What about all the transmission nightmares on planes? Tell that story as well!! That was the number 1 cause of the pandemic spreading so rapidly , not cruise ships.
I have no sympathy for the people getting on a cruise even after COVID-19 was declared an epidemic. Even after the Diamond Princess, they still decided to get on a floating death trap. Yes Carnival did a horrible quarantine job, but the passengers needs to protect themselves first.
I don’t understand why people are so mad at how viruses spread on cruise ships. They have always been like, but no one complained before the pandemic. Why should we complain now?
Many of these cruise ships weren’t offering refunds or an ability to move their dates. My family and I were scheduled to board one week after the diamond princess and only 1 day before we were ready to set sail did they offer refunds/date changes (which we took). The cruise lines failed the passengers because they weren’t giving people an option even though we were in an epidemic/pandemic at the time as well as the insurance companies (since they didn’t cover epidemic/pandemics...no joke)
WellDonePotato uh because now we’re IN a pandemic and how and where viruses spread becomes extremely relevant lol? what kinda dumb statement is that. uhm guys you never cared about this NEW virus before it existed so why do you care now that it actually exists uh wow so illogical lets just pretend its not there thatll help oki
For Americans, they wouldn't have known any better. From Jan thru to March 2020, Fauci repeatedly downplayed the virus. If he wasn't telling Americans the risk was low, he was telling young people to go ahead and take a cruise...the DAY BEFORE covid was declared a global pandemic. So, I have little faith in these "experts".
@@beresponsibleplease I don't care whether your cruise was cancelled. It's well documented Fauci told young people to go ahead and hop on a cruise ship on Mar 9th (I stand corrected when I said the day before)two days before it was declared a pandemic on Mar 11th. Yes, true!
A vast majority of people responding to posts on social media said in late February that they were going on their cruise regardless. Anyone who pays attention to any form of media saw this coming in February.
Right! Except it's not on them "too". It's only on them. Why does this fool think it's Carnival's job to educate people about their own health?! And if they had cancelled the cruise, the people would have been mad then too. Can't win with sheep. The masses are truly asses
Unpopular opinion but idk if the general public knew how serious COVID19 was until things actually started shutting down. I didn’t get the seriousness of it until mid March. That could explain ppl going on cruises dispite the warnings.
Kerry Cutler you guys have to understand that cruise ships will take all or most of your money if you decide to cancel. That itself plays a major role on these event.
Next time something like this happens they need to stop all travel in and out of countries as soon as an outbreak is announced. People on ships, planes, etc need to be quarantined until it is 100% okay for them to return home. Doing that will keep life normal for those countries without the virus.
When President Trump canceled flights from China the left and Democrats calling him names and were telling people everything was OK👌. Maybe you should rethink what you said about the right wanting to kill people, SN CY.

@@juicechronicled2451 The cruise industry is notably excluded from the White House's $2 trillion economic stimulus plan, and it will not be receiving a bailout.
Those companies usually register their ships in a “Flag of convenience” country (eg: Panama), register the company in a tax haven country (eg: Bermuda), and employ their staff from a low-wage country (eg: the Philippines). They’ll be just fine (without taxpayer bailouts).
@@ClayMann Agree. Cruise lines fly under flags of convenience, like Panama and Liberia, to avoid many U.S. taxes and regulations. Congress isn't going to bail out foreign companies. If the cruise lines need a bailout, they need to ask Panama or Liberia.
Elder people are actually more likely to task risk health wise because at that point they know they are in their twilight years. Elder people actually have one of the highest rates of STDs because they are less likely to use protection because they don't care if they catch it. They have the attitude that it is going to end soon for them any way so might as well just live and have fun .
How people continued to go on Carnival cruises after the poop ship fiasco in 2013 is BEYOND me! People were living in sheet tents on the decks and defecating into plastic bags for god's sake! If you're stupid enough to go on a Carnival Cruise after that how in the world did you expect them to take care of their passengers during a pandemic?!?! 🤦♂️
think i def dodged a bullet too mine left same day as diamond princess jan 20th finished 3rd feb . luckily it was nz cruise, the only cruise i would do as i dont want to go international at all.
