Carnival Executives Knew They Had a Virus Problem, but Kept the Party Going
- pixelbreaker 7y agoThe only thing in the world worse than going on a cruise that I can think of, is going on a cruise with the coronavirus.
- vorpalhex 7y agoWhat, you don't enjoy being stuck in a metal tub with thousands of other people, eating diner hall food and drinking overpriced cocktails only to enjoy watered down visits to foreign ports for extremely short time periods? But I heard they have an infinite soda package for just $12 a day!
- obilgic 7y agooff-topic nothing extraordinary but but I like that bloomberg site is "trying to" catch up with new york times when it comes to interactive articles.
- empath75 7y agoI'll be thrilled if the cruise industry never recovers from this.

- Balanceinfinity 7y agoCruising is kind of fun. I've traveled every way, from backpacks and youth hostels to four star hotels - they each have their merits. No, if you take a cruise and stop in Maine, it won't be the same as staying there for a week with friends (I've done both), but if you haven't done it don't mock it. If you just want a day to look a city over (or maybe take a hike in a national park) but don't want to shlep in and out, cruising is a fun way to go. One great thing about cruising is this (same is true of resorts in general), if you have a large, diverse family, you can all get together for meals or activities on some days, but go off and get away from each other on different days - so you don't all drive each other crazy. Also, when you get older, it makes traveling a lot easier.
