I’ve been on a couple of cruises, but have had no interest with all of the illness related issues over the last 10 years.

Oh, gmafb. Ships are dumping ballast all over the planet and they’re worried about a supposed ‘fungus’ which would propagate with marine life migration (whales, etc.)?

“Is this really a “thing?” Could I use this as an excuse to deny my mother-in-law entry to our home?”

Just tell her she needs a few months in drydock while her bow and everything below the waterline is scraped, resurfaced and repainted. Tell her she may want to get the engines checked as the exhaust seems to be running a bit “rich.”
If she gets upset just explain you’re looking out for her best interests, good SIL that you are.

I never thought of biofoul. I always thought the biggest concern was the Norovirus.