Having lived in Orlando for years, we knew if Disney closed down, it had to be a serious threat. Even for hurricanes, we pay attention to Disney's reaction. LOL.
At minute 4:20 the guy says he has done around 2,000 cruises at 2 or 3 per year. At 2 per year he has been cruising since the time of Christ. I wonder if they knew each other.
Cruise passengers aren't usually the brightest - if they were they'd be able to organise their own holidays rather than having to be shepherded about in a floating shopping mall for a week.
@@travisstoudt8723 They've always had outbreaks. Usually it's norovirus, but that's still a no for me. And even before Covid, I stated I would never take one. This is not how I want to 'travel'.
I went on a cruise 10th March from Jamaica to Costa Rica and then when we were meant to dock in Panama we ended up stuck at sea for a week until the UK Govt asked Jamaica to take us back so that we could go home. Crazy experience.
I was on the last cruise Carnival had out of Miami. They did an excellent job. Temperature screening at the gate, extensive cleaning, hand sanitizer everywhere.. etc. I've no doubt cruising will be back.
As mentioned in this video, cruise ships have dealt with SARS, Zika, constantly battling with norovirus. How is it that they're supposed to know this is different, especially when many countries (in particular the U.S.) who had more knowledge of the truth of the situation hadn't shut down the cruise ports? Something like this hasn't happened in more than 100 years and most governments were still seeing this as an Asia problem, not a global problem. But everyone expects cruise lines to have seen more clearly? And the ships with the worst crises had left port before or around the time the depth of the problem on the Diamond Princess was starting to be understood. But that ship had a lot of Asian people on it so it was still seen as primarily an Asian problem. Hindsight is 2020. Why do so many people forget that when they're in the mood to bash and blame someone?
I'm not a carnival fan but this is like saying you'll never fly because there are always issues. If 99% of cruises are perfect you won't hear anything. You hear about the 1% that have problems.
They're going to have to dock and deep clean, give it time for people to get comfortable and trust cruising again. They haven't taken enough assured steps in response to the virus
It is easy to point a finger and say should have, could have. This was a fluid situation, I have confidence in CCL that they made the best judgement call at that particular moment.
Great example of people not knowing what actually happened. Carnival Corp IS NOT CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES! Yes Carnival Corp owns MULTIPLE cruise lines including Carnival, Princess, Cunard, Holland America’s Costa, Aida, Seabourne, and P&O. But these were Princess Ships not Carnival ships. Each company has slight differences and essentially operates on each owns terms. Carnival Cruise line actually has done a magnificent job at responding to COVID-19 and continues to make sure the health and safety of crew and guests is number 1. Stop throwing up images of Carnival ships when not a single one was ever quarantined or had confirmed cases.
@@baddriversofgeorgia3387 yea but it's mainly because they dont need to follow a lot of normal environmental regulations, they could reduce it so much so easily
So what is the protocol for guest who test positive ? We will be quarantined for sure till the next port/hospital. Medical insurance does not cover covid. How do we get back home?
There was a time when cruise ships were smaller, held no more than 200 passengers, and only rich people used it, but now you got a lot of poor people cruising too. Same is true with restaurants. Restaurants were only for the kings, queens, royalty, and wealthy, but now you have the proletariat a being waited on for food. What used to be rich problems are now everybody’s problems.
Went on a short 4 day cruise out of Long Beach Feb. 24-28 and another March 2-6 (long story). Federal officials were in the terminal on both occasions we were asked to fill out a questionnaire and sign it. Four or five questions and sign it. "Have you been out of the country in the last 3 weeks?" etc etc. The 100th case in the U.S, was confirmed the 1st of March and cruising ended about 2 weeks later. Lots of arm chair quarterbacks.
