At 7 minutes they interview a member of the crew and hide him in the shadows. But then at 7:03 he shows up working, it's obvious he's the one being interviewed. LMAO.
Anyway, good documentary. Bad plans executed by the cruise companies, but let's be honest, no one knew what to do at the time. Not even the World Health Organization knew what to do.

Very good
Good documentary
This documentary had the right mix of archival footage and interviews. A wide variety of passengers were interviewed, and several of their stories were interesting.
I went into this feeling very little sympathy for the passengers who chose to take a cruise just as the Pandemic was gearing up, but I softened my stance somewhat as the documentary progressed. People were caught up in something unprecedented, and once you were on the boat, you were already in too deep.
From watching this film, you get a good sense of how bizarre everything was in the world at that time. The only thing I think they could have improved was the feeling of danger. They recited statistics of the number of deaths from these cruises, but a lot of the film was a bit too lighthearted in tone to really convey that sense of doom.
