Genuine uncle intel on Coronovirus
I probably shouldn't say anything. This hasn't broken on to the news yet, but I am pretty anonymous here, and you guys should know.

I have a family member who is an officer on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. This ship is currently doing two week cruises between Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. the crew boarded last week, and traveled through Singapore and Hong Kong to get to the ship. They have sailed, but didn't pick up their scheduled passengers. It isn't an official quarantine, but the ship is conserving fuel out to sea with no passengers on board and the crew is using the term "quarantine". Nobody will allow them to dock, and they can't pick up passengers.
The outcome is not preordained.

Re: Genuine uncle intel on Coronovirus
Sorry for your family member

Hopefully they picked up the ships Doctor too - and that he or she will know what to do if sickness occurs onboard

Did they get the cooks and maids too ?

Cooks - and professional kitchen staff - know about sterilization for food handling and can connect the dots to keep people safe too.

The full crew is on board, they are having some do a deep clean of the ship and maintenance while at sea, but as I understand the officers are pretty much just hanging out. They cannot dock and pick up passengers.

i know nothing how this works, but is this even posible?

Sounds like an excessive of caution but understandable. I doubt anyone has it but if they do it will tell us something.

I think that's whats going on. A lot of the crew were partying in Hong Kong before getting on the ship.

"The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry"

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, to all bravely await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.”

hopefully they stocked the wine cellar and liquor supply back in port.

They could stay at sea for years.

You're hardly anonymous if you identify relations to a finite number of officers on a specific ship at a specific time.

Yes, people carry and spread it without any sign of illness. But on top of that, there are also many people who feel they just have a cold or mild flu and keep going out in public. Then there are some who say they had a cold a few weeks past, but then they are getting sick again with the fever. Like the virus damages the lungs, and then it takes a while for it to fester and become a deadly pneumonia.