LOL from the title, for a second I thought "Nightmare" was the name of the cruise ship. Come putt around the ocean on "Nightmare" and maybe you won't fall overboard...
china is awful and chinese people are the worst people in the world at the best of times. Its comments like yours that make me smile and cheer and laugh when a chinese person is bashed, attacked and verbally abused.
not all but youre probably right, i had people saying i really didnt get the concept of cruising when i did my one and only. i slotted in half marathons at whichever ports it stopped long enough at. less kms if i knew i would be risking it time wise but always got at least 10kms in per stop. my only lazy days were the 3 sea days
@@leerag Yeah, we took a mid size ship to Alaska and we did not go for the partying and stuff but it was pretty beautiful and honestly, the cuisine was out of this world so I can be fine w/that being probably the only cruise I'll ever take.
OK, so the next time I have the opportunity to choose where I want to go on a vacation, and my choices are "a big floating petri dish packed with people" or "out in the middle of nowhere with nobody anywhere nearby" … guess which one I'll choose.
All of this Covid crap aside Carnival is kind of notorious with virus outbreaks in general (like Norovirus and the Flu) among other issues their ships and the ships of companies they own really makes me hesitant to cruise with them again. I normally do RCI instead
Start converting those cruise ships to hospital ships, otherwise they’re not going to be needed for a while. Use them to travel to other poorer densely populated coastal regions like Africa and India that will need resources most as the spread continues. Maybe the execs at these travel companies can see a humanitarian and commercial viability in using these vessels to fight against the pandemic instead of being barnacle magnets.
I think viruses spread more easily on cruise ships. Plus, people need their medication refills and have things to look after at home. Being stuck on a ship and needing to get off would be a literal nightmare.
You prob had Covid-19, we just didn’t really know about it, it was the first “wave” of cases since a lot of people said they went through the same thing around November and December and nobody knew what it was, so we’re actually going through the second wave of cases 🙃 so glad you’re okay and you should go check out your lungs when everything ends to know if your lungs are okay
a) Cruises are for assholes. b) Norovirus outbreaks aboard ship are common even in the best (non-COVID-19) of times. c) My new favorite film is "Contagion". Check it out. d) Stay home. Stay healthy.
I used to work for Carnival for a while and I literally HATE this company. The guests don't see the the reality and by choosing Carnival, they support an abusive work enviroment. I used to work for 16-18h EVERY DAY, and it's obviously overtime, they asked me to correct the times on the clock-in/clock-out machine. When I was sick and I couldn't even walk (due to back injury), nobody gave a sh*t and forced me to work no matter what. So...I am saying all of that just to confirm that Carnival dosn't care about any rules or norms, they will do the impossible to take every cent on the price of people's health, no matter guests or crew. One last thing: I remember one of my managers' brain washing tacktics who one told me with an irony in his voice: "You won't ever find better job than this in your country. Here you have everything. You better be thankful" Soooo.... What goes around, comes around Carnival. .|.
PS. This is NOT an unprecedented event. Microbiologists have long feared a global outbreak especially with the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria strains. The problem is human arrogance and forgetting that we are biological organisms subject to the same rules as other organisms. Stuff 3,000 people into a floating hotel with poor sanitation and air flow and what do u expect. Next time it will be worse.
should’ve y’all about the westerdam and how they let passenger disembark with no tracing methods in place. only temperature. then ofc a few days later someone from that ship tested positive.
Want to know why these cruise ships sailed despite clear, potential health hazards becoming apparent? Two reasons: 1) Money (naturally) and 2) Because we live in a global culture where no one wants to overreact...we'd rather underreact and pay the consequences instead of overreacting and being wrong. I leave it to you dear reader of which is better given what we have been going through with the present pandemic - overreacting or underreacting? You be the judge.
I love cruising. I will definitely go on a cruise when the covid-19 pandemic is over. There is a risk of death everywhere, even when staying home. It's not unheard of when people were killed in a house fire, by a tornado, or by hurricanes, or by a small plane that dropped from the sky, or by the disease that was brought upon by mice, or by the West Nile virus from mosquito bites from the backyard, or merely by smoking second-hand smoke from the neighbors.
