Cruise ship is stuck: This applies under labor law. Anyone who is sick will have their holiday clock stopped.
If you foresee that you will not be able to leave a cruise ship - even if you are healthy - you should contact your employer and ask for additional vacation days. Even a warning is possible, says labor law specialist Johannes Schipp. If employees are unable to return to work on time due to illness on the ship, that is their personal bad luck, says Schipp, who is a member of the German Bar Association.
