Oh dear. We'll THAT just boosted my confidence in getting from here to Barcelona. 

I think the media is PARTIALLY to blame for people's (including me) panic mode concerning this. We can't be laid back about it but at the same time we just have to be vigilant. I'm fine with the million wash hands

We'll see how my Mediterranean cruise goes in September. 

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a million hand washes not mitigate the possible airborne droplets coming into contact with you? If I'm on the cruise, I can't really know when or if the person next to me is going to cough or sneeze etc.

Not trying to be impossibly paranoid though.

That's what I recently read. 

Hi all. I'm booked on the Allure for a Mediterranean cruise from September 13th -20th. Yes the virus is a concern. Yes there's misinformation. Yes I'm thinking about cancelling but I'm holding on looking at the news. However, today I saw on BBC that NORTHERN Italy reported some cases and has closed schools, businesses etc in Milan etc. My cruise has Pisa, Rome and Naples stops. Thing is, I have till June for my final payment on RCCL. however I live in the Caribbean. My flights,Trinidad-miami-Spain and return is costing me about $20,000 for 2 and the cruise is about $15000. I know the money can't be compared to death from infection, BUT, if you were me, what would YOU do? Please help.
