To be fair, you had already edited when I saw your post, but if the only edit was to add the sarcasm emoji, I don't get why so many people are having trouble with it.
I had a similar reaction to the posts before yours ... but I did assume I must be taking them wrong. When I got to yours I figured you just replied with what I was initially thinking.
I had earlier today, on hearing a news report about one of these ships, thought "wow, how awful to go on a cruise and end up trapped on a death ship". Yeah, "death ship" is hopefully overblown, but if I were trapped on one I think I would be feeling that way.
I'm not a fan of the cruise industry so wouldn't likely be in that situation. But I can't blame other people for enjoying life when they don't know the harms some of these things cause. And, if this virus becomes a real epidemic almost all of us are going to be affected by it. So we'd better think charitably towards those who face it first.
