I suspect that the probability that the Delta variant arrived on our shores from a cruise ship is exceeding low. Many more people travel by air than cruise ships. The person sitting next to you on an airplane is a foot away from you.

However, I can't get it out of my mind that COVID came from the cruise ships onto the U.S. mainland. The crew and passengers visit various ports of call around the world and they pick stuff up along the way. It's actually quite logical, but I'm just saying for those who fear contact with the virus in any form should not cruise.
