cruise ship returns to port Canaveral with over 500 norovirus victims who will get refunds, but i'm sure lawyers and public relations types are already hard at work to blame some unkwown passenger rather than the ship's lettuce, etc.

, no matter where claimants live or bought tickets, only venue for suits is Miami


Report I saw said all pax will get full refunds, not just those who got sick. It's a huge ship, think we're talking around 6000 people.

They returned a day early. I suspect the entire crew is scrubbing the ship stem to stern so they can get back out.

I wonder if those inspectors are on furlough. Seems more likely than not, since both the CG and FDA are restricted. Be interesting to see if they can turn it around in time for 5pm departure tomorrow (scheduled).
Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has

yes, refunds for all. ship skipped most of its scheduled route.
Even in normal times many cruise ships play hide and seek with the inspectors who have taken to using food dyes to make under refrigerated food unusable.

in previous incidents, clever passengers stole rolls of toilette paper promptly.

Anybody see the Gillette ad that causing
so much trouble? Like a TV ad is going
to make change men into weak puke wusses.
I don't know who put this crap together,
but I'm guessing a feminist is behind it.

Apparently, everybody. I saw the story
in five different places.

Apparently the players loved the fast
food Trump provided.

Oh my dear god, please stop. Now
Kamala Harris is making music
videos to 'connect' with her 'people'.

First we had Fauxcahantas drinking a
beer, then we had Beto getting his
teeth cleaned, now we have Harris
'funking' out. She's got my vote..
Shudder.

I agree
When I eat out, I could care less about the politics of the Restaurant owner
If the food is good, then its good. That's all that matters

Its just like Eastwood
I could care less about his politics
He puts out a good movie, I'll watch it
