As the novel coronavirus continues to spread, the cruise industry is under scrutiny following an outbreak that has left one ship quarantined in Asia and passengers worldwide worrying about whether they need to change their cruise plans.
The vast majority of cases are centered around China's Hubei province, where there's a massive containment effort to stem the virus' spread, said Lynch. "Cruising is one type of travel. How comfortable are you traveling right now? It's that kind of thing that everyone has to answer for themself. I think a lot of people are traveling right now still and there are still cruise ships all over the world that people are getting on every day who are not affected by this," she said.
"They understand a little bit more about how the lines work, about the type of compensation that they are expecting and allowed and they have travel agents who are able to help them change their plans," she said. Even in Asia, Lynch notes, the probability of encountering someone who has been exposed to the virus, is asymptomatic upon getting on the ship and develops symptoms over the course of a trip is"really, really low."
I’ll pass. I’m not even eating Chinese food right now.
That's a hard pass, thanks
On December 31, 2019, the first case of Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was reported. By mid-February 2020, it reached a mild-pandemic level that had killed more than 1,000 people in China and the world over. Facts CoronavirusOutbreak
I wouldn’t get on a cruise if I won a trip.
Ethically it is NOT OK to take a cruise ship, considering one single trip of a cruise ship can consume up to 0.82 tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (about the amount one citizen in an industrialized country produces in 1 month)
Because he is getting paid by the Ship Cruising Companies. What else would he say!
What cruise ship owning billionaire paid for this story to be run?
Coronavirus surely has threatened everything...business, family, social activities...just name it.
How much did he get paid?
Not certain the public sees any wisdom there ... maybe go for a picnic in the park.
این کشتی رو هنوز رها نکردن که بره ؟! رها رها رها من...
Tôi đâu quết định được lương tâm của bạn! Hãy làm những gì bạn cho rằng tốt đẹp !
Heaven forbid you miss out on playing shuffle board with 90 year olds.
Tại sao lại không thể?
Happy Valentines
What
Just don’t drink any Coronas & you’ll be fine lol
Nope
As he receives his direct deposit from carnival.....
I’m not sure I would trust a doctor that calls them “cruise boats”.
And thanks CNN. For once again selling out your network with these insanely fanatical articles that the birds are singing and life is great. Look at the circumstances logically, without hype, factually. Do you REALLY think getting on a cruise ship is a good idea? No, no you dont
Stop it
What is this post?
Cruise ships are terrible on an environmental level and aren't covered by general laws very well.
The doc . should had said . ,Its still ok to take a cruise in about a years time from now , But NO this Doctor sounds like a 8 eight old , I can not believe he said that , The fool .
Floating petri dish.
Idk, good luck Dr
On a 737 max heading for our next cruise....
Nah, I'm good lol. I never liked the concept of an overcrowded cruise ship anyway lol. It's hard to find those that arent packed
It isn’t. Fake News can never tell the truth, because they will never tell the WHOLE truth.
Just no. You first had me backtracking because of the 'far too common on cruise ships' norovirus. Add the potentially deadly coronavirus to the vacation destroying norovirus and that's a double doggy NO to cruise ships.
Uhhh... nahhhhh
'Cruise boat ?' These things are five times the dead weight tonnage of a WWII aircraft carrier....
Yeah me too 🤥
Right now hell yeah.
I've always hated the idea of a cruise for several reasons but the latest news of all these passengers quarantined sealed the deal for me. I think the cruise lines are dead.
should do a weeks worth of shows from a cruise
It was never a good idea to get onto an enormous cruise ship. Sure some people love it. To most it makes no sense at all and never did. Captive with plenty of sick people (kids, elderly, etc) on EVERY journey. It’s just now that it is a more serious illness.
I love cruising...but I would not even consider a free cruise until this virus threat has been eradicated. My heart goes out to all those passengers stuck on the cruise ship(s).
Someone is getting paid. Didn't doctors use to advertise for cigarettes?
The cruise ship industry has a pretty bad history when it comes to diseases and breakdowns. They turn these ships around in short periods of time to make large profits. I have no confidence in getting on one.
Yeah, try princess diamond. Do not bullshit the American way.
I won't even pay me
Nope not gonna do it
When asked if he would go on a cruise, the doctor said 'Hell no. What do you think, I got a death wish or something?' BreakingNews
Like I'm going to take any advice from a CNN doctor. Lmao!
Because cruise lines paid CNN to say this because they’re losing business
