And the cycle begins again!

Dang. It was obviously going to happen, but you don’t want to hear about more people getting sick.

Well duh. It was obvious this would happen.

Who the heck would buy cruise tickets at such a juncture in history? Is this natural selection 2020? I used to work on an RCCL cruise ship once. I feel sorry for the workers mainly as they have fewer options.

This is just stupid !!!!!! Do I have to care ? I mean we are living a pandemic normal life is not possible stop this.

Looks like the cruise ship industry is going to need a long, long time to recover.

Floating petri dish.

Gee, who coulda seen that coming? Hmmm, perhaps cruises should be on hold until a vaccine?

Who in their right mind is going on a cruise now? Just plain stupid.
