This incident certainly seems to validate that statement, alnd thee are many other problems that result form packing a lot of people into a relatively small space. This is why I prefer a nice relaxing wilderness backpack or climb for a truly relaxing vacation.
I don't mind the dangers of a cruise ship, and my guess is that the actual risks are probably statistically small. I like the sea. But I'm more worried about having no escape from the 3,999 other passengers in what amounts to a hotel. That seems like a potential hell without even a disaster.
