No real surprise, but likely to set back resumption of cruising in general.

Will be interesting how the virus got on the ship, despite their checks.

Thanks David for the link.

I'm disappointed but not surprised.

It was reported that a passenger on the previous cruise tested positive after the cruise, and infected the crew.

Although 15 million have apparently been infected around the World with Coronavirus, I remind people that the World now has 7500 million people - this virus has plenty of places yet to hide over the next many years - with or without a vaccine!!!

And now 2 AIDA ships also have infections on board. I read it was detected in the crew and all future AIDA cruises have been put on hold.
