I was planning on taking the family on the newest Norwegian ship just christened a few months ago in ten weeks. This virus has got me really thinking it's a bad idea another ship in California was just quarantine. We have a two bedroom suite booked on the top of the ship but I'm going to cancel it tonight,, this sucks.

Good move, not worth it until things settle down. Head to NC or thr Keys instead

Sorry about the cruise but would agree a cruise ship is not where I would want to be these days. Headed to Florida this weekend with the family and all I am going to be concerned with is sun, beach, fishing and cocktails and not necessarily in that order.

I don't think it s a tough decision. Maybe a tough conversation, but not decision. Hopefully you can accompany the bad news with some good... what else have they always wanted to do that you can offer up?

Yeah I’d can it too. Not for the virus but if virus was found you’re stuck on a ship if they quarantine it!

Think you're smart to swallow a bitter pill and cancel. It sucks, but with what's going on you can end up stranded at sea just because someone comes down with a cough....

I’d cancel, and it hurts my job security to say it. I’m not personally concerned about the virus, but if I get it I am concerned about who I might pass it on to. I fly for an airline, and I’m seeing lots of masks, etc. not that those paper ones do any good if you are healthy, and if you are sick I am pissed you are on my plane.
If you fly somewhere and the pilots stay in the cockpit and doesn’t stand in the door, don’t take it personally. I fly 400-600 people on any given day, I don’t need that many germs!

You made the right decision even though the family will be sad. Popular decisions aren’t always right and the right decisions aren’t always popular. Dads always have to make the tough calls. I’m going to Mississippi on a recruiting trip and told the HR department to rent me a car and extra hotel room instead of flying. It’ll take an extra day but I’d rather not bring any flu C19 or Influenza back home. Wife is on medication and basically has no immune system. Hope everyone stays virus free and that the weather warms up soon. Twisted, tough weekend for Florida. We’re expecting 6-9 ft waves this weekend. But that doesn’t stop your other activities.

6-9 foot waves?? Holy crap, well looks like body surfing will be in store. Hopefully it sits down mid-week as we are booked a deep sea fishing charter.

Tough call Glenn. I know several people that have canceled trips. Maybe you can book it again this summer when this this passes.

Don’t want to derail, but where in Mississippi are you headed?
