    rccl will probably put out a detail statement this weekend, tomorrow starts the 30 day window to restart sailing, i think they will extend 30 more days wiping out rest of may and part  of june..  2 more of my cruises down the drain... will be interesting what they do with 90000 crew industry wide, they cant keep them on the ships forever...

    Many Hundreds on Royal near end of Contract have already left ships. Also many more Contract Employees left in last few weeks

    Yes. As I posted several times and is mentioned in every article about this story McDonald's served the coffee at 185-190 degrees F. This fact was not in dispute. McDonalds admitted it. 

    The McD QA manager also said they knew coffee temperatures above 145F could cause injury and that the coffee was too hot to be consumed by any guest. 

    I won't post pictures here but feel free to search for third degree burn pictures and let me know if you think that kind of injury is equivalent to a "pizza burn". 

    Worked in multiple Restaurants in 1980's as Manager. We never served coffee at 145 or under. At Burger King we served it at 165, another place worked at it was 157.  As Served At 160°F plus the flavor and aftertaste of the coffee can be judged; at 140°F, the cupper can determine acidity and body, and then move on to balance. Anything over 205 degrees will burn the grounds and leave you with a nasty aftertaste. This is the same reason you want to drink your drip brewed coffee as soon as it's finished brewing - leaving it on the heating element for too long can also burn the coffee. For a French press, you want your water to be somewhere around 195 degrees... A hot bath means different things to different people one man’s “toasty” is someone else’s “scalding.” And so it is with coffee some may like it hot, but there is a wide range of preferences on just how hot “hot” is.

    As a parent, I’m not sure I could ever take that blame away in my mind. But, I’ve never been in that dark of a place so I can’t say for certain. 

    Court of public opinion isn’t going to change, though. Literally millions have sailed on RCCL ships with slide open windows and this is the first incident (to my knowledge) of this type. 

    Saw report said from all causes at least 240 passengers and crew have fallen or jumped off Cruise ships in last 10yrs. Only about 20% lived... Resently there was kid fell couple decks, might been on Carnival...  Agree about the Blame, as parent or Grand parent. Loss of a child, cant comprehend. Know several couple my Grand parents included, marriage didnt survive loss of a child

    If any port has dogs they will sniff it out, such as in San Juan, and it will be confiscated.  

    Mexico also has Food sniffing dogs when get off ship. Would hate get caught, Large Fines! Need snacks just bring packaged items, always had them for my then young kids. And though rare over the yrs have seen about dozen passengers get bags inspected leaving ships. Not sure random or hit from something suspicious
