      It’s never been a good idea.

      I have heard some retired people will go on cruise ships because it is cheaper than retirement villages. They would also be more at risk if a outbreak happens though.

    confined to their rooms for days.

    Bruh. Calling some of those ‘rooms’ is a stretch.

    Prison would be a luxury compared to this.

    Still, anyone going on a cruise nowadays should have heard about the Ruby Princess and be prepared for shit to happen…

    I like in the article the people complaining that no-one told them there was covid on the ship… there is covid on every ship as people aren’t gonna cancel their holiday and fight their insurance company to get their coin back, they are gonna jump on the ship like there is nothing wrong and then head straight for the most crowded bar

      I didn’t know queenslanders were such penny pinchers! (Or maybe it’s the Adelaidians who are penny pinchers?)

    It’s unfair to expect people to start making good decisions as soon as they step aboard.
