Should I Go on a Cruise During the Coronavirus Crisis?
"Are you still going on the cruise?"
That's a question my wife asked me earlier this week regarding a March 26 four-day cruise I planned to take with our son and my mother. The answer isn't a simple one even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the State Department have recommended that people, "particularly those with underlying health issues, defer all cruise ship travel worldwide" due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Cruises, however, have not been canceled, and at the moment, the short answer is that I still intend to take my son. We both have no underlying health issues and live in West Palm Beach, Florida, so we won't have to fly on a plane in order to get to the ship. For my mother, who lives in Massachusetts, it's a more complicated choice.
