It is a solvable problem. The ships can be made safe. Millions love cruising, you make it safe we will come.

From the article: Winning Public Trust Even so, it may take a lot of convincing to get new cruisers aboard. One group the lines can count on? Veteran cruisers.

“Our members have been exchanging feedback with one another,” says Colleen McDaniel, the editor in chief of the popular website Cruise Critic. “According to a recent forum poll among members, 66 percent report that they’ll continue to cruise the same as always. An additional 10 percent said they’d cruise more than ever,” she said. -Tom

You really can’t make them safe. The very nature of communicable disease and a densely populated isolated “building” means cruise ships are basically schools. 1 sick person enters, dozens leave. But it’s a risk folks accept because even then the odds are against 1 individual person (ie you) getting sick. Give it a year, it’ll be back to normal.
