Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.
Thailand’s government has turned away a Holland America cruise ship on Tuesday, just hours after the firm announced that it would be able to disembark in Bangkok—making it the fifth time a country or territory has denied it entry amid fears that someone on board might have coronavirus.

I wonder how many people have cancelled their cruises because of Coronavirus.
 

We were thinking that this might be a good time to take a cheap cruise. We did take one in 2009 with cruise lines changing itineraries and passengers cancelling because of some swine virus in Mexico. The cruise went to the Bahamas instead. We drove down to the port and got to go to ports that they didn't normally visit. We had a great time & the ship wasn't crowded.
We changed our minds this time, when the quarantines started. That's a whole different ballgame, regardless of how much the cruise costs.
This is also norovirus season.
We flew to Hawaii one year in March. Some woman across the aisle from us on the plane was very sick with flu. We both came down with it and had to tough it out in a condo. Hawaii costs the same, whether you're touring the sites or sick with a fever in a condo room.
I don't recommend it.
