Oh! Is taking a cruise on a cruise ship called cruising? That didn’t even occur to me when I saw the title of your post. I thought of “cruising for burgers” and “cruising down the boulevard, looking for the Heart of Saturday Night” (Tom Waits) or “just cruising with your pals, looking for chicks.” If you are a gay guy, “cruising” has quite a different meaning! (Laughing)
As for cruise ships, I’ve just retired from a long career at a state university with 9,000 students. The school has gone to great lengths to test students for the virus, separates seats, requires masks, staggers class days. Still, between August 24 and September 17, 289 students and staff have tested positive. (I guess the staff are more careful—only three so far have contracted the disease, one a teacher.) this comes from too much partying close together off campus. So what happens on cruise ships? I would only fly right now in an emergency. I’ve canceled my yearly Thanksgiving week at a small, exclusive resort. No way I would go on a cruise ship these days.
