The way this virus spreads so easily and silently, there is no point socially distancing on a cruise ship. It must never get on board in the first place. This is the entire problem.

Rubbish, deaths are double what they were 2 weeks ago. Currently death rates are lower than the peak because the cases are spread further around the country. Hospital capacity is being stretched in more and more places and if it continues numbers will explode again. Sorry but there is no justification in cruising until numbers turn around. Americans may see it as OK and say it is our right to have freedom and live our lives but what country would accept them as tourists.

Yes we can trust 1 social media comment. The 100's of medical experts and doctors I have heard from or spoke to say the opposite.

It is not me that I worry about it is the exponential number of contacts I will come in contact with during or after that I could ruin their lives.

Deaths are down from the peak but are hardly going down. Most countries who have this under some control have both numbers going way down.

Other than a private island or cruise to nowhere where would a cruise be able to go. No country in their right mind would accept a shipload of Americans on their doorstep. The country needs to fix itself first before putting problems elsewhere. The right to freedom is not always for the best.

Workarounds?
 
This is why the country is in the state it is.

@Nicolas LaBarre  I have said that alot. Being in a rush will often set you back more. Not to mention that a cruise ships is all things in one, therefore the CDC has to be a bit stricter. I miss the water so much but I cannot with a clear conscience say we need to be on a cruise asap. RCCI has enough capital and bookings to make it,  just allow for things to run the course.

Only if you were one of the many millions dying or one of the many nurses doctors required to work 24 hours a day.

One of the problems of being so successful with the virus. Have virtually eradicated it here so cant afford to let anyone else in. 

There is no overwhelming feeling that the cruise ships brought it in. However there is a negatavive perception of the cruise lines, particularly in the final weeks before cruising was suspended when the world was fully aware of the risks. Cruises were going ahead against public health advice and cruisers were not allowed to cancel without losing everything and they were being told that all ports were available even when it was clear they were not. 

The attitude to the virus on a whole is a lot different to the USA. Yes we have a smaller population however Sydney has a population of 5.5 million and a higher urban density than most USA cities (figures show a smaller density however 85% of the area is virtually uninhabited) 

NYC is the best example. High population and density and yes they suffered as expected. But they have managed to not only flatten the curve but are seeing it head down. What is the excuse for the rest of the country 3 months on? They said the warm weather would kill it off. Not happening.

I cant see there being any cruising until there is some sort of improvement.

And they stuffed up by putting Equinox in the RC ships.

Another one that someone posted on A facebook page I am in.  No idea of reliability but something just posted.

Seems to be an excessive amount of NZ cruises to me when compared to South PAcific.
