“Sounds like all ports of call were canceled”

That’s only half the truth. Why ? Reporters don’t know how to write anymore.

Was it the number of cases on board ? GIVE US THE FACTS ?

The public is owed the same info given the CDC and the islands involved.

What, exactly, are the “issues related to COVID 19”?

NCL needs to elaborate

I’m not afraid of COVID (just recovered), but not going to be stuck in a 100 sq ft state room for 10 days!

I think I would tell them "You want me to stay in my room for 10 days? OK, a free bottle of good scotch per day and a good view out a window. Otherwise, somebody's getting hurt."

Bring tackle and make it a deep sea fishing trip.

We took our first cruise around 1996 and Royal Caribbean just stopped offering skeet shooting off the stern. Damn.

“Dear passengers. The cruise has been cancelled. Please find your own way home. Regards, The Captain.”

“Does the Captain send the crew and staff back to land on lifeboats...”

I read that book...”Men Against the Sea” by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. One of the three “Bounty Trilogy” books.

Who at this point in time and space is dumb enough to book a cruise? I don’t want to meet these people.

That’s not new - which is why you pack plenty of extra gas, radiator stop leak, spare tires etc. You never know when you might get caught in a buffalo crossing in the Yukon.

I would not hesitate to book a cruise if they cancelled their useless vax mandates. At this point everyone I know has been or is “positive” or exposed, as we all are, everywhere we go.

‘Someone’ is going to be ‘hardest hit.’

Are you talking about Entropy 'Cruise Boy'?

Just a couple of questions:

a.) How long till they start eating each other?

b.) When they say, 'women and children first', does that mean they eat them first? I always thought the fatties should get eaten first. They last longer, lighten the boat, and are much more succulent.

"There is no cannibalism in the Norwegian Cruise Lines, absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount."

My wife and I did a fall honeymoon cruise up the St. Lawrence River around to NYC back in 1991. Couple years ago I researched the ship we were on and on its last cruise, the plumbing stopped working so they brought porta potties on the deck for the customers to use and shortly after that, declared bankruptcy in some South/Central American country leaving the passengers to find their own way home.

A good friend of mine took a cruise to Alaska and it was wonderful.

A few years later she was killed in a traffic accident far away from home. I miss her terribly. She was so great a personality, despite being a Lib. I loved her. I wish she had stuck to cruising.

I think this is a lot like one of those books/movies where the ending is uncertain.

Since the relative danger of the illness and efficacy of the tests only exist in the mind of each reader, the reader gets to make up the numbers.

Some Germans had nice personalities too. Anyone who abides the stolen election:

is little different from those who watched the cattle cars take my great-grandmother out of Berlin.
