1. A three hour tour...a three hour tour...

2. And Those On The Boat Contacting That Person...

...get to spend their luxury vacation in their cabin!
What fun!

10. Your Insult Is Noted

12. Insult? Read that poster again. It was a reference to Gilligans Island.

19. "Calls Himself A Professor."

I've used that screenname since the AOL days.
The university assigned it.
I call myself GAC.
I get the Gilligan reference.
But, the "calling myself" is an insult.

[Squinch]

20. Wow. That's really stretching for it.

14. ...

3. Barbados should never have gone along with this crap

Cruise ships are super spreaders - I don't care how desperate we are in these islands.
No cruise ships.

5. Is the positive person well enough to walk the plank?

6. Here in Dominican Republic we are expecting plane loads of tourists every week.

Tourism is the lifeblood of this country

[Hugin]

8. A real opportunity for international cooperation is being missed here.

This whole scenario breaks my heart, because, I know that beyond the economics there are so many people there who love what they do in the tourism industry.

9. Well, that worked out well......

11. Cruiselines: Floating Petri Dishes

15. It's not even a very large ship.

Unlike those floating hotel amusement parks.

"There are 53 passengers and 66 crew on board the small, yacht-like vessel, which was anchored off Union Island in the Grenadines at the time the announcement was made."

If this yacht-like ship can't cruise virus free, those really big ships just won't be able to sail safely again until this virus is gone.

16. The one thing I agreed with DeSantis was when he wasn't letting that COVID infested cruise ship dock

More accurately is that I at least didn't blame him, but thought they would have to. Those people on that one had to be out of their minds to go on that cruise. By the time they left, unless they were believing what Trump was saying, they should have known how risky it was.

17. nobody could have anticipated this, nobody.

[Jirel]

18. SurPRISE!

Ok, not really. How are people so dumb to pay for a cruise and expect otherwise, right now?

[BannonsLiver]

21. I'm of the belief that if you have 100 people in a group

At least one of them, probably more, have the virus. There’s literally no way around that.

[liberal_mama]

22. Wow, I would have never seen this coming!

In a cruise group that I'm a member of, they are demanding to cruise now! I was planning my first cruise when the pandemic started, so I still see posts from the group on my feed.
