MSC Cruises, a privately owned company based in Geneva, will resume operations with two departures from Italy this month, it said over the weekend.
Italy approved the restart of its cruise industry from August 15 as part of efforts to revive a moribund economy devastated by a more than two-month quarantine, with cruise operations suspended in March. Global health authorities criticised its slow response to the spread of the virus, from lax monitoring of crew, to continued operation of self-service buffets and gyms, to lack of personal protective equipment.
"The current scientific evidence suggests that cruise ships pose a greater risk of COVID-19 transmission than other settings," the CDC said.
Watch out for the Van der linde gang
no grazie
Never going to set foot on one ever again.
When it comes to cruise ships, I can’t see any scenario where the risk is worth the reward.
Just park the damn boats and turn them into hospitals.
Back ashore in a couple weeks to fill up the ICU beds again ... Disgusting .
Lol I’ll get a piece of that wager .
Suicide cruise.
Floating petri dishes.
These idiots need to learned to look at world news before deciding stuff. There are a number of other cruse ships that were still out there & guess what, they have infected aboard. Same goes for the people booking the cruses. Just because its a good price, doesn't mean its good.
Doesn't seem like the greatest idea
Good luck with that
'cruise ships', or as they're more recently known, 'floating resort morgues'
It won’t be a high stakes gamble, Italy’s government are globalist-commies and so the news won’t give them a bad narrative like they do to anyone who is not corruptible.
All the old dodgy men who can’t stand their wives one second longer. Hop aboard matey!
Why are people still going on cruises? Do they have death wishes?
Enjoy that HVAC COVID-19 spread sailors! Ahoy!
Bad idea 😬😬😷🏴🇨🇦
If you think Covid-19 is a hoax, have I got a vacation for you. 😂🤣
I'm guessing the passenger lists will be short LOL.
you mean a gamble for passengers and crew not for the owners who are too smart to ever go themselves or send their families..
What could possibly go wrong - omg
Not a chance in Hell I would board that floating coffin.
Can I short life insurance policies?
There is zero chance I’d be getting on a cruise ship right now
Covid19-here I come.
I wonder what will happen...
Cruises are festering petrie dishes!!! 🤢
First Cruise ship that went out of port less than a month ago has Covid. Can we say 'Floating Disease Centers'?
Well at least they can keep the passengers on board until all passengers provide a negative covid test.
Mistake
New COVID rates: Cabin fees - $100 Insurance - $50000
Floating viral incubators are now okay but I have to dress like a haz-mat responder to shop at Safeway.
Why are people in such a hurry to test the fates......after herandous civic distuction and death.....cruise ships are a walking disaster......I realize this is business and it’s bad ecomomicly but$$$ is not worth lives....just saying...proceed with much caution please....🙏🙏🇨🇦❤️
Another “shake my head in disbelief” moment. I’m having a lot of those.
Well this is just stupid.
Will the have some people with covid19 onboard when they leave to ensure a successful voyage.
?!
Stupid, smh.
What for? To bring the population a second and worse outbreak?
This sounds like a great idea...
