The ship is described as a"religious retreat ministering the most advanced level of spiritual counselling" in Scientology One case of measles has been confirmed aboard the ship, which has been docked in a port near the island nation's capital, Castries, since Tuesday , according to the island's chief medical officer, Dr Merlene Frederick-James.
"The confirmed case as well as other crew members are presently stable but remain under surveillance by the ship's doctor," Dr Frederick-James said in a video statement, noting the incubation period of measles is 10 to 12 days before symptoms appear.The restriction came as the number of measles cases in

spreading the word and spreading the pox......old missionary technique
Where's your Messiah now?
There will be a movie about this in ten years with a washed up Travolta.
but wouldn't Thetans be immune to Wordly disease? Oh well, back to the e-meter!!!
Trust in *our* god to protect you...err, normal service will resume... sometime
When devotees can afford a cruise on a ship this has to be proof positive that Scientology is a business not a religion. Think of the good work the Salvation Army could do if they had the money that was spent on this cruise!
A problem to be sure but it is sadly less damaging and infectious than the derangement of the cultists onboard.
I mean, I don't wish disease on anyone, but...
Ummmm, not measles - neanderthalic lunacy more like it.