My hubby and I took the Grand Princess cruise from SF, through the Panama Canal, and ended in Ft. Lauderdale just 5 months before the trip that got hit with COVID-19. It was a lovely, 15-day anniversary cruise for us and another couple with whom we are close friends, and we both have December anniversaries. After our 15-day cruise, this ship has an itinerary down to Buenos Aires, as is the norm for this ship. When I heard about the COVID crisis on this ship, I couldn’t help but think of the nice folks we met who were going on with the second leg of the cruise. In particular were two separate retired women who told us that they essentially live on the ship, and repeatedly take the same cruise, which allows them the opportunity to see more of the places they enjoy. I have heard of retired folks who do this fairly regularly. I realized those two older women were very likely on the Grand Princess (a lovely ship, btw) when the virus hit, and hoped they were not among those who got sick or died. We felt very fortunate that we went when we did!

'they'll all get tested' 'some chose not too' zaah what?
Neglected Carnival Corp... Won't cruise on any of their lines.
All of this Covid crap aside Carnival is kind of notorious with virus outbreaks in general (like Norovirus and the Flu) among other issues their ships and the ships of companies they own really makes me hesitant to cruise with them again. I normally do RCI instead
try, land.. dont use straws and shush
Fun fact. Many yachts cost more than even the most expensive cruise ships
Could you give an example, please? Most of these ships are 500 million+
That’s miss leading some yachts are more expensive than a cruise ship. Less then 10 yachts can come close to the price tag of a cruise ship.
they didn’t even mention the ruby princess!!! THAT was severe corruption
YES THAT WAS TERRIBLE
The people who were trapped inside cramped windowless interior staterooms should be given compensation.
Start converting those cruise ships to hospital ships, otherwise they’re not going to be needed for a while. Use them to travel to other poorer densely populated coastal regions like Africa and India that will need resources most as the spread continues. Maybe the execs at these travel companies can see a humanitarian and commercial viability in using these vessels to fight against the pandemic instead of being barnacle magnets.
And whose gonna pay for that?
They have offered.
So scary.
Virus: **is literally picking off cruises one by one**
Carnival: The show...must..go..on
Nice of you to forget the ruby princess now over 20 deaths and 600 infections, 23% of all COVID death in Australia came from that ship
They should’ve taught the passengers how to put masks on properly before they got off that ship 🤦🏼♀️
The cruise companies were not only at fault the passengers have to take responsibility as well
Don’t forget about the Ruby Princess in Sydney!
remember trumpy saying leave the ship in the harbor...he LIKED the number where they were?.. we do
I remember Dr Fauci telling young people to go ahead and hop on a cruise ship on March 10th, THE DAY BEFORE covid was declared a global pandemic.
devastated
Can someone please tell me what the song name is which starts at the beginning? The piano music is beautiful
I had plenry of reasons not to go on cruises. This just sealed the deal NEVER
"We've probably done 2,000 cruises"
"We've done 2 or 3 in a year if we're lucky"
🤔🧠 3 cruises x 100 years = 300 cruises
😂😂😂
He said 2 dozen, not 2000.
you’re a idiot sean
He said a couple of dozen.
Even the nocturne sounds ironic and funny.
This cruise finally refunded me the money they still need to send $200 and I’ll be done smh they took for ever
From now on ima buy the expensive rooms so i don't get stuck in a 10×10 ft room
Not sure what travel I will do after the Coronavirus crisis is over but traveling on a cruise is definitely not one of them.
Weather on land or on ship you still need to have a 14 day quarantine, You were fed and you were safe. So what the big deal? Where is the horror?
I think viruses spread more easily on cruise ships. Plus, people need their medication refills and have things to look after at home. Being stuck on a ship and needing to get off would be a literal nightmare.
Pretty weak report.
Last thing I would do during a fucking pandemic is boarding on a cruise
what its the name of the music?
No it's Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.2
! :) one of my favorites.
Chopin - Nocturne in E Flat Major (Op. 9 No. 2)
@@user-wx3om4xj5n you right👌
@@user-wx3om4xj5n thanks :)
I was on a cruise in November and got very sick with a bad sore throat and cough for three weeks .I was given a Zpack for 5 days and cough syrup.
You prob had Covid-19, we just didn’t really know about it, it was the first “wave” of cases since a lot of people said they went through the same thing around November and December and nobody knew what it was, so we’re actually going through the second wave of cases 🙃 so glad you’re okay and you should go check out your lungs when everything ends to know if your lungs are okay
Whos here during may 2020
This is why people won't cruise and stocks will fall!
