(65,001 posts)I've used that screenname since the AOL days.
The university assigned it.
I call myself GAC.
I get the Gilligan reference.
But, the "calling myself" is an insult.

No cruise ships.

"There are 53 passengers and 66 crew on board the small, yacht-like vessel, which was anchored off Union Island in the Grenadines at the time the announcement was made."

If this yacht-like ship can't cruise virus free, those really big ships just won't be able to sail safely again until this virus is gone.

(2,018 posts)Ok, not really. How are people so dumb to pay for a cruise and expect otherwise, right now?
