I'm thinking it is due to the short cruises 5-7 day runs.

Not sure what you are saying.

 

I would say the most common cruises at 7 day ones across the industry.  But what does that have to do with covid protocol?

I’m guessing they meant the shorter voyages are basically the incubation period, so by the time you’d test positive, you’d be off the ship anyway.
