Omicron Variant Fears Cause Cruise Ships to Be Turned Away From Scheduled Ports

One passenger on a cruise ship described her trip as feeling like a "superspreader event," saying that she felt she was exposed to a lot of people who weren't wearing masks. "It just felt like a petri dish," she says of the cruise, with ship staff spotted in Hazmat suits. She says the ship was even turned away at a Caribbean port. The cruise line says that "a small number onboard were isolated due to a positive COVID test."