The demographic of cruisers are in the Covid 19 red zone!
a) Cruises are for assholes.
b) Norovirus outbreaks aboard ship are common even in the best (non-COVID-19) of times.
c) My new favorite film is "Contagion". Check it out.
d) Stay home. Stay healthy.
I used to work for Carnival for a while and I literally HATE this company. The guests don't see the the reality and by choosing Carnival, they support an abusive work enviroment. I used to work for 16-18h EVERY DAY, and it's obviously overtime, they asked me to correct the times on the clock-in/clock-out machine. When I was sick and I couldn't even walk (due to back injury), nobody gave a sh*t and forced me to work no matter what. So...I am saying all of that just to confirm that Carnival dosn't care about any rules or norms, they will do the impossible to take every cent on the price of people's health, no matter guests or crew. One last thing: I remember one of my managers' brain washing tacktics who one told me with an irony in his voice: "You won't ever find better job than this in your country. Here you have everything. You better be thankful"
Soooo....
What goes around, comes around Carnival. .|.
I think a movie will be made based in this
Another reason why RCCL is going to take over the cruise industry.. there have been way too many mishaps with Carnival in the past 10 years.
There goes my graduation present to myself. Oh well...
Didn't matter if they had free rome in the ship ventilation system had been contaminated
Why the Hell would anyone want to be Trapped on Ship with Two-Thousand people?
Outbreaks of norovirus before Covid should tell folks something about these floating environmental disasters.
PS. This is NOT an unprecedented event. Microbiologists have long feared a global outbreak especially with the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria strains. The problem is human arrogance and forgetting that we are biological organisms subject to the same rules as other organisms. Stuff 3,000 people into a floating hotel with poor sanitation and air flow and what do u expect. Next time it will be worse.
should’ve y’all about the westerdam and how they let passenger disembark with no tracing methods in place. only temperature. then ofc a few days later someone from that ship tested positive.
Want to know why these cruise ships sailed despite clear, potential health hazards becoming apparent? Two reasons: 1) Money (naturally) and 2) Because we live in a global culture where no one wants to overreact...we'd rather underreact and pay the consequences instead of overreacting and being wrong. I leave it to you dear reader of which is better given what we have been going through with the present pandemic - overreacting or underreacting? You be the judge.
When humanity starts segregating people, that's when we are not different from the holocaust.
Cruises suck in general 🙄
It's your own damn fault for taking a cruise knowing that this was going on, I have no sympathy.
I love cruising. I will definitely go on a cruise when the covid-19 pandemic is over. There is a risk of death everywhere, even when staying home. It's not unheard of when people were killed in a house fire, by a tornado, or by hurricanes, or by a small plane that dropped from the sky, or by the disease that was brought upon by mice, or by the West Nile virus from mosquito bites from the backyard, or merely by smoking second-hand smoke from the neighbors.
The difference from a pandemic vs a natural disaster is that it’s preventable. There will be no over we will need to learn to function with covid 19.
That CEO should have known better and quit sailing in March.
My hubby and I took the Grand Princess cruise from SF, through the Panama Canal, and ended in Ft. Lauderdale just 5 months before the trip that got hit with COVID-19. It was a lovely, 15-day anniversary cruise for us and another couple with whom we are close friends, and we both have December anniversaries. After our 15-day cruise, this ship has an itinerary down to Buenos Aires, as is the norm for this ship. When I heard about the COVID crisis on this ship, I couldn’t help but think of the nice folks we met who were going on with the second leg of the cruise. In particular were two separate retired women who told us that they essentially live on the ship, and repeatedly take the same cruise, which allows them the opportunity to see more of the places they enjoy. I have heard of retired folks who do this fairly regularly. I realized those two older women were very likely on the Grand Princess (a lovely ship, btw) when the virus hit, and hoped they were not among those who got sick or died. We felt very fortunate that we went when we did!
Why does the world meter only show 46 cases???
And this is May 21, 2020!!! Something is wrong with the numbers!!!
