I have heard that this restriction is designed to prevent passengers bringing the virus back on to the ship (rather than taking it off the ship into the local community) but one would think (with everyone fully vaccinated) that using lateral flow tests before reboarding would suffice (if the cruise lines really want to lift the restriction!)

Since cruise lines typically mark up tours 100% they will want to do this for our "protection". They already use scare tactics that we will miss the ship if we go off on our own. Just use common sense and get back well before sail time.
Would much rather go on a tour in a van with say 15 people than a bus with 50 taking forever to unload and than load passengers.
