We were prepared to deal with a possible situation on\nCOVID-19 on our cruise vacation with Princess. \nHere is couple of thing we saw and did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first 2 days,  it\nwas very quiet.  COVID-19 was not\nmentioned on any notification.  We were\ndoing our best to protect us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, we disinfected all doors, switches, TV remote and phone\nwhen we entered the stateroom. We also got our pharmacy in the stateroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cancelled the shore excursion to avoid the bus situation and did not attend any big show and event.\u00a0 Exercise at the gym when people were going to islands was one way to maintain social distancing. Another way to keep distance from other passenger is to use stairway instead of elevator. We have to remind ourselves not to touch anything. So we used paper or glove on handrails. Sometimes we took a walk around outside deck 7 or read books at stateroom balcony to get fresh air and Vitamin D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On day 3, Horizon Cafe buffet staff started to wear gloves, handed out silverware\/plates to passengers, and put food on your plates.\u00a0 It was good so I didn’t have to use napkin on serving spoons after many passengers touched the spoons already.\u00a0 Thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March 11, Day\n6, WHO declared the COVID19 outbreak a pandemic. 
\n
\nMarch 13, Day 8, President Trump declared National Emergency<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around March\n14, Day 9:  We received a long message from\nJan Swartz, President of Princess Cruise. \nI quoted one paragraph of the message as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the\ninterest of doing what’s right and upholding our core values, I regretfully am\nannouncing a 60 day pause of our Princess global ship operations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was touched\nby the her words, transparency and accountability.  I was waiting for such decision. Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
