One thing about the Covid 19 test is that 1) false positives are a well known and documented issue 2) Coronaviruses in general, not just Covid 19 can get you a positive test.

So you could have an outbreak of a cold virus on the ship and, whether it was Covid-19 or not, you could still potentially wind up quarantined in your cabin for weeks on end.

Maybe that is risk worth taking to you. As for me, I refuse to cruise on any ship or go to any place that mandates the vaccine.
The risk of having a Covid outbreak is less if everyone one board is vaccinated. That is how I see it and yes, I will take that risk. I most certainly will not cruise with known un-vaccinated people. The risk of Covid outbreak is much higher among un-vaccinated and the risk of needing to hospitalize people is greater.
