    Imagine what one case of stomach flu, 100 miles from port, would be like.
    Add a case of COVID for good measure.

    "The ship will have a crew of 2,350, and a capacity of 5,610
    passengers at double occupancy, or 7,600 passengers at maximum
    capacity." Wiki

    With that many people, there will be people infecting others.

    Btw, it won't be cheap to cruise on it when it first sails



    The inaugural cruise on Jan. 27 is actually more expensive but is
    mostly sold out. Balcony cabins start at $3,299 and suites at $13,958
    per person; no inside or outside rooms are available to book.

    As long as they don't start saying it's unsinkable...
