Republicans are destructive, ignorant morons. That is one of the many stupidest things they’ve done.

Eliminate the safety, people stop going. It becomes another mega-rich only activity. They never liked the every man doing the stuff they do. It surprises me cruise ships have lasted this long. Wait until airlines go under and the only way to fly is private jet. It's all about the privilege.

😡

The aim here seems to be to make noro viruses a feature for cruises from here on our.

So are cruise prices going to go down? 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

One of those "How it started/How it's going" stories. I'm too lazy for proper meme format, though. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/c...

They are floating Petri dishes Ewwww

maybe undeveloping nation might be a more appropriate term

Unraveling nation

It doesn't get more Demented and Sick than this!!!!... When are we going to 🛑 this madness, America???

Well this reporting from CBS will certainly distract me from the Colbert situation and make me a little anxious about the cruises I go on every month.

I mean, it's just more blatant corruption for the Trump admin. Two things can be true at once.

The USS MRSA now is ready for her maiden voyage.

USA 2025 ☠️💩⚫️

This won't end well.☹️

There is a lot of cheating and info held back from the cruise ships (whose only intention is to make $$$$). I had a bad experience and will never trust them again.

The term first world doesn't mean what people use it as meaning in the first place.

It’s a Cold War era term but most US people who aren’t academics use it to mean ‘highly developed.’ It is a bad move to lay off CDC inspectors for cruise ships & does represent a step backwards. This is another weird move that will hurt tourism/hospitality.

He's trying to kill us all...legally.

MAGA Members: cruise for as little as $10/day on the S.S. Pathogen.

So now going on a cruise is not only bad for the environment but also your health.

You never were. USA is just the richest third world country. Poor people are struggling with bad healthcare due to the high prices, low quality education and housing, lots of corruption in the top of government, very much violence in society and bad and broken infrastructure, you name it.

I guess there are no cruises in my future.

Guess I'll have to extend my 62-year streak of not going on cruises.

Well, that's not terrifying for the rest of us in the world, at all. Yikes.

🤮🤮

This is one reason i will not take a cruise. They are floating germ factories!

Because they're trying to fucking kill people on purpose. Do you get it? They only need to kill about 30% of us then the other 70% will be much more pliable.

Those floating petri dishes are getting ready to start being really fuzzy.

no surprise here who benefits? don’t vacation in a floating Petri dish

remember when the cruise ships brought covid in? How about Noro virus?

That label started peeling in 1979, when it became apparent that the ERA and all the work of the 60s was just going to be silently fought until they could get enough traction to go on the offensive. Less than forty years later, here. The only thing faster than our rise seemingly will be our fall.

There is nothing baffling about this. The cruise ship companies will continue to charge this fee and pocket it. It was a gift to the industry.

Year 6 of 'would never take a cruise '

They want dead people

Stay away from those horrific cattle boat petri dishes of percolating diseases from people from all over the world and any stop they make.

Any money in any place that they can grab, they are taking. Trump has deep pockets as do his kids and all the hangers on.

WTF! I am so sick of this!

Make America Sick Again, I guess

well on the upside more horrible infections for the sort of people who have enough money to waste on cruises

The cruise line is folding to the pressure of the government These people

This 'administration' just wants to kill people. That's the only explanation for all this - they just want to kill people. Good grief.

He wants to kill Americans. Bc trump hates Americans bc they never loved him. The ones that did or do are about to get a rude awakening

They don’t care about people. They only care about $$$$$ and power. That is all.

Yes indeed - that's all there is.

On our way to becoming a Soviet style toxic slag heap.

That seems to be one of the templates.

Bon voyage!

Keep away from US owned cruise ships. There are plenty of European ones to choose from.

This is exactly what #MassMurder by the #GOP #SenateGOP #HouseGOP #WhiteHouse and #DJT & #Cabinet looks like Intentional, across the entire US Population. He made a promise to Vlad &the billionaires who own him and he’s going to keep it

Another excellent reason to avoid cruise ships (cattle ships).

I said the cruise we took through the Panama Canal in April would be my last. And it will be.

Who wants to travel on a floating petri dish?

Idiots running the show. No one will want to cruise now.

it’s all so tragic!

Once you destroy the federal infrastructure, prop up the Billionaires and corporations, there are no guardrails to control them. Government will be for the sole purpose to control US.

