Princess Chatter

The day when the crew has to wear masks & gloves to serve the food will keep me off the ships forever.

Both my wife & I have the typical older age problems.....high blood pressure & high cholesterol. I wonder how that would influence their decision to let us sail in the future?
Somehow I can't really believe it would keep us off any cruise line since many others have the same medical ailments.

The kicker will be if those 70 and older have to provide a doctor's permission slip to board.  If that happens I think Princess will have a much harder time filling ships.  Why CLIA advocated for cruise age discrimination is a real mystery.

"(CNN)Australian police boarded the Ruby Princess cruise ship Wednesday night to gather evidence for an investigation into how thousands of passengers were allowed to disembark in Sydney last month resulting in a spike of coronavirus cases.

Over 600 cases and 15 deaths have been linked to the ship, according to public broadcaster ABC. "

Not a great time for a cruise anywhere.

I'm just finding it a little surreal that people are cruising at a time when our world is being reshaped. Of the planes left flying, many are nearly empty, and I can't remember the last time traffic was even a topic.
The evening news is just awful.
I look at the cruise sites with almost a mystic disconnect, not quite understanding most of the things that were.

Perhaps cruising is in our future, in a better time, once the world has recovered, somewhat.
One thing rings true. It will never be quite the same.
Stay safe.
