Right. This is an example of a known unknown risk, where though a risk is defined, there will always be "surprises" masked by the fog of war, for lack of a better phrase. So, you assess risk and try to make decisions with an acceptable margin of safety.

When the results are known, and given the overwhelming majority opinion that cruise trips should be avoided for the time being, I'm awfully curious to see how CA handles this situation. In light of all the criticism levied towards Japan, at least they can claim it caught them completely off guard.
