The family would like to go on a cruise on the enchantment of the seas to Bermuda/Bahamas out of Baltimore. We are all vaccinated and will get a booster if applicable before travel date. I have been reading up on cruises in the news and seeing the following. Would like to hear thoughts
(1) some fine print on Bermuda cruises...I assume this will be a requirement (not optional):

(2) im seeing recent news about Princess and Carnival having outbreaks, but not so much RC. Anyone have a serious outbreak on an RC cruise (especially EOTS) that is not being reported? Was it handled well? Did it really suck to be isolated? What happens if they run out of isolation rooms?
(3) Would they leave you at a port if you try to check on the ship and have covid? Just read about a couple in spain that was dumped in Spain....horrible story

(4) If there is a large outbreak, what is the policy for people who arent sick? Will they shut down the pool, entertainment, etc?
(5) I read somewhere (cant find the source) that there are fewer evening shows/events. We have been accustomed to and my wife loves the cruises because of the really nice magic shows, music performances, and comedy acts every night. Not sure if because of cost-cutting issues due to fewer people traveling and $1.2B in losses by RC, inflation, or something else. Is this still an issue? What should we expect about evening shows? Can we see what events are planned are typically available on the EOTS?
(6) Is there anything else that we should expect to be different than pre-covid cruise travel?
