Re: Diamond Princess

I bet it will be difficult to cleanse this ship of the virus and bugs. Imagine the mattresses and carpets other furnishings .. scarey

Re: Diamond Princess

enough to put you off cruises for life. It's like when there is an outbreak of food poisoning, tons of people on the cruise get it too.

They really can be floating death traps. I'm glad I wasnt on that ship, poor buggers, how scary for them.

I don't think viruses and bugs live too long without a host Susan. The ships I've been on are scrupulously clean. I think it's the passengers that bring stuff on board, and it goes round like wildfire. Fortunately most companies are experts at getting it under control quickly. I do think this coronavirus is unusually prevalent.

It's a fragile virus. It only lives for 24 hours max with no host so the ship should be safe.

Re: Diamond Princess

All the cruised ships I have been on you won't get to a dining area without squirting bacterial liquid from containers just outside the eating area. They actually have someone watching to make sure you do
I don't think you will find anywhere else more fastidiousness. It is a fabulous ship to be on

Having been on this particual ship everywhere was absolutely spotless even down to the Art gallery

one of the lounge areas with small dance floor



another lounge area



art gallery



Main theatre



and the food you could die happy, eat as much as you like (sorry about the shot angle)

Just one of the many sweet dish areas to choose from
