Cruisers Get A Break

      Well, you are on a West Pacific cruise on a Princess Lines luxury ship.  You are calling at numerous popular destinations on the East Asian coast.  You are sharing quarters with 2900 other passengers, many of whom are fellow Americans, some friends, and some new-to-cruising.  While anchored in Tokyo Bay, near Yokohama, word comes down through crew that there's a health problem.  The coronavirus has infected a passenger(no doubt already sick when he boarded.)  Now, all passengers will be confined to quarters UFO.  Now it has become known that this quarantine will last 2 weeks.  Meals will be served in your room(s).  Mercy.  You cannot believe this situation.  What if you have an inside cabin?  No windows.  No deck opening available.  Horrors.
      Now the US government will evacuate all Americans with a flight from Japan to the US mainland.  All those passengers will then be held in quarantine at a military base in the USA-FOR TWO MORE WEEKS.  But you are off the ship.  You are on home turf.  You can call home.  You can get connected immediately.  You can read all about your life=on line.
Welcome Home.
