We took a Rhine River Cruise on UniWorld’s S.S. Antoinette in March. Best travel experience of our lives. The Antoinete has a passenger max of 154. I couldn’t imagine being on a cruise with thousands of passengers.
After taking a river cruise to Normandy with 120 passengers, we will never set foot on a jumbo cruise ship again.
Cruise lines are extremely thorough in vetting passengers. However, the crew which can approximately number the passenger capacity, mainly come from third world countries. Some of them muslim like Indonesia. And then there are the cargo handlers in US and foreign ports. Far too many to vet given that most of the jobs are menial. Sure presents a big-boom-boom target for the tangos.
