Would you get on a cruise right now? (via The Washington Post)
Peterson and four other Carnival Freedom passengers who spoke to The Washington Post spent much of their Christmastime avoiding public areas of their ship, unsure of how many people have tested positive or unwittingly spread the virus. One passenger from a recent voyage on the same ship — who isolated in a hotel in Miami because he tested positive the day after the cruise — told The Post that his six-day Caribbean vacation has become a month-long ordeal because he cannot travel home to Canada.
The mitigation measures in place aboard Holland America Line’s ship, the Koningsdam, were “as good as it gets,” according to Paulette York, who was a passenger on the voyage that left San Diego for Mexico on Dec. 19. However, after 21 crew members tested positive, the boat was turned away from Mexico’s Puerto Vallarta.York, of La Quinta, Calif.
The company said the MSC Seashore was not anywhere near capacity during her previous cruises. “We had a total of 4,714 guests and crew members on board, compared with a maximum total capacity of 7,280 persons,” the company said in a statement.Two days after the boat disembarked Thursday, Hamawy said he felt some symptoms of covid-19: a sore throat and a high temperature. On Christmas, he quarantined at home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
