Cruise Liners are ok and people get the same thing on them that you would if you travelled to a foreign city for the first time and had to 'up-grade' your immune system to fit in.
I went to Kathmandu and experienced all the gastro crap routine.
It's just the idea that if you are infected you can't flee and spread it further afield - like what you could do in a city or town. So in essence - it's contained on a ship. So that's a plus.
Cruise Liners are the first 'external' casualty outside of Wuhan itself - which was far worse. Cruise Ships are not to blame. I think Airlines spread the virus more and further afield.
The Spanish flu 1918 to 1920 was spread by ships.
It killed over 40 million people -
some say over 100 million people.
That’s how people travelled mainly back then, by ship only.
It was war time also, so more soldiers were infected thus travelling by ship to other ports.
It spread a lot slower back in that era, unlike today, everything is spread so quickly, mainly via flights. Flight paths from China everywhere!
In 1918 battle ship travel helped the infected soldiers spread it to many ports in wartime, but 2019-2020 airplanes did it better, faster, with more widespan coverage, from Wuhan civilians in peace time.
