Cahpek Posted March 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Has anyone read this report in the UK Daily Mail? See: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8135391/British-pensioners-scuffle-cruise-ship-crew-taken-coronavirus-struck-Italy.html Was that really true? If there are passenger reading this, and who were on board the Costa Pacific on this cruise, perhaps you could give us your take on this and provide us with more information?

samiam1 Posted March 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The cruise ship had plenty of warning to turn around just like the Luminosa. Pacifica could have made it back to South America instead of pushing forward into the epicenter of the pandemic. There will be courts of inquiry over this I suspect.

We have fond memories of the Deliziosa and I enjoyed reading your account of the voyage (even if it differed somewhat from the experience of us inside-cabin, non-drinking passengers!) We have friends on both the Luminosa and Pacifica, but haven't heard from them in a couple of days. They were in Marseille at the time.

arabrab Posted March 22, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Why could they not simply sail to England and disembark the passengers there? We're not talking halfway around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbingbob Posted March 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2020 France seems to have not even been willing to disembark their own nationals so why should anyone else? Every country’s health systems are under enormous strain treating their own citizens, they will not want to admit possible future patients if they can avoid doing so. Cruising must surely stop completely for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
