Is Disney the only cruise line requiring testing at port?

I’m only going by the definition of “exposure” by the hospital where I work: 15+ minutes without PPE within 6’ of someone.
Using that definition, I wasn’t exposed to anyone during dinner.

Yes, that definition works for contact tracing. But covid doesn’t magically stop at 6 ft which is one reason indoor dining is one of the highest risk activities, regardless of distance. Anyways it seems we are not going to agree on this so no need to discuss further.

It's confusing to me that folks are saying they would not sail if there were no testing requirements. In theory, I get it, BUT, that begs other questions to be asked... did everyone get tested before you went grocery shopping? Did everyone get tested before your kids went to school each day? Did everyone get tested before you got on that flight? Did everyone get tested before you checked into the hotel the night(s) before you disembarked? The point is, we are all around potential exposures day-in and day-out, this would be no different, as someone could have been exposed on the plane or at the port itself that day and they wouldn't test positive right away.

This is a good point but all of these activities only last a few hours vs a cruise that lasts several days or weeks and is a more confined space, with the exception of the airplane. Assuming they are truthful, a plane’s air is fully exchanged every 4 minutes or so, which is not a claim made by any cruise line.

Closing this thread as its moved away from the original topic and turned into (albeit friendly) covid debate.
