” One thing they did was added in a mask policy for people onboard except when they are eating or drinking. That alone will discourage some people from going on that Norwegian ship. - Tom “

Absolutely - what’s the point in paying that much to torture yourself?

Isn't the author a pro-cruise influencer?

He sets up the hypothesis: "Why 17 cases of COVID-19 on a cruise ship shouldn’t be a huge cause for concern..."

His conclusion is: "So, yes, 17 passengers and crew tested positive for COVID-19. But that’s 17 out of 3,200. In other words, only about half a percent of people on the ship (about 1 in 200) tested positive."

Shouldn't the point of it all be that there shouldn't be ANY cases on a 100% vaccinated cruise line like Norwegian?

Isn't the author glossing over that major point?

If the cruise lines go from total panic over a few cases to shrugging off a few cases, then why have the 2-day testing window, masks everywhere, and 100% vaccinated passengers?

Going on “cruises” isn’t normal. It is a distinct sign to predators that you don’t know what to do with money.

Of course, the author is pro cruise.

The problem with the experimental drugs is as vaccines- THEY DON'T WORK.

That is the reason I am still unvaccinated against covid.

I got a vaccine two weeks ago, but it was for TETANUS. -Tom

I'm with you.

If it was a choice between the vaccine and cruising, I gave up cruising.

The only vaccine I would have considered taking if I absolutely had to was the J&J one, but CVS has discontinued offering it, so it's the mRNA vax or nothing.

I chose nothing.

Excerpt From trvelpulse.com- NOVEMBER 04, 2021
A total of 1,359 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported on cruise ships sailing from the United States between June 26 and October 21, based on the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Of the nearly 1,400 positive results, which include both passengers and crew members, 49 required hospitalization and 38 prompted medical evacuations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tom here- The way Norwegian put themselves in the covid spotlight was by reporting every covid outbreak onboard.
If the outbreak is below a certain percentage, you don’t have to broadcast it. -Tom
