That is one case out of 85,000.

I don't know if this is accurate, but this is the most detailed information I have seen about the actual virus. Thanks.

I don't know if people should be worried or not, but any time I see that the common flu has killed more people than Corona virus I pretty much stop paying attention to whatever comes after that. It is such an apples to oranges straw man. If you want to say that Corona virus only appears to be about 10 to 20 times more fatal than the common flu, then you seem to be at least in the ballpark of any numbers I have seen, but it's been around for such a short period of time, no really has a great handle on it. So comparing it to annual deaths from the common flu is just silly. Of course the media is overhyping, that is what they do, but that one statement about the flu is just...

I actually didn’t understand your post at first, but went back now and I get it. No worries. FWIW, I don’t think that’s me at all. I was never saying that RCL should necessarily give anything, just that due to the unique circumstance of the corona deal that I could understand someone being frustrated.

And if I misinterpreted emsff02’s post then I apologize.

If the Facebook post is accurate about a full refund, then it looks like RCL may have stepped up, even though they didn’t have to. Kudos to them if true.

I was going to stay away from this thread because it wasn’t really productive, but since you are specifically referring to my post I’ll attempt to explain what I said that you have taken offense to. I said “essentially ‘get over it’”. My use of quotes was not to create a direct quote of what someone stated, and what was stated is there for everyone to see. I’m not sure why that is offensive. if a response to most anything is the cruise contract says they can do whatever they want, that’s not really a productive conversation, even though it’s true. I meant no offense to anyone, but I do get irked when someone is told how they should “feel”.

Hakuna Matata. From RCL stockholders.

Again, this isn't about what they "can" do (the fine print). This is my opinion, but running on here to tell someone they should essentially "get over it", to each their own.

That's because apparently you just roll with the punches. However, a 5 day cruise isn't the same as a 7 day cruise. I am sure they selected a 7 day cruise because they wanted to cruise for 7 days. Surely you can see that.

Helpful post....just roll with the punches. Whether they have the right to do it, doesn't mean they should. Also, I am pretty sure it's more than a day at this point. Not saying there should be a full refund, but pro-rating the cruise is not an equitable solution.
