(8,379 posts)I think it's just a matter of time before they're all infected, I would be beside myself.

(14,961 posts)I wonder if their internet is restricted? I know it's too slow for them to watch videos on YouTube. I almost hope it is, the last thing they need is to be reading all the horror stories, not knowing what true and what isn't. What's happening to them is a disaster of epic proportions. And now the incubation period has changed to 24 days.

The people in the inner cabins dont even have windows. I cant even imagine. 😳

(14,998 posts)Which you would have chosen anyway if you don't like enclosed spaces. So they can go outside on their private balconies - if they are permitted to do that. At the very lease, they can open the door and get some fresh air.
We took a cruise two years ago and even though we had one of the smallest cabins, it had a veranda.
I wonder what they are doing about food etc. How is the crew handling this? This would be awful!
Lefta Dissenter
(6,617 posts)No windows. Im guessing the price difference is significant so as usual, the wealthier people have greater chance of survival.
Edited to add that people are allowed on the deck for a half hour or so every day - on rotation. The people with balconies arent as likely to go to the deck so again, they have better odds.
The US should be evacuating the Americans to proper quarantine facilities.

Thanks for the information.
Lefta Dissenter
(6,617 posts)and Im guessing a lot of people will never consider a cruise in the future. I know I wont.

I cannot imagine being on that boat.

(14,961 posts)I see one, I wonder what kind of precautions they are taking when it comes to food prep. This infection is sneaky, people are only testing positive the first time in 30-50 percent of cases.

(639 posts)This is where containment fails.
Flaleftist
(3,473 posts)Crew members are in tight quarters, so it seems like a given that they will all get it. Crew members make and bring them their food. If people are sick and can infect others before they know it, that seems like a good way to infect everyone. Maybe if they completely sanitize the kitchen and bring in new people just to operate it and deliver the food.
