Ha ha, ‘Sea Cruise’. I see where you’re going with this!

If you take precautions. Wash your hands. Use the hand sanitizer. Then you shouldn't have any problems. I've been on seven.
I gotta get me one of them thar cruizes, they sound like a hoot! Hint: divest all travel stocks with a cruise component.
“Vomiting voyagers: Cruise ship returns to US from Caribbean after 300 passengers suffer gastroenteritis”
sounds like a norovirus outbreak, which happens on cruises more often than people realize ...
Quoting Airplane for a cruise ship discussion? Surely you can't be serious!
"Don't call me Shirley!"
I remember that movie! I also remember the movie from the 1957 that plot was based on,the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!
