Adult website CamSoda’s vice president says his company is trying to ease boredom for impacted passengers on cruise ships quarantined due to coronavirus.
The Miami-based porn site, which last month
tried to offer complimentary webcams to the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, is now offering to ease boredom for two quarantined vessels with free webcam sessions.
The offer was extended via press release from executives at CamSoda and was directed at the 7300 passengers who have been impacted by the coronavirus
outbreak on the Diamond Princess and World Dream cruise ships, which are docked in Japan and outside Hong Kong.
“They are not only dealing with the fear of infection, which is terrifying, but boredom,” said CamSoda vice president Daryn Parker.
“We like cruises just as much as the next guy, but without activities or human interaction, the boredom must be crippling.”
He continued, “In an effort to keep their minds off of the coronavirus and to help with the boredom, we’re offering passengers and crews the ability to have fun in a safe and controlled environment with camming.”

The 35 quarantined passengers who showed symptoms of the virus on the World Dream were disembarked after testing negative four days into the ship’s quarantine.
The Diamond Princess, on the other hand, has been under quarantine since Tuesday after an 80-year-old passenger from Hong Kong tested positive after the ship disembarked. The number of confirmed coronavirus cases on the ship has jumped up to 135.
That number includes 11 Australians and at least two dozen Americans.
For webcam session redemption, CamSoda is requiring quarantined passengers and crew members to send a copy of their travel documents via email in exchange for 1000 free tokens, which can be used to pay for livestreams with porn stars.
However, it is not clear whether quarantined passengers will be able to take advantage of CamSoda’s offer.
Fox News reached out to Princess Cruises to gain clarity on whether adult websites are accessible on the company’s on-ship internet network but did not immediately hear back at the time of publication.
Princess Cruises parent company, Carnival Corporation & PLC, does not allow access to several adult websites on its Carnival Cruise Line.
“All internet usage subject to Carnival Corporation’s standard policies, which may limit browsing of sites identified as containing mature or violent content,” Carnival’s Wi-Fi terms of service says.
This limitation will more than likely not be imposed on passengers that have their own cellular service or internet provider for the duration of their trip.
Carnival’s stock has continually dropped since February 6. This news also comes a week after United Airlines announced it will
work to limit porn access on its flights after ending up on the National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s “2019 Dirty Dozen List”, which recognises the act as a form of sexual harassment.
