Why would anyone want to go on a cruise ship, it just beggars belief that people would think this is a safe way to travel🤦🏼‍♂️

Who I their right mind would go on a....nevermind.....

Bear's toilet

Meanwhile the airlines, which spread the virus around the world in a matter of weeks, continues to operate. This is the current UK flight tracker

WTF?...whoever thought that cruise ships were a good idea in the middle of a pandemic should be taken out and shot

Let it be : insane cruising during Covid19 pandemic.

Huh.

Beggars Belief that they restarted cruises again!!!

Anyone taking a cruise in the midst of a deadly pandemic wants their heads examined. They’ll get quarantined in the middle of nowhere, then moan & whine about it non stop

Who in their right mind would go on a cruise now? Never appealed to me before either. A floating incubator.

Nothing would ever get me on cruise ship. The whole concept repulses me.

Wait, they restarted the cruise industry!!

Cruise ships yeah like we fecking need them now FFS convert them to fecking bedsits FFS coronavirus cruiseships you'd need to have escaped from the fecking asylum to get onboard FFS

We’re there Americans aboard? If Trump won’t take this seriously, the rest of the world needs to. Close your borders to America. We’re doing nothing and letting it run wild.

pbo4us12 It is “Idiocracy” every single day now.

Suprise suprise

What made the company and the passengers think this would not happen? lunatics learningcurve

We never learn any lessons

In the words of the famous poet Homer Simpson “DOOH”

The cruise ship industry never conquered the norovirus infections of the last few years. Why should we expect ships to be safe from the new SARS-CoV-2 coronovirus contagion?

WHY are they restarting?!?!?!?!? It's. Not. Safe. Yet.

That is a quickly dying industry.

Is there some sort of stupidity-epidemic going on around the world? Cruise ships were infamous for disease outbreaks BEFORE the COVID-19 pandemic erupted. Cram a bunch of people together aboard a floating party-palace and ply them with alcohol, and you've got a CoronaFest.

Shiver me timbers!

Why would you get on a cruise ship ? Why ?

Does science & medical advice not matter anymore

Who in there right minds would go on a cruise now? 🤦‍♀️

What are they thinking.

No one could have seen that coming. Amiright!!!!

Why in the hell would anyone pay to board a floating Petri dish?!
