No, not now. But when some semblance of normal returns, I'd recommend it.
250 passengers on the Cruise ship have upper respiratory health concerns , Premier saying they will try and help the seriously ill but not let passengers off the ship . Premier asking for Commonwealth assistance .
This ain't helping much ... concerning for passengers and authorities handling this .

In all honesty, what is the appeal? I can get it if you're elderly - having programs planned out for you, lots of opportunity to chill, seeing new destinations without you having to lift a finger - but for me it's being stuck like a sardine for days at a time with people I might not always like with not much freedom even on shore excursions. Not to mention the enormous environmental impact that ships have...
Except the Cruiseline says evreyone is fine
It sorted evidently now it's just to Dock in Fremantle for refuelling and then travelling / cruising to Dubai . Passengers staying on the ship .....
I'm interested in seeing what they do with this year's draft, should there be no more football.

I enjoy active holidays. So for me the appeal has been all the activities involved. I've done 3 cruises and so far they have included -
a rockclimbing wall
a surf simulator
mini golf
ice-skating rink
basketball court
dodgem cars
skydive simulator.
Throw in live entertainment every night, such as musical acts, comedians, stage productions. Plus all you can eat food around the clock. And then on top of that you're visiting a tropical island every other day. And for says at sea you can lounge by the pool if you're feeling lazy...
It's not for everyone I guess.

Big fan of cruises. Such a fun, carefree and social experience.... normally.
I think most people that have done them are generally impressed, it's the ones who haven't tried it that tend to knock the idea.
Beats hiding in a Bali villa for a week.

Key emphasis on 'normally'. No way I'm taking one right now.
The phrase "don't knock it 'til you've tried it" could've been invented specifically for cruising.
That actually sounds *en awesome

Yeah. It is.
My vagina dried up reading that and I don’t even have one.
Each to their own I suppose
In all seriousness this will kill the industry. A lot of people will be hesitant to do cruisers after this as well.

Being Vic based I can't help but notice the statistical anomaly around the number recovered.
10x more than other states, when coupled with the significantly lower per capita test rate I'm not sure whether to be alarmed or happy.
Vic didn't get it any earlier, is it just a demographic thing (maybe more younger people infected early on in Vic, where NSW had a lot of infections early in aged care) or something else.
Either that or plenty of cases are being missed over here.

It's a good year to not have an early rounder.
The lack of exposure will make pics more speculative.
Tasmania and ACT still haven't announced anything. Wonder where they are at.
