LaRue1975 Posted March 5, 2020 #578 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Here is an article on the Grand Princess ship off the coast of California and also an article on an incident involving another Princess Ship. It’s USA Today so I don’t think you need a subscription to read it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/cruises/2020/03/04/coronavirus-princess-cruises-ship-met-protest-over-no-testing/4950651002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would suck but would get all our money back. Do you have some type of insurance that would get you all your money back? I don't think we took insurance out this time, which is not like us. But, from previous notes on this thread, it looks like the insurance companies have lots of loop holes in regards to pandemic/epidemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not a passenger on the ship. It is a passenger that was previously on the ship. Currently they are holding the ship because there were B2B passengers on this sailing that had been around passengers that were in the previous sailing have tested positive with one who has passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently they are holding the ship because there were B2B passengers on this sailing that had been around passengers that were in the previous sailing have tested positive with one who has passed. Correct. We have got to make sure to correct the incorrect info. Here’s the latest summary I’ve seen. I haven’t yet heard when the test kits are to arrive but I’m assuming it’s today. Let’s all hope for the best until we know more. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/first-coronavirus-death-california-linked-grand-princess-cruise-ship-quarantine/Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These passenger all need to be taken off this ship, and put into 14 day min quarantine, leaving them on the ship with recirculated air is the worse thing they can do, as the ship in Japan proved! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The governor just needed a little extra time to get prepared and also get the first round of test kits delivered and processed to get a slightly better handle on what’s currently the situation— eapecially for the 21 that are currently exhibiting symptoms.

But if Carnival cancel the cruise, I’m pretty sure they will give us a refund or full credit for a future cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many holes in to many systems ensures something falls through the cracks. The CDC already screwed up and released someone in Texas that tested positive, stuff happens. All that said, I think cruising is still safe for everyone, leaving in 10 days for an 8 day cruise. Think we are sailing with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and to your more traveled point, more “worldly” traveled as well. Kind of like the perfect transmission vehicle for a virus as well, not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacruise804 Posted March 5, 2020 #594 Share Posted March 5, 2020 15 hours ago, jimbo5544 said: Fair enough, how many ships does Viking ocean have? Where are their itineraries? Point me to a major line. How many people cruisr in them week to week? I have no idea what the second point is. You can look up number of ships and itineraries as easily as I can, but my two of my Carnival ports (San Juan and St. Thomas) are repeated on my Viking Cruise. I can't point you to another "major" line since I only have the two cruises booked. I do recognize the two lines are different (slight understatement 😉 ) - which is why I described Carnival as the everyday apple and Viking as the growing niche market apple, but they are both ocean sailing cruises. I read your posts as we shouldn't compare air policies to cruise policies, so I offered an example of a cruise line policy. I saw a CC article showing what some of the lines are doing and HAL (part of the Carnival umbrella for those who might not know) was listed. I don't know if you consider them a major line or not but that article might give you an idea of what others are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanjean80 Posted March 5, 2020 #595 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm on the Breeze on the 21st. Number of people at work today who have asked if I am still going: 8. Number of times I have relayed that I am at no more risk on that cruise than I am taking the NYC Subway on a daily basis: 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prof sent me an email last night about the current situation with Princess. She thinks I'm absolutely insane for considering going. Her fear is more the quarantine. My biggest fear is the missed ports. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5holmes Posted March 5, 2020 #598 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Going on horizon 4/4 not going to cancel unless carnival does. I figure there will be more room on the ship for us. I have the drink package so im all set to kill any germs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
