And the above is exactly the problem the cruise companies are dealing with

Until countries can get away from the following...........

"I don;t want your dirty Covid passengers polluting my shores".

I think that any international travel is going to be beset with issues

If the official national attitude mirrors my quote in some way, I think the Cruise companies will have a long way to go before setting their sights on sailing again.
