The most vocal are the long time, older cruisers, who are demanding 100% assurances of safe cruising. Those younger cruisers are willing to take their chances with the virus and are not interested in cruises with masks, social distancing, and no parties at night.

That will be a problem since myself as an old duffer with comorbidities, I am not interested in a cruise with masks, social distancing, no buffet , covid tests, restrictive shore excursions etc. -Tom

If anyone cares to look at bookings for 2022 - most of the high-end lines are selling out their posted cruises.

It seems the higher IQ travelers have never demanded "100% assurance" of safe cruising and are not falling for the hysteria of the silly wagging tongue crowd.
