1. 3200 people in a confined space for a week during a pandemic. What could go wrong?

Can't believe the insanity. Surely there are plenty of other ways to entertain yourself and not expose yourself to that much risk.

2. NCL says everybody is 100% vaccinated, so there is little risk.

Maybe somebody got a breakthrough infection during the port of call in Honduras, where the vaccinated rate is 39%.
