farawayatsea Posted February 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2020 It will for me. Just too much risk involved and it's impacting cruise ships far more than other holiday options. If one passenger on a cruise anywhere in the world is diagnosed (or even suspected) the ship will be quarantined. A cruise ship is a lovely place for a holiday when alls well but must turn into a horror show if quarantined. No cruises for us this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhfy Posted February 12, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2020 We leave on a b2b (21 days) next week. Only thing I’m doing differently if bringing an extra 14 days of prescription meds & extra hand wipes. The regular flu is much worse 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I use essential oils, thieves oil, thieves spray, thieves hand sanitizer and the thieves foaming hand soap will be with me. My DH and I will be taking a supplement called Inner Defense as well.

ScubesDad Posted February 12, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2020 We will be cruising in April and have no intentions of cancelling, unless the situation changes significantly. we certainly have no intention of travelling to south east Asia in the near future.

mrsgoggins Posted February 12, 2020 #19 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) No it won’t. I have Hong Kong to Tokyo booked next year and so hoping it will be over quickly, and not least for those affected.

Rare slewis7 Posted February 12, 2020 #20 Share Posted February 12, 2020 For now, we will continue to take cruises we have booked, but only because we have flights, hotels and excursions already booked associated with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBTravelBug Posted February 12, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 12, 2020 We have a short cruise out of Miami in March. We will definitely be on it and will visit the Future Cruise desk to book more cruise trips! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paphoslady Posted February 12, 2020 #22 Share Posted February 12, 2020 We will be cruising for 14 days in March. We will definitely go on the cruise, risk of contracting the virus is low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted February 12, 2020 #23 Share Posted February 12, 2020 With all of the quarantines and enhanced screening in place I think cruising in most parts of the world will be pretty safe from coronavirus exposure. Perhaps not on certain Asia cruises but those areas have already been quarantined. If media hysteria creates a concern then just stay home but for me I would follow US CDC guidelines and warnings in making my vacation decision instead of Fox and CNN. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydbarrett Posted February 12, 2020 #24 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) It won't stop me because I'm already booked. But yes, I'm nervous of being quarantined to my stateroom. If I wasn't already booked, I wouldn't consider a cruise right now. I just keep reminding myself that chances are extremely small of being quarantined and MANY ships are cruising right now with no problems. I'm also happy that my cruise is soon because later on the spread may be much worse. But even with all the worry floating around I am VERY excited for my upcoming trip 🙂 Edited February 12, 2020 by agibeault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
