So the cruise line will have no idea that a passenger who appears healthy is in fact a "Covid-19 Mary" spreading virus throughout a cruise ship.

The ship knew that woman has respiratory illness (can't confirm for covid-19 because the lack of test kit) for days and also a few of the crew members have it. They just didn't tell anyone about it until the passengers got off. They only sent out emails to inform the passengers a day later.
