The ship name “Queen Mary” is taken, but Princess still has the chance to call this floating mall and casino the “Typhoid Mary”.

“It was kind of disturbing that there wasn’t more widespread announcements about that…”

It was kind of disturbing that you thought it a good idea to go get on a crowded cruise ship in the middle of a pandemic when cases are spiking, and now you want to act like they were the only ones who did something wrong.

I mean…ever since early 2020, this whole debacle was fueled by folks who couldn’t let COVID regulations get in the way of their good time.

It would be pure theater to stop the positives (or anyone else) from disembarking, when San Francisco is averaging a thousand new cases a day all by itself.

I SUSPECT BUT CANNOT PROVE: the people who’d take a cruise (and especially those that would take it now) are the same type of people who would fake their vaccination status.
