World Heath issues and Cruise line Itineraries

[55ChevyLady]

Just found this :

Airlines including American, United, Continental, US Airways, Mexicana and Air Canada said they were waiving penalties for changing reservations to, from, or through Mexico, but have not canceled flights.

On Sunday, Royal Caribbean spokesman Michael Sheehan said the company is "closely monitoring the situation," but has not changed any of its cruise itineraries.

So glad to hear people are on top of this...personallly i would hate to have a cruise booked to Mexico right now.. however with that being said.. you can't live your life in fear...Common sense.. use protection.. and you should be fine.. (Sounds a lot like sex)

LOL!

remember the CDC guildlines. make sure you wash your hands before and after!!!!

wouldn't want to get a stickyyyy spacebarrr

Great thread, Joey.

Great info, Martha.

I agree, better safe than sorry. Scary stuff.

RE: the swine flu outbreak....

there are now 40 confirmed cases in CA, TX, Kansas, Ohio, and in New York City and 6 cases in Canada (i hope that info is correct, i was getting it off of CNN and then i lost my signal due to a storm moving in) LOL

anyway, my question is to all the CC members living in the border states:

Do you feel anymore at risk to the flu since you do live in a border state?

or for that matter in a state that is home to the major cruise lines ?

Living In California .. especially LA yes i do feel more at risk..(I am sorry people but humans are a nasty animal as a whole) (COVER YOU MOUTH)

it means that ... i plan my day so i can leave as early as possible getting back as quick as possible.. interacting with as few humans as possible.. and showering once I get home..

With the current global outbreak of Swine flu do you think the cruise line will begin to make last minute changes to their itineraries based on "activity" CDC reports.. and how would that make you feel?

It appears my original post was a couple of days early....

I wonder if the cruise-lines will offer partial incentives or allow booked guests an "easy way out" during the alteration of itineraries..... I personally think it would be good for business in the long run.

I live about 25 miles northwest of Joey. I don't feel more at risk because I live in an area that has a port, nor because I live in a border state. People travel all over and will spread this thing if they aren't careful. Kansas isn't a border state and it has a confirmed swine flu case.

But, like Joey said, people do not have common sense. Yes, cover your mouth if you cough or sneeze. Don't shake hands with me...I don't want your germs, just say hello. Take precautions, how hard is that to do?

I had a very bad cold in March, and it took an entire month to get over it. However, my hubby didn't catch it. Why? because I covered my mouth, I changed the towels often, the sheets, I washed my hands over and over, (and yes, I did continue to cook the meals). There are ways to keep this from spreading if people are more cautious.
