Kudos to Carnival! Reviving an old naval tradition: “scuttling” a ship, sinking it on purpose so it doesn’t fall into enemy hands!

It's OK though -- they're insured.

Was a Buffet served, before this dutiful act ?

Savage

danbrusca ¿PhotoShop?

Seriously? You reposted this? Check your priorities. People are dying.

So the ocean kills the virus? Sure OK.

Makes sense. Insurance payout will probably be more than the 40 year old bucket is worth and as the Carnival motto goes, “To hell with our customers.”

Someone will take this as actual news. 🤦‍♂️

Now the whales have it.

The first casualty of war is 5000 civilians.

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

'Great. Now we have to boil the ocean.' -Somebody Smarter Than Me.

Would actually work better than “quarantine until everyone has it then let them go home” model.

..but the band continued playing

What about the fish though?

Cruise ship should be parked uninhabited for 6 months, refurbished and renamed. No one will sign up for a cruise on a ship named Diamond Princess...it’s synonymous with death.

So, you can sink your own ship at will? That's.....odd.

Corona with no Lyme? I would of done the same thing!

Scuttle of the Sea

This is so incencitive to the girl that killed little leo

That's probably a good call

Chinese captain?

I support this. Same for the airplanes.

Better to scuttle the boat then let viruses get our technology.

'Omg this actually isn't even funny.' incoming

This really would be the most cost effective solution. We should see it Televised. Live. With an air force bombing and torpedoes too

Too funny

Good

first sensible thing i’ve seen since free drinks

How many people were on it?

liammcurley See you there

Tough call

Well, guess the problem was solved before the weather warmed up in April now, wasn't it?

Hahaha! This is great! 😂😁🤣

nurglite heresy detected on imperial property LETHAL FORCE ENGAGED

But first they threw everyone overboard.

Torpedoes scuttle coronavirus-ridden ship

The term is scuttled

Where's Bill Burr please someone check wheres Bill Burr this looks like something he will do

TheRealPro7 Sounds like a billburr solution

Cruise passenger walks into crowded lounge “Do you have Corona?” Bartender “yes, we have three cases behind the bar” Stampede ensues.

Fake news

This is basically the plot of Leviathan from 1989.

billburr looks like the plan is taking shape.....car pool lane already opening up....excellent...excellent...

bClickClack shitship

Scuttle the word is scuttle.

Send it into Bermuda first...

You know the Love Boat didn't have worries about the coronavirus. They did, however, run the ship aground when one passenger itched noticably and another smelled of fish.

DrewCurtis Bill Burr's Cruise ship plan seems to be working.

Welp...👇🏽

Its like the Graf Spee, just manned by geriatrics

Pacific Rim 3 is going to be awesome

Ah shit now the sharks are going to get coronavirus and kill us all.

This afternoon at Carnival Cruises HQ: “Roy, have you seen this?” “Hah, yeah. Those guys...” “Yeah, funny. But... what do you think?” “Seriously?” “Yeah. Just talking, of course.” “Hmmm, lemme make a call to legal.”

We had to sink the Princess to save the Princess.

I hope they used the word ‘scuttle’

Finally a company with some common sense!😁😁

Too soon!

Pml

Nooo, somebody save the Mambo Deck happy hour buffet!

RIP coronavirus

let hope Coronavirus bug doesn't live in water and start killing the fish.

Jealous much, icebergs?

Poor fish.

Great. Now we’ll actually need to boil the ocean.

To the soundtrack of the Titanic

This is what happens when every whale at the buffet table suddenly moves to The forecastle

you don’t see bravery like this much anymore.

Best way to deal with the issue. Sacrifices have to be made to protect the majority.

I'll never let go

Very honorable

🥺🥺🥺❤

uh... wow

What a true hero 😢