Does this even benefit the cruise companies? It seems like the reputational damage from more outbreaks outweighs any short term benefit

✋Marked safe from EVER getting on a Cruz Ship

I wish this weren’t from CBS

How to Kill a Tourist Industry 101.

He’s already destroying it in the country; why not take out the cruise industry? I’m sure DeathSantis is fine with that, right??

Considering he outlawed covid protocols for cruises in early 2021, Ronny will have no issues. Cruise lines themselves, however….

Yeah. It’s not a good look to have paying customers dropping like flies. People tend to remember that..

Am I the only one who thinks these little once a month Saturday protests aren’t cutting it. We need to be in the streets everyday en mass

Another reason to never take a cruise.

Example #..... a lot. It's just a lot....of things you would only do as an administration if you were directly aiming to damage the country with no other explanation being really even possible.

Every Cruise Ship, is a Petri Dish for Diseases.

I'm surprised @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy actually ran this story. I guess they need to fire Tony Romo now

Cancel reservations. Not safe to fly OR to cruise.

📌

Hope ports of call (like my home city) refuse disembarking passengers from the floating petri dishes.

*Peach Tree Dishes.

The Gazpacho Police will inspect the floating Peach Tree Dishes and then hold the passengers under Marshall Law. MTG will implement the program.

ANDDDD... Of COURSE The Cruise Ship Industry will Continue to Enforce its OWN Rigid Sanitation Guidelines!!! NOT!!....

Fvvvvvvk! Calling my travel agent 🤬

Cruise ships are petri dishes that everyone is trapped on. This will just make it even worse.

No cruses for moi, ever! I suspect that Donald has zero $$ invested in the Cruise Ship Industry.

If that is true then rehire the people and the hell with the CDC

The COVID Boat Soon to be making another run

Even more reason to *never* go on a cruise ship.

Have the Maggots go on a Trump Cruise and let there be a outbreak and the ship is denied to enter any port.

Congrats. Your airspace is definitely unsafe, waters now too :/

RFK JR. Sec. of Health & Human Services wants to Make America Healthy Again yet lays inspectors off, is against vaccinations, & food safety guidelines. Our country is global laughing stock & punchline. This administration is filled with the most unqualified & dangerous idiots imaginable.

Another stupid move by the trump administration, similar to cutting the Park Services which bring in a lot of money and have also been cut.

When will we finally get it- the Trump regime is out to kill as many of US as they can if it means freeing up money for oligarchs Trump has shown his true self by dismissing his faithful followers as fools and saying he doesn’t need them America, our lives are expendable

Sorry to inform you, but you stopped being a first world country after 1945. That’s when the corporations bought you. You’ve been a shithole ever since.

Edge lord here

I agree.

There goes the cruise ship business.

So, the Trump regime is making cruise ship lines pay for a position that they’re not providing. Seems like theft.

The cruise ship industry doesn’t want to pay the inspection fees. With this administration they are getting away with it.

If we don’t monitor it, we never have to fix it. If we die on a cruise, that’s eliminating some of the strain on Social Security & Medicare.

What could (will) possibly go wrong?

It was never about saving taxpayer dollars or eliminating waste, fraud, or abuse. It was and is ALWAYS about removing anything that impedes the ability of billionaires and corporations to do whatever the hell they want.

And retaliation for those that dared to smite swollen one or the k addict.

Madness

Having worked on cruise ships, do Norwegian or Disney only. Fanatical USPH standards and their own inspectors.

Stuck and going nowhere is what "they" want

😡😡😡

Nothing says don’t go on a US cruise line like this…

Yeah the potential for food borne illness & probably things like Legionnaire’s on a ship makes this a very strange decision to me.

Well that's because you care about things like 'peoples health' and the only thing they care about it money. But when you look at it from the standpoint of "This costs them money" then it makes so much sense. Their Dollars > Your Wellbeing

Alaska cruises = Covid

More likely norovirus.

When I was in Alaska last year, they were a herd of COVID infected people. It was gross. No masks. Just yuck.

He is being paid off to destroy us one video clip, one letter or one bit of evidence at a time.

Doesn't Disney own most cruise companies operating in the US? Oh, and if you want an explanation it's called lobbying -- aka corruption.
