Life sucks for them in a very 2020 way. All the free wifi and TV they can take. Air conditioned space. Hot and cold running water. Food brought to their room. A bed to sleep in. There are billions of people on the planet who would consider that a huge upgrade.
But these people can't suck it up for a few weeks? Fine, let 'em off the ship. A hundred miles out.
Don't know that I agree with this. We went on a cruise last year, and even had a balcony. But there was very little room to move around in our cabin. If I had to guess, there was probably only about 30-40 square feet of floor space (by that I mean space not occupied with furniture where you could actually stand), which isn't much, particularly for three people. It would definitely be a hardship to be confined to quarters for two weeks, even with a balcony.
