Wow - very sad. Don't get me wrong but communications on a cruise ship is very good. Every TV had reports of Italy, China and the virus before March 20. Wow what was Carnaval thinking -- allowing operations to go on. Why did a couple have to ask in writing to get off the ship. You can leave at any port - don't need the Captain's approval. I am truly sorry this happened to such a young man.
