Was anyone aware that there are crusie ships that are just floating around quarantined, the guy who was interviewed said he has been on there for 50 days.  I have never heard anyone in any conference talk about this.  

The view did an interview with one of the passengers.  I had no idea.  He said his ship is all healthy and yet they cannot get off.  What the heck!!!

Yes, he said he was on the ship as an entertainer, passengers were let off, but employees were not. He said they are treated well, and not like they are prisoners.  Said they just float around in the ocean all the time.

Yes, there is reporting that 100,000 people are stranded with limited medical equipment, and at least 50 with Covid-19.

Seems like I read that some ship in Australia can't figure how to return passengers who are to medically whatever to stand a plane ride and they can't get visas to disembark.  Wonder who is on the hook for their room and board?

Yes, there was something on one of the news shows yesterday.  I can't imagine what those people are going through.

Isn't it awful!  I cannot imagine.  Now that it is being reported maybe something will be done.  I am just shocked this is happening.  The guy I saw says everyone is healthy on his ship yet they have no idea when or where they will get off the ship.  I am just not understanding.

That would really be the strangest experience. Healthy, but floating around at sea with no ports letting you disembark. Hopefully they let everyone move into the bigger balcony staterooms at least.

I've lost all desire to ever take a cruise:/

Sadly, I dont think the cruise biz will ever be the same again. They will end up being hit one of the hardest.
