Cruise ships chopped in half are a license to print money

Why are you being so skeptical? I know dozens of people that have gone cruising and I don't exactly belong to the stereotypical cruising crowd.

Assuming and a accusing a commenter is lying directly breaks HN guidelines.

I think you've got it 100% backwards, so don't be quoting Scripture at me like it means anything.

I know three people who've come home sick. He's the one being skeptical and quoting a well-known meme:

I was not referencing Arrested Development. Dozens is a term that was used to describe groups of people well before AD and the context here doesn't fit the meme at all.

I am not skeptical at all that you know three people who got sick on a cruise, but out of the 30+ million people who cruise in a year it's completely meaningless. A CDC study showed that only about 0.18% of cruisers get a stomach bug

I could easily come up with a list of 24+ people who have gone on a cruise and not gotten sick. Why are my dozens less valid than your 3? You can post your anecdata but don't get mad when someone counters it with their own.
