That’s bad news obviously.

The good news...cruise ship fares are great! You’d have to be at Death’s Door to pass these bargain basement prices up...

lol my thoughts exactly !

WTH!

I am not a person to over react usually... BUT you couldn’t PAY ME to get on a cruise to anywhere at this point, and possibly never again in this lifetime, after witnessing what they can do to you if you get on one!

Several months ago I fancied the idea of taking a cruise. After the last three months I think I’ll just ride my motorcycle across several states.

This thing left on March 7. That was WEEKS after all this stuff blew up, including the quarantine of the Diamond Princess in Japan. Anyone who got on a cruise ship at that point was a fool.

I’ve thought about taking a cruise vacation, too. But, now cruise ships just sound like floating petri dishes.

At this point I have 0 sympathy for anyone voluntarily getting on a floating Petri dish. What the hell is wrong with people?

Went on an Alaska cruise in Oct 2018. After disembarking I spent a week in hospital under quarantine. Then I realized that a ship with no ventilation except on the promenade deck and carrying 3,000+ passengers is a 900 foot long Petri dish for incubating communicable diseases. Never again.

Even then the hazards included norovirus, sanitation system breakdown, engine failure, and fires. For this you pay money!!?

The chance of dying on a cruise ship has always been very low. Until now.

They’ve kinda always been like that Every year some ship has a cursed cruise where either some bug runs its course through the passengers or some sort mayhem breaks out.
