I would have cancelled the cruise vacation in the first place if this virus thing was around.
But if I was stuck there, the cruise probably would have refunded all our tickets and etc. plus times and days killed there. If they don't, then it is what it is. Complaining won't really get us anywhere.
The diplomatic approach, but they are currently passengers stuck on the ship.

What's happening on the cruise ship is a good reminder that you should always be prepped if possible. Keep emergency kits at home, in your car, at work, while traveling, etc. Due to the quarantine, resupply to the cruise ship (or hotel) may be delayed. When bottled water runs out you may have to boil tap water with the coffee maker.
Due to space and weight restrictions while traveling, you have to careful with what products to carry. For emergency water filters, products such as "Lifestraw Go" ($36) and "Sawyer Personal water filtration bottle" ($38) have filter with 0.2 (Lifestraw) and 0.1 (Saywer) micron pores + water bottle. The bottle itself can also be used to store additional supplies such as light/glow stick, small flashlight, band aids, alcohol wipes, etc. when not in use.
If you want something better, the LifeSaver water purifier products from UK cost $100-$200 and are equipped with 0.015 micron filters. Note replacement filters cost $100 and have 10 year shelf life.
For emergency rations, due to the short duration of the trip, protein bars and snack bars will probably suffice.

Had to use Google Translate but it appears that this funeral home in Hubei is cremating 316 bodies a day and can?t keep up! The CCP is obviously hiding the true death count. If this virus hits Beijing, game over!

With so many of the Chinese industries shut down... there may be an understatement of how bad this is in China.
I was joking about this before but maybe this is the event that will take down housing.

The cruise ship is a good example of best intentions making it worse. You enclosed people in a petri dish with ill. The Chinese quarantines are the same. Basically its like being closed up in a house with family members that have the flu.

If it ain?t right, you have to complain. Maybe you will let them walk over you, but not me. Money is worthless if you are stuck on the ship with the virus.
So what would you do if that happened to you?
