They're serious about shore excursions

The difference is that if you fly in and catch the virus and then go home and infect others, it will not make headlines.

 

If you are on a cruise ship and contract the virus in a port while on your own and several days later infect others on the ship, it will be headline news and might cause another pause in cruising.

It doesn’t make headlines because it isn’t traced to the flight. 2000 passengers quarantined and denied port entry for 3 weeks is the top story.  The cruise lines have a lot more to lose than the airlines. It’s going to be a slow start just getting people who enjoy cruising to come back. If what happened in Feb happens again it will take the cruise industry down. People are still flying during the pandemic because it’s an essential means of travel and the least likely way of being exposed unless you drive.

 

If it were 1917 during the Spanish Flu transportation by sea would be essential travel.

You would struggle with that at the  moment,  Brits cant even do that 🙂 

Fortunately, May 2021 is not " at the moment".

Also there are some types of alcohol that you can't find at home. Hennessy White comes to mind.

 

Hennessy White..what is it like ? 

. never seen or tried it... generally   XO  is my cognac....

have tried Paradis... but don't like it as much as XO.......also too dear

My son brought it back from the Caribbean. I couldn't find it anywhere here. That's not to say it's not available in other parts of the US.

Here is a description

Subtle floral aromas on the nose. The palate is fruity with a delicate, intricate character. The finish is lingering, smooth and light.
