room service.
Sailed on the Sapphire, haven’t been on the Diamond.. always see lots of asian folks .. never know what kind of stuff you’re possibly going to be subjected to. Been lucky so far.
We have no cruises currently booked .. I could handle visiting some Greek Isles again before it freezes over in that neck of the woods.
I bet I could get a great deal on tickets, maybe even a free upgrade to the Presidential Suite and every meal at the Captain’s Table with open bar! And I could use any of the facilities without waiting in line!
The first six channels are Princess excursions you can't take, the next five channels are the international news feeds that we're blocking, the ship channel that replays the "newlywed game" shows is on, but is repeating the last cruise's shows, but the Spanish language channels are available.

allegedly shanghai and other mainland chinese ports are now beginning to be dropped from the lists of what are considered viable transit ports...
