Have a Disney Cruise planned in April - Have a feeling there will be many more Long Beach cautious delay scenarios
I am worried Long Beach may be a tipping point today. Passengers are still being held pending a test on a single sick passenger. If negative, they will be released. Nobody has said what will be done if positive. I guess they get pushed back out to sea and quarantined? Or they screen every single passenger coming off the boat, which is useless unless they can test each of them.
This admin needs to standardize a protocol for this and air travel asap.
A river cruise ship in Egypt is the latest to be quarantined.

Heading to Quito and the Galapagos for 10 days in a month. South America’s still looking good, right?
Ecuador has 14 confirmed cases and Brazil is on the map as well but South America generally has been much less impacted. I’m kind of in the same boat. Heading to Cartagena then a week in Peru to hike the Inca Trail in early April. Planning on going as of now and taking precautions where possible when traveling.
alaska rules. plus it's so far away that the virus can't get there

State department has issued an advisory that US citizens not cruise.
Passengers on Cruise Ships
U.S. citizens, particularly travelers with underlying health conditions, should not travel by cruise ship. CDC notes increased risk of infection of COVID-19 in a cruise ship environment. In order to curb the spread of COVID-19, many countries have implemented strict screening procedures that have denied port entry rights to ships and prevented passengers from disembarking. In some cases, local authorities have permitted disembarkation but subjected passengers to local quarantine procedures. While the U.S. government has evacuated some cruise ship passengers in recent weeks, repatriation flights should not be relied upon as an option for U.S. citizens under the potential risk of quarantine by local authorities.
This is a fluid situation. CDC notes that older adults and travelers with underlying health issues should avoid situations that put them at increased risk for more severe disease. This entails avoiding crowded places, avoiding non-essential travel such as long plane trips, and especially avoiding embarking on cruise ships. Passengers with plans to travel by cruise ship should contact their cruise line companies directly for further information and continue to monitor the Travel.state.gov website and see the latest information from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/cruise/index.html.
Countdown until Trump allocates some of the $8 billion emergency bill to help bail out the cruise line industry.
Cruise ships being the main carrier of this disease into the U.S. is not surprising at all. They're all cesspools.
