What's safer, a plane or a cruise?

white men can't fly but I need to know can white men boat

how safe is it to go on a cruise ship versus an airplane? Because it definitely ain't that safe to go on an airplane

cruises are definitely less safe for life on earth
just go poach rhinos instead there's less chance of getting norovirus
- cruises are definitely less safe for life on earth
  Did you do the math? I feel like they're not, assuming the cruise is for necessary travel rather than just leisure
  Pretty much everything we use gets shipped, so ships are definitely more efficient than planes, so they'd probably be better for pollution/climate change
  
  cruises are the worst way in the world to travel from one place to another, they're not passenger liners lmao those are gone 4evr
  people used to be able to book passage on freighters but i don't know if it's still a thing
  
  Absolutely false. Cruise ships are the least energy efficient form of travel currently in major use. 250g CO₂ per passenger per kilometer is horrific.
  Even super-short-haul flights like Saarbrücken-Luxembourg (80 km), Milwaukee-Chicago (108 km), Colorado Springs-Denver (117 km), Munster-Bremen (147 km) are still more efficient.
  If your flight is further than 500 km, you will produce roughly half the effective greenhouse gas emissions of the most efficient cruise ship trip, including the high altitude emission effects.
  
  with the amount of care and feeding that people demand as compared to cargo, and considering the gnarly fuels often used in ships, I wonder how much better it really is. of course it's better pound for pound for shipping cargo, but when you add up all the amenities multiplied by the days/weeks spent aboard, I feel like it probably isn't that great.

Considering that there are 10,000 airplanes in the sky at any given time, and crashes are so infrequent they make headline news for days, I'm going with airplane

never get on a cruise ship that holds more than 300 passengers
- why not?
