All these floating towns with so much proximity are prone to any fast spreading diseases like influenza, gastritis or any coronaviruses.

What will be interesting is how determined the media will be to track down and report on this vessel. Its every name change, refit or whatever. They will.

It is probably going to become a floating pariah.

Would you book a week or whatever on it?

More widely the global cruise business is going to take a huge whack.

It's an open goal for "terrorists" - no need for bombs just spread the rumour you have packed the aircon tubes with zillions of left- over facemasks, etc.

The industry is toast for at least the next five years.
