Cruise workers reveal how they feel about working on a ship after the coronavirus spread to more than 700 people on the Diamond Princess

A bar waiter for Cunard Line, which is owned by Carnival Corp., said the cruise line is handling the coronavirus well, taking precautions like avoiding certain ports.

"It has impacted us as everyone else, however Cunard is dealing really well with that," the employee said. "They know what to do."

"I'm a bit worried about it, but we are sailing on the Caribbean Sea, so I think we are safe," said an entertainer for TUI Cruises.

The entertainer said his ship has adopted more aggressive sanitation procedures, though it seems like most crew members are not concerned about the coronavirus.

An actress working for TUI Cruises said she has been comforted by her ship's upgraded sanitation procedures. But she said she hopes the virus does not spread to her ship and force everyone to remain in their rooms.

A quarantine would be "horrible," she said.
