Of course cruise lines are safer than theme parks. I’d even argue that at this point cruise ships are safer than flying in airplanes. Most require 100% or near 100% vaccination for anyone 12 or over and they require testing within 48 out of debarkation for those vaccinated and PCR testing for kids under 12. They test the crews at least weekly. The airlines don’t do any of that. Sure you’ll see news stories where someone is tested positive on a cruise ship but on airlines, you don’t even find out if you caught covid for days after the flight.
