So vaccinations don't help, and there is no way of really knowing if Covid is just another type of flu

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised people to avoid traveling on cruise ships regardless of their vaccination status "Even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants ... the virus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily between people in close quarters on board ships, and the chance of getting COVID-19 on cruise ships is very high, even if you are fully vaccinated and have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose." It came after several cruise ships, including ones operated by Royal Caribbean and Carnival, were forced to divert their trips due to COVID-19 outbreaks. The cruise lines require all staff and guests who are eligible for vaccines to show proof of vaccination before entering.
