Know the facts .... you are saying 1 in every 20 people WILL GET COVID.. I have no idea where you got those stats from....

According to the CDC----the COVID infection rate among those fully vaccinated is 0.008%. Actually, the CDC reports 5,814 breakthrough cases out of 85 million vaccinated, which by math is 0.00694%

"Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 5,814 breakthrough cases out of more than 85 million people fully vaccinated in the U.S. Public health experts said those numbers show how well the vaccine protects you"

Translation: Only 1 in 13,000 people who were fully vaccinated got COVID, and probably fewer than that could "pass it on" which means even on a Mega-Ship like oasis class, it is ONE person in every TWO fully booked cruises. And they probably won't even know they had it!
