Mrs. Thomas Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Depending on where you are sailing to, I would still go. There is a lot of needless hype in the media. If you live on the west coast or are sailing from there I would think twice, if not then I wouldn't worry too much. You have a better chance of getting the flu. Wash your hands well and often as if you were trying not to get sick from anything else. I personally am not cancelling my cruise. I refuse to let something like this ruin my fun when it doesn't have to. At the end of the day, you have to make the decision yourself. IMO, if RCCL thought is was a crisis, they wouldn't risk lawsuits and keep the sail date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts on the situation are no one in my family has a high risk factor (underlying health condition, elderly, etc) and you cannot live your life in fear of "what ifs". Moreover, I've seen countless reports from cruisers on the lengths the cruise line is going to sanitize the ships.

These ships are probably cleaner than they have ever been before... Id rather be on a ship rather than a plane-- or even worse, WalMart LOL I will be on the same ship with you.. Harmony-- we will see you soon! Mrs. Thomas and Nanette 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 On a ship as I write this. The media is rarely kind to the cruise industry and they haven't deviated in this situation. As someone who isn't in a high risk category I've researched the facts and avoid the news or media as a data source. Everyone needs to make an informed decision based on facts, not the collective hype driven by the media. Enjoying my cruise, no regerts.
