I’ve been looking forward towards my Disney cruise for a year. My daughter and grandson are also traveling with us and we’re looking forward to making memories Now I have reservations about going , Will it be safe, not only will we be on a self contained ship with thousands of people what do you think the odds are that no one will have the virus. 11 days on a ship with thousands , not the safest environment. I was looking forward to making memories, and many more in the future with my family , don’t want this to be my last one. For those who are fearless , the virus doesn’t care, you or those you love can die too. Do you think any of the 50,000 plus thought they would die. I’m not a gambling man , I always try to make the best informed decisions in my life and the doctors say social distancing , hard to do on a self contained ship with thousands. Also what about the ports were traveling to the virus is there too. I’ll take a cruise next year alive and well
