According to reports online, representatives of the cruise industry submitted a proposal to U.S. government officials that would prevent any passenger over the age of 70, or those with chronic medical conditions, from getting on a ship in order to limit the risk Coronavirus plays.
The proposal will be part of a meeting that cruise line officials will discuss during a meeting today at the White House.
Last week, the U.S. State Department warned the public not to go on a cruise, especially those that are older or have underlying health conditions. The Canadian government issued a similar warning as well.

He lives in Florida with his wife and two daughters, where he can be found on any given day trying to convince his wife they "need" to book another cruise.
