Those fucking ships are nothing more than petri dishes. I can't even believe ANYONE would take a cruise during an outbreak like this. I guess one can never guesstimate the true dumb-fuckery of humans. When you truly believe you've seen it all, there's always someone popping up saying "hold my beer".
We've had people try to convince us how much fun cruises are, but I refuse. Being holed up in a tin can with10,000 strangers out in a giant bathtub of creatures that could eat me is not my idea of fun. The only thing most people talk about is the food. OK, I can get good food on land AND not get screwed on drink prices. "Oh, but they have other things to do too. They have shows, and yoga classes, and..." Again, if I wanted to go to a show or do yoga, I can find all of that on land too. And the port stops? If I'm interested in seeing a country/city, I'll book my own stay and fly/drive in and not be bound by the ship's schedule.
Just MO. If you love cruises, that's great. They're just not for me.
