At least two cruise ships have been quarantined after coronavirus cases were suspected or confirmed onboard since February

informed travelers they would be offered up to $200 in onboard credit in an effort to persuade vacationers to proceed with their planned trips.

“We continue to implement increased monitoring, screening and sanitation protocols to protect the health of our guests, crew and the residents of the destinations we serve,” wrote Colleen Oliverio, vice president of guest services at Carnival. “A representative for Carnival that would deny boarding to any passenger who has traveled to — or been within 6 feet of someone who has traveled to — areas with major ongoing outbreaks of the illness known as COVID-19, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Iran, South Korea, and the Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy and Veneto within the past 15 days, according to their website.

There’s no way I’d be taking a cruise anytime soon.

So, does this mean, no movies, mall, grocery shopping, etc. 🤔

Not enough of money to have me exposed like that

So they can buy two beers and a gas mask! 😂

Thank god people don’t flip out like this every flu season

Wow 200 lol

WTF!!?!! They should be cancelling Cruise's 😳😲

The gym is not prep enough for the Corovnavirus should be more careful being it's a gym.

This old expensive fitness gym I just joined so cheap they only put one bottle hand sanitizer out at the front desk look like it came from the 99ct store 😄and I think they got one bottle by the weights. They need to bring the price down instead up untill a cure is found-

😂😂😂😂😂😂

We have a trip but with Princess in October idk if to cancel or wait it out

200? U think that's gonna do it? Nope! Wouldn't go if it was free!

$200. To risk being stuck in a 10x10 room for 3 weeks I’ll pass

You couldn’t pay me enough to get on a cruise ship right now.

Is that all? 🙄

$200 or you could “ maybe” die Hmm...

What is $200 if you got ill🙄

That wouldn't even cover the cost of getting tested 😒

They can PAY ME to go, but that's the only way I'd go 😂

Wow!! $200.00, what a gesture!! I’d be interested to know how many people are jumping on that?

Should be $500...cover the liquor costs on board.

Yea how about no? You can up that to a million and I would still say no

You couldn't pay me $20,000 to get on a CarnivalCruise

$200.00 not enough to get the Cornonavirus. Call me greedy. But...

Here’s $200 to agree to get sick, be quarantined on a ship that won’t be allowed to make port and then lose a months salary of more by being in hospital or quarantined at home. No thanks.

Not very much money to get yourself stuck in a tiny room for 14 days when someone gets the virus on the ship is it?

Why would anybody want to risk their lives? 🤔🥺

$200? How about $200k!!

Savage

I'm never ever getting on a cruise ship

$200 or Possibly DIE. Which do you choose?
