In situations where I've talked directly to the port authorities, after they have understood, it has not become an issue.

Several ships have (the outbreaks), but it's not a cruise ship problem. It's a people problem.

It has to be addressed immediately. It should not take four days. Then it becomes a health problem.

We suspect that people are probably coming on board with the virus. On a cruise ship, people are out and about in very public areas, and so we have this depositing of the virus on various surfaces that then would be easily picked up by others.

We strongly feel this is predominantly person-to-person, spread through hand-to-mouth activity, and all this makes it a little more difficult to control.

It looks as though there's been a change, but two points do not make a trend. We will have to calculate rates, using 100,000 passenger days, in order to really effect a comparison. We will be doing that.
