Those refrigerators use an ammonia based refrigerant, not going to get as cold as Freon based at home but quieter as no compressor noise...FYI

We got off Coral February 6 after a great cruise to Antarctica. Under Captain Todd McBain Coral Princess became the largest vessel to ever sail into the volcanic caldera. Such an exciting memory and that makes it so sad to hear of the current bad news.

I am so extremely sorry to hear the news that passengers are showing up at the med facility with flu like symptoms! I was so happy earlier when it appeared your voyage had escaped the trauma of dealing with the virus. We will pray it’s not the corona but something else far less serious. 

I am certainly no specialist in this area but what your Brit passenger said seems likely however couple other possibility could obviously also explain cases showing up this long after your last port stop where passengers/crew were allowed off the ship. (I think I read in this thread that was in March 19th in BA but I’m unsure if any were allowed back onboard after disembarking here). From what I’ve read the incubation period can be up to 14 days. It is also possible that some passengers have hidden their mild symptoms In hopes they didn’t have the virus or even didn’t experience symptoms initially but as it progressed they appeared. 
 

I will continue to follow this thread and hope to see updates indicating good news related to the sick passengers. Take care!

Sad to hear of all this as Coral is my favorite ship and Captain McBain my favorite Master. He captained us on Coral in January on my most memorable to date cruise to Antarctica. May you all stay well and care for each other.
