You want peace of mind (particularly during a pandemic).

Changes in country entry rules, weather, or other unforeseen problems can ruin a trip. No time has proven true than the present. A cruise lets you off the hook. Should plans need to change, the cruise line plans for you (with your safety in mind) without interrupting your trip. Unlike on land, where different hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues may have different protocols, cruise lines are regimented. No matter the destination, safety and protocols are standard and reliable—while erring on the side of caution.
