Good luck finding passengers ...............
I would assume the virus itself might hide in the cracks
for a few months. After that, you only need one infected
passenger and in a couple of weeks you have hundreds,
then thousands.

Princess Cruise CEO tries his hand at damage control, none too

Since some Norovirus symptoms (fever, vomiting, diarrhea) mimic those of the >Kung Flu, I can image the panic when the next outbreak hits a thousand miles >from the nearest land...
Hell, the first person that sneezes will set off
a general panic - on a small, packed, floating
island. It will cause more deaths than C19.
The cruise industry should just take a years
vacation. They can do upgrades on the ships
during that time. In a year they will again have
mass quantities of eager passengers.
There must be some other uses for the things. Take
out the partitions between rooms and you would have
quite a lot of open space. Cargo, maybe even pods
full of oil.

The last few months haven't been kind to the cruise industry:

I get the feeling that once the public becomes wary of taking
cruises, a lot of these floating pleasure palaces are going to be
mothballed, and if they sit around abandoned and decaying long
enough, their next voyages will be to the breakers...

You could also dry-dock the things and turn them into
exotic housing or markets or entertainment areas.
In any case, the more recent ships ... they look more
like some big ugly hotel on a float. No aesthetic value
whatsoever. The QE-2 is a nice-looking ship.
