The Mercury
In the secret dark corridors of Florida’s state capital, lobbyist and politicians alike hire rogue operatives to contaminate the Celebrity Cruises’ cruise ship, Mercury. “That’ll teach them to abandon our port of calls in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Cape Canaveral.” This has the makings of a great novel… fact or fiction???
ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) captioned the story, “Sickest Ship at Sea – Can Cruise Ship Be Cured?” and explains how norovirus can thrive on cruise ships. The Mercury has been hit with three continuous outbreaks of sickness which has plagued hundreds of passengers.
The Mercury returned to Charleston following that report. The CDC issued a “no sail” advisory for the sick ship. “Why do you keep on letting people on this ship when people continuously get sick?” asked one passenger.
Meanwhile, back in Florida, some big money was being deposited into overseas “numbered” accounts. The damage was done.
Could I play next to Sandra Bullock when you sell the movie rights?
The count was about 3 people on the latest cruise.
