I'm pretty pro choose your own risk when it comes to COVID. I've done some traveling, been to concerts and sporting events all things I'm comfortable doing. There is one thing that I've still been hesitant about though. And that's getting on a cruise ship. After the horror story of the people getting quarantined on a cruise ship at the beginning of the pandemic I can't bring myself to do it. I'm not necessarily claustrophonic but the thought of only being in one of those tiny rooms and not leaving terrifies me. Cruise ships were docked due to covid in March of 2020. Recently, they have started to sail again, with strict COVID protocols in place. However, they can only reduce the risk, not eliminate it. And we are now seeing evidence of that first hand. At least 10 passenges and crew members abord a Norwegian Cruise Line ship tested postive for COVID-19. The ship returned to New Orleans yesterday after stopping at ports in Belize, Honduras, and Mexico after it departed on November 28th.
Passnegers on the ship told New Orleans news station WVUE-TV that they had been informed about the positive passengers, however others claimed the reporters questions were the first they had heard. All passengers on the ship were tested prior to arrival back in the US Saturday night. The ship was scheduled to have departed again Sunday night and it appears to have.
Would you be willing to get on a cruise ship yet? Or is it too soon in your opinion?
