Good grief! 70 year old husband dies on board, 69 year old wife medevaced and dies in a hospital in South Africa. Prob a dream holiday for this Dutch couple who aren’t going home again.

170 passengers in 80 cabins, 52 crew and ONE DOCTOR I can’t even imagine how stressful it would be - you spend 99.9% of your time getting paid to be on a cruise - deal with minor injuries and prob too many hangovers - telling yourself this is a pretty sweet gig, then BAM nightmare of a lifetime scenario. You’re stuck on a ship, responsible for the wellbeing of over 200 people who are all now freaking out over a yucky and potentially deadly virus killing fellow travellers.

I've never not gotten sick on a cruise ship.

Never gotten sick on a cruise ship or during vacations ever :3 (Is poor and never been on a vacation let alone a cruise ship)

A frighteningly large amount of people will see nothing wrong with digging around in their ass, then not washing their hands.

Cruise Ship and Hantavirus is a combo made in hell.

What a clean ship it must be! Oceanwide Expeditions must be proud.

Fyi hantavirus is what killed Gene Hackman's wife.

This is from mouse and rat shit in the food.

Enjoy your vacation! All you can eat!

Cruise ships make me wonder about if this could happen on colony ships.

There goes my plans for a cruise of the Four Corners area.

I'd rather take my chances with the sharks and hypothermia.
