And we have another cruise issue - Page 6

I would guess almost half the people who go on a cruise are on some type of medication...probably blood pressure meds.

@Linmo : Thank you so much for those kind words. It is surprising to me the people who said:

"If the virus deniers and hoaxers all want to cruise together, that's fine by me. At least they'll be isolated and if they get ill, they will be more easy to treat and quarantine. If they weren't cruising, they could be running around thoughtlessly infecting healthy people."

Other people talk about the cruise ships as "floating petri dishes". They have no idea of how clean those ships are. They are constantly wiping down staircases, elevators, rooms, floors, bathrooms, you name it. Maybe they haven't taken the right kind of ship. Again, thanks for the well wishes. We shall see if there are mandatory restrictions imposed. We will obey the law.

Oh for crying out loud, what a selfish, elitist piece of work.

@blackhole99 What in the world does that mean?

I'm all about freedom, per my nic, obviously. People wanting their cruise and willing to gamble the odds ought to go and I hope all goes well for them and everyone on board. May the people serving them on the ship not be carriers of this virus and may all luck hold out for everyone. Personally, I do believe it will be a matter of pure luck after the hard work of cleaning the ship and everyone's efforts, nobody infected.

When all of this blows over, I suppose those who are thorwing caution to the wind will have another war with those who took every precaution, especially if it passes sooner than expected. I'd so much rather see that than more passengers held hostage to this virus on what they hoped to be wonderful vacations or rolled off on gurneys.

These ships will knock themselves out to keep everyone as safe as possible. This virus will do everything possible to survive. Play your hand and good luck.

@Free2be, I've been thinking the same thing, that there will be a gloating-fest. I also welcome that over those people or anyone else getting seriously ill.

@suzyQ3 I agree. Gloat away and cheerio! The sooner this ends, the better! Depending on the state or area a person lives in and source of information, age and general concern, their reaction will be markedly different from people who live in "hot" areas where the spread is virulent and deadly and they have underlying health issues or are older.

People are so funny, ready to feel self congratulatory after a horrorific time but it would be more than worth it.

@suzyQ3 : A gloating-fest? Really? No we will all be so happy that it contained and people are getting the medical help that they deserve.

I think it's interesting you completely skipped over the information presented from the CDC and State Department that contradicted what you claimed (that only people with health issues should avoid cruising). Hey, no one is going to force you not to travel, but please don't spread false information or downplay this, acting like the quarantine will just be another fun, extended vacation.

I can’t believe some of what’s written here. There is an increased chance of transmission of disease on cruise ships. Close proximity to others, quick turn around time between cruises and stopping at ports of call all play a role. Lest we forget about Norovirus.
