Even pre-Covid, you should have been concerned. They’re petri dishes of illnesses with little regard for passenger safety.

Yes, cruises are lame. Go on any other kind of trip.

Yes because cruises are gross and middle class fancy.

Not if you’re worried about Covid

Yes. My parents just went on a trip to Greece (including a small cruise as part of it) and now they both have Covid. And they were the best at masking in their group. And one of them is stuck in Greece because they tested positive on the pre-travel test

Totally disagree. Unless you’re immunocompromised or have other comorbidities, it’s no different than a land based vacation. I’m planning a 2 week cruise this summer. Assess your own risk and plan accordingly.

Except there is always a CDC advisory about cruises even when it’s not a pandemic. Not fun to spend your trip with the norovirus either

Yes. A floating Petro dish with track suits and amateurs. They were disgusting before the pandemic.

Ok, but how much worse is this compared to a place like vegas?

I’m only asking from the covid perspective cause I don’t want to end up stuck in my cabin for a week.

I’ve been on many cruises. Never gotten sick.

This isn’t about whether it’s a good vacation. Simply whether covid is enough of a concern. Saw a number of ships with lockdowns lately.

Cruises are boomer-core 😹

Jk fellow millennial 😊

I am going on a cruise later this year, not my first choice of a vacation but should be fun! Enjoy yours too 👍

If you enjoy being in constant motion, have fun. Some of us need Dramamine for that extended time frame.
