Assuming all lines will follow suit

well you shouldn't assume that. Princess has had a PR nightmare and most of their guests are elderly.. Royal, NCL, and Carnival for instance have a much younger crowd..

I wouldn't assume...but I if I was a betting man..I would say it wont be long till others follow suit....

 

Especially if there is a case on a cruise now.....it will all be shut down by the government I am guessing..

Nobody knows, of course....but I'm guessing that if we have many more onboard positives, the government will make it so onerous for returning passengers that the cruise lines will have no choice but to shut down some or most operations for a period of time.

As many others have expressed, it is not the fear of becoming infected or sick that has me concerned, it is what will happen when I try and come back on dry land.  New work rules and new government screening rules are taking the decisions away from us.  I'm not saying this is a bad thing...I'm just saying that slowly, but surely, our options are being reduced.
