News reports of a Carnival ship ending the Panama Canal voyage in Seattle with 100 to 200 Covid positive passengers. The news report says that Carnival is "assisting" some passengers with quarantine hotel costs. Also says that Carnival won't release the actual Covid numbers. Now, of course, this whole thing could be a family of 5 who caught Covid, ran to the media, and the media is just running with a wildfire story. This news organization was just purchased by one of "those" national media outlets. Carnival cruise 'overwhelmed' with COVID cases, passenger says | king5.com

Just got back from a great cruise. Left from South Florida. Since we live on the West Coast, we always stay an extra day and fly home the following day. As with thousands of others, our return flight was canceled the morning of departure (4 April). Alaska was able to rebook us for 5 April. We had an out-of-pocket expense for an additional hotel night and a couple of meals. We had a TravelSafe policy that I purchased from Steve at TripInsuranceStore. Total claim is for $321.78 Submitted receipts and a letter from Alaska confirming the cancellation (the letter states mechanical) and the rebooking. Let's see what happens.

I think the question has always been asked about who regulates the on board casino. This video answers that question.
