While the future of cruising has looked uncertain after the global pandemic, some maintain that COVID-19 won't sink the cruise industry.

Too early? 🧐

Are you insane If you wish to go cruising fine , sign away your rights then if something like this happens again! You get to stick with your ship then and ride it out!!!!!

I wouldn’t go on a cruise now, I value my life too much

I want to go on another cruise as soon as this is over 😀

Save Yarra Bay

Get a look at these bogans, all they think about is their next cruise, what a selfish couple. Probably not a thought about the many that have lost their lives!

Darwinism

Spazs!

Not on your life

Just cannot train stupid!

If not for the certainty theyd be bleating to be rescued and brought home if it went belly up we’d say go for it Survival of the fittest refers to intelligence as well Also you cant offload thousands in the morning and load thousands in arvo then pretend youve cleaned the thing

I am sure this was paid by cruise companies. They will need much more than this ti convince Aussies back to cruises....

What a stupid comment! Cruises are incubators for the virus & any sickness actually coronavirus

Hop aboard the death ships 🚢 🦠☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️. Cheap rates 😂🤣

WTF!!!

Really!!! 🤔

What is up with touring your own backyard. We have everything in our country from sand and surf to snow and desert.

Yeah ok, let them board with a one way ticket and send it out to sea!

Ferals

What none of you know or care most of the workers are from third world countries so the get paid zip relies on tips from the passages it's a disgrace so don't talk Australian Unions when it come to ships pay ..America and England abuse the people for profit shameful ships

poluting monsters they are cruiseships

Oh the stupidity

Floating RSL clubs full of drunk bogans and pensioners.

Hence the reason why a bottle of bleach states DO NOT DRINK!!!

Wow 🙄🤫 just let them go!!

Bring back Gilligans island

Pair of idiots.

Did carnivalcruise pay you to publish that story channel9? Or was it the sub-editor of a masthead you own, whose Dad is Comms Manager at carnivalcruise? RubyPrincess debacle under backdoor PM peterdutton. notforgotten

What is wrong with these people?

Entitled fucks

Virus 19 is just one issue everyone gets colds, flue and Nori Virus, the shipping companies need to fix these. Hugh risk to older travelers or those younger with health issues. YOU ARE ALONG TIME DEAD, .....

People as nuts. getpissedathome

The moron factor

Cant fix stupid

stock up on torpedos

When cruise ships pull their finger out and rectify their cleaning standards and hygiene practices it will remain a breeding ground for illness.

No thank u.. don’t won’t to be stuck out in the middle of the ocean

Shit for brains

Pick and choose which boats to stop eh

look at them, they're ready to die for the economy

Yeah nah idk.... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Selfishness at its finest 🤨

Totally ignore all rich twats, they are the ones who dropped us in this poo pile in the first place.

They look like the midlife crisis Aussie bogans who would hang out in Bali pubs with young ones

Used to be a boring holiday for boring people. Thankfully the cruise industry, now we know what floating Petri dishes cruise ships are, is finished.

If cruise ships return to Australian ports, they need to be slapped with massively increased port taxes to contribute to the cost of the damage they have caused. Bogans won’t be able to afford to cruise anymore.

Can’t put brains in statues lol

Suicidal, stupid or selfish?

Cruises would bad enough before the pandemic

Can’t fix stupid. Maybe they can sail out from Port Kembla? Plenty of beautiful places to visit around Australia. Holiday in an area that was affected by bushfires help those communities.

Wow the selfishness of some people. .people dying, countries in lock down, people lost their jobs, but waa waa we want to go on a holiday

No way, we are locked in our homes for two reasons. 1. whats happening in Italy and 2. because of cruise ships. If I never see a cruise ship in Sydney again, it will be too soon.

Then when the cruise ships are in limbo and no country wants them to dock like what happened for Greg Mortimer, will you take your own risks and don’t ask government to rescue you?

Nope 👎

Yes for sure

Not sure why this is a news story. Their entitled to their opinion but I doubt they are going on one anytime soon. I'd say that there will be no cruising till the cleaning between cruises gets an overhaul.

No wonder cruise ships have been such a disaster during this pandemic. Selfish idiots like this.

Can’t they just go on the Ruby Princess ? They are so keen to sail and really don’t think it’s an issue . plenty of room on there and they can be upgraded to a suite

Australia need to visit Australia..eat food. And shop Australia produces

Very surprising. I guess after the debacle we’ve just had though that the industry will radically overhaul their procedures if they want it to continue, so I don’t think that’s a bad thing

No flights to seedy Bali. No cruises to play pokies and drink bundy rum on. What ever will bogans do.

I see he dressed in the appropriate attire when making that request.

Bogans.

What’s the old adage - more arse than class?

Morons🤦. Pity you can't quarantine stupid. Yeah bring them back tomorrow ...one ship was only responsible for 800 cases and about 20 deaths and still counting. Don't want these floating Petrie dishes on our shores until we have a vaccine. You couldn't pay me to take a cruise.

Sink the bloody things, caused death here, how could anyone want that risk back. If they do bring em back, make it clear that if infections break out, no port entry allowed..

Can't educate Bogans....

Lunacy 😒
