JeffElizabeth Posted March 19, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just saw a headline that Carnival wants to offer ships as floating hotel rooms. Might make sense, can escape port fees if they are helping out NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat04 Posted March 19, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yeah here is the news story. Offering their ships as a location to move less critical non-COVID cases to free up beds. https://nypost.com/2020/03/19/trump-says-carnival-offering-cruise-ships-to-help-in-coronavirus-crisis/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love_the_sea Posted March 19, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2020 A friend and I were talking last night and I "jokingly" suggested a cruise ship would be a good quarantine place for those who were infected. In land they are building special places to put trailers. I had no idea that someone would really come up with that idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted March 19, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Maybe the ships could be used for people who are not quarantined. And save hospital space for those that are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted March 19, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I saw this report on NBC News this evening. I am pleased to know that this offer has been made by Carnival Corporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
