Missed opportunity to consider the Comprehensive Captive Covid Cruise with Crazy Cantankerous Captain because, as you know, sailing the Seven Seas should be on everyone's bucket list.

Apart from how questionable it is to go on a cruise in the midst of pandemic, cruise lines are reprehensible for multiple reasons.

A few fun facts:
Legally, cruise ships are permitted to dump food waste, cargo residue (whatever that is), cleaning agents, and animal carcasses in the ocean. That's what they can do legally. Cruise company's have been fined over 100M for illegally dumping in the oceans…and that's just the ones that were caught.

Carnival cruises in Europe emits more sulfur dioxide than all of Europe's cars.

Passengers have few protected rights on a ship. Carnival's fine print says they can enter your room "with or without notice" and have "the right to enter and search Guest's stateroom".

If you are victim of a crime in international waters, good luck trying to get justice in the American court system.

Cruise companies exploit legal loopholes where their liners are flagged for underpaying or avoiding taxes and under paying staff. Workers on ships can work 70-90 hours a week for months for as little as $500/mo.

SAT word of the day: Fact. Look it up. I'd ask if you want references but you are clearly the type that wants to pray the covid away and embrace big lies. Also how exactly are you a member of this forum since 2004 and have contributed a sum total of 2 threads with TU's? LOL!

I mean. That's most risk you take with vacationing right now.

The way I look at it. Cruise lines require vaccines and testing 2 days prior to travel with them. As far as low risk getaways, they're one of the safest options you've got.
