When the cruises start again, I'm sure that they must have a plan where they shall dock if they have an outbreak on the ship. In the beginning of the pandemi lots of places had no infected but now when it's spread it's more likely to find a place to dock. And I think you're wrong.

Those first cruises are in the Caribbean. I don't see any of those countries having adequate medical facilities to handle a cruise ship docking with cases of the coronavirus.

But sadly, I'm not sure adequate medical facilities is a major concern of the cruise lines if they need to off-board sick passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted May 10, 2020 #83 Share Posted May 10, 2020 There's nothing I will do differently except maybe sanitize handles in my cabin on day 1. I already wash my hands frequently and avoid people who are coughing. Someday, this virus won't be an issue. In the mean time, I will continue to be responsible for my own health just like always. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger88 Posted May 10, 2020 #84 Share Posted May 10, 2020 We have thought about it with my wife and we decided that if we will decide on going on a cruise at last, we will take all the safety measures and we will respect the policies. In any cse we didnt decide on it yet. We will see how the situation escalates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytocruise27 Posted May 10, 2020 #85 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I have put a deposit on a 2022 cruise. Hope there is either a vaccine or effective treatment by then because I don't want to be constantly thinking about safety measures like I am now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe a military hospital from Europe on one of the European Islands, for example St. Maarten, but Miami feels more likely. I really don't know how to handle it but I really don't think that there will be any cruises until the cruiselines know where to dock if something happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I sure agree. I would think the last thing they want is another blackballed ship. What a PR nightmare indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that one of the mandates to restart from the CDC was for the medical facilities onboard to be much more prepared for an outbreak. But again, we are not really disagreeing about anything.

That makes a lot of sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
