The Cruise ships are brimming Petri Dishes of disease without needing a Covid excuse.
I’ve only been on one cruise - from Long Beach down to Mexico for a weekend. We never got off the boat.
My wife’s father used to describe cruises as follows: A floating Motel 6 with an all you can eat Denny’s attached.
“The Cruise ships are brimming Petri Dishes of disease without needing a Covid excuse.”
No, they aren’t. That tired trope has been disproved so many times. Look it up. They are far safer than eating in any restaurant, and cleaner than your kitchen or bathroom.

I’ve noticed that sort of comment is usually from someone who’s never been on a cruise or not many.
I’ve been on no less than 6 and all were for 7 days and I’ve not once walked off a ship with as much as a sniffle.
Just out of curiosity how many cruises have you been on?
“The Cruise ships are brimming Petri Dishes of disease without needing a Covid excuse.”
Yet for decades 99% of cruisers have lived on to tell about it, finally croaking by natural causes years later.
People get sick on cruises.
People get sick at work.
People get sick at church (where our Covid came from, I think.)
People who live life get sick.
YOU OBVIOUSLY don’t travel much, do you??
If you could SEE WHAT THEY Clean and HOW THEY Clean , you would CHANGE YOUR LITTLE mind!!!
YOUR house and MY HOUSEis not anywhere near as clean as Celebrity ships!
So are schools.
Disembarked today from Carnival Liberty cruise at Port Canaveral. This was my 5th cruise since the pandemic arrived from China. And 40th cruise since I began cruising in 1988.
In my personal experience, I have gotten intestinal issues a few times from RESTAURANT meals. Never once I got sick from any cuisine from cruises. Not only I never got sick on any of my 40 cruises, I ALWAYS come back stronger because the food is highly nutritious and I have the opportunity to walk a lot and use the nice gym on every ship.
Last 4 cruises all had exemplary hygiene protocols, much beyond anything anything land based restaurant have. I am hoping to live long enough to do 100 cruises. Must speed up cruise schedules because I will soon burn 82 candles.
