Leaked Emails: Norwegian Pressures Sales Team to Lie About Coronavirus

Re: Leaked Emails: Norwegian Pressures Sales Team to Lie About Coronavirus
#12This recent coronavirus outbreak has been very enlightening, cause it gaves us more information on why cruises are a bad idea, and perfect for an epidemic. The same air is recirculating among all cabins. However, it does not explain why we haven't heard of flu outbreaks in cruises before this coronavirus. It seems cruises are perfect for the proliferation of any airborne virus.

Anecdotally I hear about it almost every time the topic of cruises come up on Reddit or other social media. I just don't think its particularly newsworthy so it isn't making headlines. Cruise ships and Conventions are pretty similar in the sense that people just get notoriously sick after attending is my understanding.

We already knew that about cruises.

We have, actually, but we don't hear about it much, because, except with the scrutiny occurring during this COVID-19 outbreak, which led to media exposure for a cruise ship flu outbreak [0], cruise ships are only required track and report when gastrointestinal disease hits a certain threshold, not respiratory ailments.

I've been on a whole 2 in my life, but enjoyed both trips quite a lot - especially when people get off at various ports and I have huge areas mostly to myself :). Understanding there's some potential for this sort of thing, but may take the risk again in the future.

Agree, I’ve been on 20+ cruises. Will continue doing so after this has passed.

Perhaps because most people already have some immunity to flu and other not-new viruses? Those viruses are spread around a ship just as much but the effect is less noticeable.

#19As a Norwegian I want to point out that there are no Norwegian owners of Norwegian Cruise Lines. It is to my knowledge fully American owned. It was Norwegian long time ago. Sorry just don’t want to get us associated with such extremely unethical behavior. Frankly it ought to be punishable in the justice system.
Sadly you are probably correct.
The Nordics are the perfect cousins the rest of us Europeans keep being unfavourably compared to.
We have to keep digging!
