One of the first large cruise ships to resume sailings in the Mediterranean since the coronavirus-caused worldwide halt to cruising in March is experiencing a significant outbreak of the illness.
At least a dozen crew members on the 2,534-passenger TUI Cruises vessel Mein Schiff 6 have tested positive for COVID-19, according to multiple news outlets in Greece.
The ship had just begun a seven-night voyage around Greece from the port of Heraklion in Crete.
Greek newspaper Proto Thema says the vessel is now heading to Piraeus, the port for Athens, by order of Greece’s General Secretariat for Civil Protection.
The news outlet says the 12 crew members who tested positive have been quarantined in their cabins, and the vessel has begun a contract tracing effort.

= new reply since forum marked as read
say no large crowds, maintain social distancing, wear masks.... but you put 2500 people on a ship 
These 2 need to get a room!
Got to go back to Normal, got to get the customers in, got to get those tills ringing again.
Too early, too risky, but . . . it's the economy, it needs feeding! As long as you or your closest aren't affected by the virus, no harm done. Fill the cruise ships, collateral damage be damned!
