Yea like you'd go on another cruise with them. They should be forced to fly a yellow flag.
Yes and the rest. And their old tub, the Black Prince had to be boarded at Invergordon by the local health officials.
Eh, no yur no, there's something seriously wrong with hygiene procedures on the company's ships. My own suspicion is that they have an asymptomatic carrier amongst their crews.
If it was me, nothing less than a full refund would do plus compensation. I gather it was like Russian roulette with passengers terrified to leave their cabins in case they were next. This is 2012 for God's sake, not the 1800s.
