AF-1 Posted March 5, 2020 #708 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I agree RocketMan275; people want some excuse to not try something new. I say if it bugs you that much about security or someone spying on you stay home. Have fun out there. Edited March 5, 2020 by AF-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred&Lily Posted March 5, 2020 #711 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm not living in fear of viruses and will certainly continue to cruise, but isn't it a little odd that this so-called Corona Virus seems to pop up in areas with intensive 60 Ghz wifi coverage. Ocean Medallion is one of the devices using 60 Ghz (5G). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't use it if you are that frightened by fairy tales and the boogie man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ereggae Posted March 6, 2020 #722 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I got that same email. Still going as scheduled. I got a great deal, which may not be duplicated on a future cruise so will take my chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No use in tempting fate especially when we were on a 3 week cruise only w few weeks ago. The only thing positive about it is that I've been an a diet losing the weight I recently gained on the Regal. I might as well continue on the diet & get ready for all those deals that'll be coming along for the fall season when all this virus activity will be over.
