what happened with Capt. Brent Crozier? He was the USNavy captain who sounded the alarm about covid on his ship.

1. That will stick in my head.

'floating Petrie dishes (cruise ships)'

[We have friends who did 1 or 2 cruises per year before Covid]

2. Even if I had an all-expenses paid cruise, there is no way that I would take one now.

5. Back in March, hubs was trying to get me to agree to a Portugal/Spain river tour.

Those boats only carry about 175 people, max and were planning on implementing vaccine passport only cruises. Still, nope for me. We'd have to fly from a FL airport and those places are awfully crowded and unsafe, the airplanes themselves, going through crowded customs with thousands of people and who knows what conditions would be like there - no! Even with a really big discount - NO just NO.

My friend was telling me about river tours in NE. That is the only way I could see getting on a boat where I would drive to the port, not fly. And then it would have to be a vaccinated only trip and on a small boat with not a lot of passengers and one with an outside balcony.

I HATE ANTI-MASKERS and their selfish, entitled attitudes that are killing others and causing our country to step back from the brink of success.

7. I agree with everything you said, including the last sentence.

3. I never would, for a lot of reasons.

Always felt a bit uncomfortable in planes for similiar reasons. Even in business class seats.

6. I love cruising.

But I love the ridiculous things people say about them more.

8. Me too

Typically it’s people who never took a cruise. I go on one a year definitely and occasionally two if lucky that year. My last cruise was January 2020. Barely beat the corona standdown. I can’t wait to go on one again. 2021 will be the first year in 20 years to not take a cruise. Sucks!!!!! I’m counting on going on one in 2022 or two or three…..lol.

11. Reading comprehension is your friend. People here are talking about not wanting to

cruise during a PANDEMIC.
