The greatest fear I have regarding our cruise this Fall is that some passengers come down with flu-like symptoms and the ship gets quarantined and nobody is allowed off the ship in some port by a government agency.:mad: Seems like Greece is prepared to isolate only those passengers that exhibit the flu symptoms.;)

International law say: if in a ship the 10% or more people has problem, only then nobody from this ship can't visit the port..

 

in Ruby case, the wrong alarm was from ship's doctor who call the Greeks and talking about swine flu.. until today we have 600 people with swine flu symptoms and the 95% of them are tourists... most of them are without fever and they have go back to their homes..
