Will there be enough crew to take care of passengers, as they may be infected also?

Nothing to see here.

I would think this is no different to just about any cruise these days (certainly no different to our recent cruise around the UK) but our scum media and the panic merchants will have a field day. Fortunately the comments from the Qld Health Minister put the story in context.

There are plenty of COVID on all cruise ships right now, not just in New Zealand. Cases are up everywhere, sadly.

I don't think any cruise ships have made it to New Zealand yet. Coral been doing short sailings out of Brisbane, testing the waters so to say (as has P&O).

No mention of just how many cases constitutes an outbreak. Seems business as usual for everyone. The media is scaremongering while Princess and the health authorities are going about their business in a calm professional manner. As another poster said, there's nothing to see here.

Boring, boring, boring, Covid is everywhere, and a cruise ship is no different

The good old media down here tried to blow this up and it ended with egg on their faces. Thankyou to the people interviewed who weren't conned by the media beat up.
