After waiting for 6 hours while the CDC oversaw the complete sanitization of the Crown Princess we did not set sail until 10:30 PM. We were repeatedly warned about the virus on the previous voyage and reminded of the importance of hand washing and the hand sanitizers were at every turn onboard. You could not get a luncheon plate unless you sanitized your hands. Of course this was important for the health and safety of all on board and we carefully obliged.

The first night someone actually vomited ON a passenger and ran away!! We were then told that we would NOT be stopping at Princess Cay because of the delay but were told that we would proceed to Curacao for a full days visit instead and given $50 credit for the change. We accepted this as a rarity and tried to make the best of it.

We celebrated a birthday that night and by the next morning the birthday girl had diarrhea and was then quarantined in her room for the duration. Again trying to make the best of a bad situation, we lounged around the pool and waited to get to port to spend the day on the island.
