Perhaps the HEPA filters were doing more than you think. I would say the infections were more likely caused by contact transmission, given the number of cruise ship passengers on board, and the small number of non-cruise passengers infected.
Routine practice in hospitals is for rooms to have a positive pressure; the clean air comes from the top, the dirty air sucked out at the bottom. I am guessing that is why CC are less likely to be infected, as they will routinely be above the faces of pax.
