TOKYO—The $500 million cruise liner that became an incubator for the novel coronavirus will resume service again soon with its next group of holidaymakers, according to its operator, though only after a thorough cleaning.
At its dock near Tokyo, the Diamond Princess still houses some passengers and crew under quarantine for the virus, two weeks after their voyage was scheduled to have ended. A barrage of publicity about the ship and its more than 600 coronavirus patients made it one of the most famous, or infamous, cruise...
Watch....They’ll release it and people will get sick again
Think they need to rename it too... Germy McGermy boat a suggestion
And look for reduced pricing to start the cruse business start rolling again.
Ha... pls go somewhere else...DiamondPrincess you don’t help the passengers enough.
looool no one will get on with a brain
How would they know they were paying for that specific ship?
Should honestly just suspend cruises until further notice. World health is sorta more important.
🤣🤣🤣 Suiciders?
The hotel that had the outbreak of legionnaires disease back in the day wound up changing its name. Perhaps they should change the name of the ship, and rechristen it with a bottle of bleach instead of champagne ; )
Like they know how to clean it. Probably everything is covered in coronavirus.
Did they change the name yet? That's all I need to know. It's a catastrophe waiting to happen. Everyone is cursed with their families too! there...
No thanks
No thanks.
I bet people are dying to travel with them. 🙄
Where do I sign up? Notttttt 🛳
Nobody: : Germ boat almost ready for service!
The cruise will be a virus incubator in the ocean.
This appears to be the cruise ship industry’s Bear Stearns “liquidity is fine” moment.
And im not changing the name or profile photo. I like them the way they are. I dont believe in posting photos on the internet of myself or anyone i care about. So dont expect any new pix.
I don’t think anyone who is of sound mind will book or board the diamond princess ever again. The name is toxic & for princess cruises to consider it is madness . further by May coronavirus Covid_19 will be a global pandemic. No escaping this with it being in Italy & iran
Pretty sure it will be tracing the voyage of the Titanic!
Hahahaha whoever jumps on that ship is fookn stupid
Better change the name too
I got a honeymoon to plan... we get a rebate for the cruise?
They will pay passengers to board it
Burn it down and collect the insurance? 🤷🏼♂️😂
Don’t forget to bring these with you......you unlucky passengers you.... 😘
Fucking hilarious....who in their right mind would board that Petri dish?
Good luck getting any passengers
えええええ
Just burn the ship. Nobody will ever board
Princess = Petri dish
They better offer some heavy discounts and free drinks.
We welcome your criticism, but if you do not respect our culture and civilization and try to hurt us, then your criticism can only make us resentful, you are just satisfying yourself and your associates, while telling the world your narrowness and ignorance
Fuck that
Don’t worry. They’ll still keep norovirus just like old times.
I’d go for free. I hear gin and tonics kill it.
Sunbathe on the main deck in your Hazmat suit.
Business as usual
Good luck
Has it got iceberg insurance? Asking for a friend.
Turn it into a reef
Pass
How do you dip that whole thing in clorox?
No I don’t think I would want to be on it
Wink wink
Let’s see. We don’t have a vaccine for the virus, but we will wipe the ship down with Mr. Clean and that will kill it! Sign me up for the next cruise!
Wuestion is whether the tourists will return.
Ohh no
😰🦠☠️
Wouldn't go near it 😷
With all this talk about viruses, no one is really trying to book a cruise nowadays
Take a cruise and be buried at sea all in the same trip.
Nope.
How long can the virus stay active even on surfaces?
Hard pass..
The truth is, i dont know what i would do without Hashem. He is phenomenol. I cant understand all of his ways because he is so incredible and he has saved me from utter hell so many times that i know it had to be him that saved me. Baruch Hashem i love you more than everything.
NaijaFlyingDr CoronaVirus cruise ship
DO we really need such floating tenement blocks in any event?
Only way they gonna “sanitize” that death boat.
I’m pretty sure you can just sink it.
floating germs... just what people want!
I am very much perfectly fine here with Hashem because Hashem wants me here so I will do what Hashem wants me to do. Hashem is always in the details. Bless Hashem always for the good and the bad because the bad can be made into the good and a major accomplishment! Baruch Hashem!
Wouldn’t want to be the next round of passengers...nope.
Ain’t nobody going on that ship ... like ever
Nothin a few Lysol wipes couldn’t fix. All aboard the Wuhan express!
They’ll also have to change its name!
Now I wish to see sales!
I’ll pass
They will have to do more than scrub it. They will need to rename it but even that may not help.
Hard pass
Who would want to be on that ship?
sorta creepy
To where?
Will 🇬🇧Princess Cruise keep on their Business? 🇬🇧Princess Cruise &🇺🇸Carnival Cruise that allowed 470 Chinese with HongKong Passports, to board, had been opening Casino,Buffet, holding Parties untill arriving Yokohama and caused Super Spread ,killed 2 Japanese.
Is this The Onion’s burner account?
Not for me or any other at this time for some time.
Um, that’s a hard no for me
I can’t figure out how any medical expert thought it was a good idea to keep thousands of people in quarantine on a cruise ships...these ships are notorious for spreading gastrointestinal diseases and other illnesses. Totally bad idea...disembark...send everyone home.
Burn it.
Better be super diligently, rigorously, meticulously, thoroughly disinfected. Then send your senior as well as your junior staff & extended families on a 14 day voyage, and when they return sound, healthy, and pronounced fit as a fiddle you may put her back in service.
Scrap
No thanks!
Not even if the cruise offers major deals!
This is floating Petri dish
Yeah right!
You would have to have a death wish to sail on that boat.
put it at the bottom of the ocean.
You found a great cruise ship deal for April, but at least your ship incubated the Coronavirus positivepessimisms traveledition
Going to have to rename and do the cruise ship shuffle in order to get anyone to back on that ship.
no thanks. i will buy lotto tickets, better chances and if i win i can buy a yacht
One must be crazy to go on that cruise ship. 'Rigorous cleaning' Righhhhhttttttt.
Prime Minister Abe of Japan is useless.
Scuttle the plague ship. I’m sure they don’t know how to clean it any more than they do to quarantine it.
Cruise at your own risk
would like to know who wants to cruise on it? they may want to scrub the name off also
Can't wait for formal night.
quem vai encarar?
How cute. They think that cruises of any kind will still be sailing in April.
So soon? Is it too optimistic? China has now become a super raccoon city...
Nice name
Diamond Princess, soon with less Corona Virus! (Exclusions apply, see terms and conditions: may or may not also include rotavirus).
Oh hell no.
It should be rechristened 'The Contaminator'
as opposed to an ‘okay’ cleaning after other trips?
haha, yeah riiiiiiiight, screwwwww that______
Hope they change the ships name... bad Juju if they don’t change it....
Human incubator.... VERY dangerous way of traveling!!!!
A torpedo seems appropriate.
Renamed ‘Princess Petri Dish’
Oh no!
Cruise better be like 20 bucks. No ones getting on that ship
pleasure vessel
You couldn’t pay me to go on that thing lol
Empty
Yeah, I’ll be signing right up…
Hard pass.
